We got an estimate a couple of years ago from a business in T.V. We wanted two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a hallway of our 1400 sq. ft. house painted. The estimator told us $800.00 for the job so we hired them. We were also told a crew would come and do it in short order. The day came and when I opened the door only one person was there. I said to him, "you're the only one??" He looked at me with a questioning look and responded with a yes and asked which room. I said "NOT a room but what I got the estimate on" and showed him. He immediately went outside and spoke on the phone in Spanish and then started the job. Soon the owner of the business came and said "your contract said ONE room". I don't know what happened but we had a conversation and said your estimator gave us this quote and we're not happy! So we ended up paying maybe $50.00 more but got the job we were expecting. I won't name the company but will tell you "IF" you PM me. We're happy with the results but next time would definitely be more careful. We used to do the painting ourselves but are no longer interested in doing that.
