Complaint: [redacted] RE: CCB file#: [redacted] Ultimately, a resolution was facilitated by an Oregon Construction Contractors Board mediator, not Mr K [redacted] Essentially, the State's mediator agreed that All American Paint Company and David K [redacted] were in breach of contract, otherwise would have been different resolution MrK [redacted] would've ended with a deficit if this issue had to be arbitrated in court, and we would've had to deal with court proceedings The mediator felt that for such a small amount it would be in the best interests of both parties to simply part ways with an agreed settlement, dismissing all previous contracts Proof of this resolution also could have simply been done by referring to the Construction Contractors Board file number, [redacted] , but instead, MrK [redacted] illegitimately released confidential, state documentation to the Revdex.com that can normally only be obtained by making a request in writing, personally appearing to a specific Oregon state office Regardless if the Revdex.com publishes this confidential documentation or not, MrK***'s actions are irresponsible and reprehensible in handling confidential, state documentation and this is a continued example of his disregard of proper and legal procedures During this complaint process we discovered he not only did not do previous work he claimed, but is also not lead-based licensed He also had an employee, but has no employee insurance, therefore jeopardizing our own homeowners insurance [redacted] CAUTION [redacted] If considering this business - we seriously and strongly suggest thoroughly checking all actual referenced work, contractors license, bond and insurance We consider ourselves fortunate this issue is now closed but by only with the help of the CCB
[redacted] Please See Attached Documents [redacted] This is an accurate and detailed account refuting MrK [redacted] ’s defamatory claims and slanderous accusations.MrK***’s response is more of opinion, exaggerations, lies, lacks specifics, and makes defamatory claims MrK [redacted] and All American Painting, however, has an upcoming site inspection conducted by Oregon’s Contractor Board, and is currently being investigated for improper licensing and lack of insurance, and possible illegal actions, which may result in fines, and possible suspension of license.K [redacted] ’s claims of a hostile environment are unfounded and untrue It’s a farcical, outlandish claim when I personally made and served him iced espresso drinks, other times serving both him and his employee iced lemonade, iced limeade, and provided bottled water We also went out of our way to purchase extra bee traps, and just in case, bee sting ointments, medicines and first aid products for the summer’s beesOf course, none of this was requiredNOT a hostile environment at all Further example of a NON-hostile environment was when MrK [redacted] expressed interest in several variety of our yard plants we have, and I personally offered starter plants from each he asked about We even gave MrK [redacted] a very, large supply of lavender from our garden worth well over $200, specifically, for his wife because he mentioned how much she enjoyed lavender (none of which are we looking for compensation) I would suggest MrK [redacted] has either seriously confused us with someone else, or is fabricating a situation in attempts to better his position MrK [redacted] gives NO examples how I was supposedly, “hostile.” If he continues with this language I will include a defamation lawsuit with the extra costs due his negligence Simply put - it’s not true MrK [redacted] gives NO examples because I was NEVER hostile I NEVER asked K [redacted] to vacuum paint chips and dust It was his OWN decision on how to clean up his waste MrK [redacted] ’s claim that I was demanding may extend only to when I had to tell him not to dump debris in the city recycle bin, and out of our bushes I have photo evidence showing both, and will be supplying them to the contractors board, and also EPA if necessary If test results turn out to be lead based, MrK [redacted] will be liable for not only improperly handling, but also illegally dumping toxic wasteComplaints? I have no idea except maybe the two brand new window air conditioner units he and his employee ruined by not covering them before sanding over them They were filled with paint dust and stopped workingOtherwise I had to tell him and his employee not to smoke in the yard that was badly dry and because of the cedar wood siding, and when I discovered they were dumping paint debris in the yard And I work from home, so, I’m going to be around the house There were absolutely NO work delays, and if - they were caused by MrK [redacted] ’s own tardiness, early departures, and long lunch breaks Keeping a log of his work times, most times not to work until 9:- 9:45, taking usually to & ½ hour lunches, and on average - left by 4: The latest he worked was 5:one day, and 5:another (leaving site by those times) To date - MrK [redacted] has NOT finished his job, nor even the first 50% based on his own contract.A contractor is responsible for clean up and disposable of any waste, and we only asked what was required of him Furthermore, if product is found to be toxic, steps are required and necessary for a contractor to do As far as I know - MrK [redacted] didn’t even first perform testing procedures required by state and federal laws We found out about these things after K [redacted] abandoned our job, while talking with a friend about the situation who’s a contractor.I asked that our very small, city mandated trash can not be used, but I never asked, let alone demand for K [redacted] to take any debris to his home (see att email) I only asked to bag up debris instead of dumping it in the bushes between mine and my neighbor yard, as they had already been doing I found he had also been dumping into the city’s recycle receptacle I have photos of thisAt that time I also had to ask for a second time, not to smoke in our yard, especially with our very dry grass, our cedar siding, all during the city of Portland’s ban on firesI mentioned this all in email, which I’m including.It was K [redacted] , himself who suggested using his shop vac to gather paint dust and chips His employee previously mentioned they used a leaf blower in reverse There’s even a garbage dump miles from our house on MrK [redacted] ’s direct route home It’s absurd and ludicrous for a business, a grown man try to convince the Revdex.com that I forced MrK [redacted] to take debris to his own home That was of his own accord.I never caused any work delays, nor can K [redacted] substantiate such claimsHe gave the Revdex.com no examples of such supposed delays, because there are none IF there were any time issues it was due to K [redacted] ’s own lackadaisical schedule I kept a detailed calendared /time log of K [redacted] ’s schedule summarized here: