Earthwise Painting And Contracting

Shoddy Business Practices Deck Refinishing Not at all happy with this company. I was asked to pay a 50% deposit just to secure the job. Never, Ever pay 50%, that is 50% that you have to fight to get back when they default on the contract, as was the case with this business. Kelli showed up three weeks late to do the work, completely changed everything he and I had agreed on to refinish my deck without consulting me (that is what a contract is for, so you agree on a procedure then follow it, because every procedure affects the cost). Also, instead of showing with the two man crew I was promised (and I had paid for) he arrived with one guy that he had hired off the street a few days prior, a person with absolutely no experience. Kelli gave him a brief verbal tutorial then left, leaving the inexperienced one to do the job. The hired help only lasted an hour and a half, then he too left as he (quote) "had a headache". This was someone I was being charged $65 per hour. It went from there to be another 5 weeks of no communications, ignored messages, repeatedly being stood up for arranged meetings, and repeated requests from me to have my deposit returned, which were also equally ignored. Two months after hiring this company, the project looked exactly as the day I called them, yet I was out the money given. I thought I had hired this company to refinish my deck, in actuality I had paid them to bring me anger, disappointment and frustration. With all the business’s to choose from, listen to your intuition on this one.
