Default Don't Use Bauerlein Construction!!!

These guys approached my mom, 81, Village of Polo Ridge, and said they had purchased the company from the prior owners. They would extend her (outside) painting warranty if they could re-seal and repaint. It was about 5 years since it was last painted, and some areas were chalking. She has a Lantana, and they offered to do the job for $2,200. She had just had the banding (accent colors) done two months ago by a different person (who did an excellent job), so they weren't going to touch those. First red flag: When he showed up with the contract, he had increased the price $176. He said this was for 'tax'. AND he wanted $600 up front. She cancelled, then he said he would do it for the original price, with nothing up front. She agreed.
Well, they did the job, but got paint on her pavers, everyone of her brand new light fixtures, her bird cage, her plants, mulch next to the house, her pottery on the front porch, and some of the just painted banding! The guy pressured her to pay him, and being fearful, she did! To be honest, she didn't notice most of the sloppiness until later. I called him, and he was quite rude, and said he would send the painter to fix it! who wants that? He didn't even care! I am so angry! They are not worth the trouble, and I'll be looking into making a complaint against their license.
