Beware of Xcalibur Coating
 
Use Xcalibur Coating at your own peril!
We used them to coat our lanai, outside patio and walkways. The job was to take 3 days and now at day 10 we have to finish all the touch-up that this amateur crew caused. For any item they attempted to fix, they created 5 more flaws. Sam Allison did not follow the work and accused us of scratching and gouging the paint, even though it was caused by the pressure washer that was used to unsuccessfully get paint off the siding and our screens. We finally agreed to a $200 reduction in price so we could install new screen on the lanai and repaint numerous areas. After we paid Mr. Allison, he proceeded to threaten us and use the most foul language. We have never experienced such vile behavior from anyone, let alone a person in business. We have had numerous contractors (5) do jobs for us here in the Villages with with very good results. So BEWARE!!! We are sure there are many reputable coating contractors available. We only wish we would have found one.

Hi, we made the mistake of asking him while he was doing a quote nearby. He is a real scammer, he is so irresponsible and does not follow his work. When something is done wrong, by his "crew" he blames us. Had a dispute over his costs, he agreed to reduce cost and then turned on us like an animal, I mean a real mean animal.. Stay clear of this critter. He is not licensed and he is a real liar about everything, want to know more. Let us know.

Stay clear of this critter. He is not licensed and he is a real liar about everything, want to know more. Let us know. He threatened us and I am not bowing to him but I was afraid he would hit my wife. He is a real case of trouble, nice at front and really explosive. The kind of guy who probably needs some lockup or whatever.
