I contracted College Works Painting Inc to stain my houseI was totally happy with the price and the outcomeMy primary contact was Matt O'BrianHe was a pleasure to work with - excellent communication, totally transparent, and responsive to our requests and feedbackHis crew did a great job with the house, and were careful about not stomping on our gardenI would definitely recommend Matt and his crew, and will use them again in the future if needed
Contracted (6/10/16) with an employee/intern of College Works Painting to paint home, which included: -start date of August 10-(latest) pending extreme weather difficulties (rain) -pressure wash of home -scraping of old paint -hammering in nails, caulking, sanding/smoothing -painting of home (brush/spray/roller) -daily walk through to ensure satisfaction -daily clean up (have two children and a dog) After numerous delays due to work on one previous house, "crew issues," and broken promises of starting, had a 1:meeting with "E [redacted] " on 8.24.16: "Summary of today's discussion: -Communication/Transparency is the focus PLAN: -Finish door today-12PM to 7PM, with your crew-Returning Sunday to do work, with crew-Goal of wrapping up Monday/Tuesday (8/30/16)The Work: -Scraping/Sanding as we discussed-Downspouts same color as Trim (Whitetail) -Gutters --> Demo of Whitetail vsMorning Fog so we can finalilze -No Painting of concrete foundation -Sprayed pain is NOT being thin
House painting work was contracted for $8,I paid a 10% deposit, which should have resulted in a remaining balance of $7,When the work was completed, I was instead charged $10,I did not sign any contract authorizing extra work which would have increased the chargeIf extra work was performed, it may have been due to a matter of miscommunication between the workers and the project's manager, and not by my requestIn particular, I seem to have been charged for a drastic color change, which was not required--and in fact would have been forbidden by the rules of my HOA, which were discussed in detail with the companyThe house should have only needed a single coat of its original color to cover weatheringI sent an e-mail to the company contact I was working with to resolve this issue, but it has gone unanswered
We absolutely recommend J.Rene O [redacted] Jrwith College Works PaintingRene and his crew, were dependable and professional in an easy and enjoyable wayWe were more than pleased with how our home turned outHe certainly gets our recommendationSincerely, [redacted] & [redacted] ***
Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:This is factually inaccurate We did not ask College Works to do anything different than what was covered in our bid I think it would be a reasonable assumption that anyone painting their house would not be using an exactly identical color, otherwise what would be the purpose of painting the house be? Our house is a light grey / beige and we have selected a slightly darker grey for the new color Andy, the original person who provided us the estimate explicitly told us that we could pick any color and that the one coat solution would work because it is "super paint" which is a premium product He originally told us that he would come in and do a design consultation in June so that we could pick the colors that we want I there was no color change intended in the original bid, why was this part of the process? I'd like to verify with College Works HQ on the intent of the design consultation process if that is not the case The fact that Chris is now suggesting that what we are doing is outside of the original contract is simply ludicrous More than anything, I think this is a reflection of his integrity that he would even attempt such an argument.The other point that I want to clarify is that I didn't reject Chris's offers I told him that I would have to think about it and consult with my wife before I let him know He said he would do that but I found out that he pre-emptively cancelled my contract and requested a refund shortly after our conversation, and before I let him know which direction I wanted to go I think this speaks to Chris's lack of willingness to honor his commitments.Finally, we were pressured into accepting the original agreement in March in order to get the 10% discount By Chris not honoring the contract, I ended up paying the large downpayment without the benefit of the 10% discount, and left without much choice given the time of year.As noted in Chris's reply, he no longer has a representative in Southwest Washington, making it more expensive for him to honor his commitment to customers in this area Both Jarrod and Chris pressured me heavily to cancel my contract, and in the end Chris did so without my consent This makes sense given his financial motivation, but I think it is inappropriate for businesses to try and change the terms of their contracts or cancel contracts simply because it is not convenient or profitable for them to continue I wonder how many other Vancouver/Camas customers are in the same boat as me, and left with no options or pressured to pay higher pricesSincerely, [redacted] ***
We were impressed with the entire process! From nailing down the contract, to choosing the paint color and through the completion of the jobThe attention to detail was amazing and the communication I received on a daily basis made this a lot less stressful than other jobs I've hired for
I believe Daniel S [redacted] , the scheduler/salesperson I worked with works out of the main office, but the painting team itself is local to the Seattle areaI don't know exactly where they are based, however
