Business ProfileforArchery Painting

In September 2021 we met with Joe U****** of Archery Painting and hired him to paint our condo in ******** *******, ********** ** while we were away for the winter. We had already painted several closets using a white paint from **** ***** and wanted the rest of the condo painted the same color. We showed him the can that we had used and offered to give him the can. Instead, he wrote down some information and said he stated he never sprays paint. On Jan. 29, 2022, we send him a deposit for $1725 and a set of keys for entry. We arrived the evening of April 14 and met him in the parking area. He returned the keys and we paid him the balance of $1450. When we entered our condo, we immediately saw it was painted yellow (including ceilings), not the white of our closet. We called him and he returned to our condo, and he offered to repaint it. The next day he reneged on repainting and refused to give us any refund. Besides, we realized it was the worst paint job we had ever seen with paint on windows, floors, hardware, far inside vents clogging them (even though he insisted he hadn’t sprayed), and damage to personal items inside closets. He missed some areas altogether. He left us with a can of the paint he used, a cheap paint for industrial use accounting for the rough texture of the walls. We are in the process of repainting the condo ourselves since we do not have the money to afford another painter. When finished, we will have spent approximately $1,500 on material (paint + replacing hardware, vents, personal property) not to mention the time and aggravation that this experience has caused. We feel that Joe U****** took advantage of two senior citizens.
