Painting of residential home 7/1/2013

by Kelly O at Customer Lobby Provided by Customer Lobby

Looks great. Timely, no mess, and efficient. My only concern is that when an employee came to the property to give an estimate, he suggested that a few areas of siding needed to be replaced. He quoted me a price per linear footage and said that the painting crew would replace the areas during prep. I was not on site during prep. When the painting job was completed, I asked the lead painter where siding was replaced, and he said no siding was replaced. So, I'm assuming the painting crew painted over rotted siding. That is the only thing I'm disappointed about. Everything else was great. Thank you. more

Patriot is great, their subcontracted painters may not be 6/28/2013

All my dealings directly with Miguel of Patriot were great! Patriot was very professional, and delivered. However, the paint crew they hired was a different story. This crew was from JM Painting, and I would refuse their service next time. They cut corners, did not follow the contract, and delivered a poor to average service. The paint crew did not use drop cloths in many cases. They got paint on my patio stones and concrete. The worst was the overspray on my skylight. I wrote to Miguel and warned that the skylights are acrylic and thus very delicate. I arrived home to find the painters using metal paint scrapers to clean the skylight...they ruined one by scratching it. Patriot did remove the cost of replacing the skylights from my bill, but I still have to go through the hassle of having them replaced when a single dropcloth would have prevented everything. The painters did not prep well. They did not scrape most of my flaking paint, and instead painted over it. They also did a poor job of caulking and never sanded or primed as is spelled out in the contract. A few cut corners ended up costing Patriot in the end. I'm sure I will call them out in 1 year to repair the already failing paint (bubbling and flaking due to no prep work). I hope Patriot hires better subcontractors in the future. more