Most times, arriving between 9:to 9:50, some after 10am He consistently took an hour to one and one-half hour lunches, then leaving around 4:- 4:(latest, only once 5:20) with an overall average hours per day On his last day, he took nearly ½ - hour lunchThese times mentioned don’t even account for the multitude of breaks and smoking breaks he and his employee took throughout each day This what accounts for any delay of time Otherwise, I only spoke with him at beginning, end of day or one of his many breaks he took.MrK [redacted] ’s description and wording provided to the Revdex.com regarding myself on the job site is less than truthful and misleading What MrK [redacted] refers to as “complaining” would be more accurately called - pointing out things he hadn’t done but promised to do These conversations were not random or frequent, but as previously mentioned, normally at the beginning or end of the day or during one of his many breaksMrK [redacted] also further fails to disclose to the Revdex.com, more importantly - the fact that I work from homeIt’s a little difficult not to be at the job site, when it’s also my place of work.We did not attempt to “bargain” anything, nor did we ever refuse any payment What we did was offer a “pre-payment” before he reached 50% complete, and he refused it He also refused to even finish the first 50% of the jobIf we had made payment when he demanded - we would have been contractually agreeing that we though he had completed 50%, which he had not I personally spoke with him about this on his last day.K [redacted] feels he completed 50%, however, his own contract disputes his positionHis contract doesn’t even provide an accurate description, perimeters, nor stipulates his claim of what 50% is Oregon law lays any benefit of doubt to the non-contracting party (us) and meaning: it’s K [redacted] ’s responsibility to have a clear and concise contract The benefit of doubt is in our favor As I said, K [redacted] is ambiguous with his claims and accusations.K [redacted] further contradicts even his spoken definition when he said 50% complete meant all “preparation” had been done Upon my further scrutiny, I asked what that entailed and he said “preparation” meant that All sanding, scraping, spackle, caulking would be done, including a final wash of paint dust from the house would finalize the first 50% NONE of these had been completed, and I told him on the day he walked off the job Further evidence of K [redacted] ’s breech of contract can be shown by simple evidence from materials purchased and used by the new contractor who actually completed the work; using approximately tubes of caulking, and large can of spackle, two rolls of plastic, two rolls of blocking paper, rolls of masking tape, rolls of blue tape, and more! K [redacted] , had and has nothing to show, neither by agreed upon material or receipt.The new contractor also had to repair much of K [redacted] ’s work either due to it being incomplete or incompetently done, along with other damage he caused that I previously mentioned in my original complaint These additional costs are close if not already exceeded K [redacted] ’s original asking price, and he will be liable for most al of it if this situation proceeds to court.MrK [redacted] either misunderstood when he spoke with Oregon Contractors Board regarding what “50% complete” - or he’s lying When I spoke with the same representative of the Contractors Board, they recognized there’s a breech of contract on MrK [redacted] ’s part because, First: there’s no clear definition of what 50% is, and Second, even by K [redacted] ’s own verbal definition of what entailed “all prep work done” - he failed to complete all preparation.The fact of the matter is, in this situation it was not up to MrK [redacted] ’s discretion as to when 50% was completed Regardless of what K [redacted] “thinks” or says regarding 50% - it’s a moot point This is a contractual issue, and there’s no specifics in the contract It’s not up to K [redacted] ’s discretion after the fact; the appropriate time for K [redacted] ’s “discretion” to be applied was at the time he wrote his own contract.Further on contract — is what’s NOT on contact There’s absolutely no supplies or any materials listed nor accounted for and is disputed There is some kind of $amount listed, but absolutely nothing shows with it, not any products, material names, nothing, and there for is null and will not be counted Furthermore to this point is MrK [redacted] ’s own contract, whereas states: that “IF” any products are needed to be purchased, it must be done IN WRITING, and AGREED upon He presented a price for the job to be done, and anything beyond that is null Even if he claims items purchased, he can’t account for any of his own claimed materials, and can’t contradict actual product and materials shown to purchased and used by the new contractor, of which we have real, accountable receipts, including all the finished, discarded product has been kept as evidence to show There is nothing to be paid to for fictitious materials There are however, as stated, materials and services that had to be purchased due to MrK [redacted] ’s damage and negligence.MrK [redacted] ’s incompetent work did in fact result in damage, NOT to our sidewalk, but to the concrete base of our front stairway when he recklessly used his power washer He knows this, said he would fix it, and in fact, he had concrete mix on site for nearly the entire duration he was here If he would like to dispute this, I can provide photographs showing his concrete supply on site While spaying he further damaged a door matt, completely spaying off the sand texture, also flooded our kitchen by spraying directly into seam around the outside door, flooded basement areas by also spaying directly into seams of basement windows Later, flooding resulted in our basement due to his negligence, leaving off gutter down spouts he had removed, but did not put back when he abandoned the job The services and product for damage he caused are all also accountable for by receipt.It’s also now come to our attention that although MrK [redacted] has a general contractors license in Oregon, he’s not licensed nor insured to have an employee, nor work with hazardous materials K [redacted] told us he would be the only one working on our house but early in the job he hired someone, jeopardizing This has become known since the Oregon Contractors Board became involved.Upon further research due to this issue, we have found MrK [redacted] neglected to do sample tests required by all certified contractors Furthermore, it’s come to our attention that MrK [redacted] is not certified in lead paint handling, nor handled nor disposed properly of potentially lead based materials He also illegally employed a person when he had no employee insurance as required by Oregon Contractors Board These things are being let known to the board and MrK [redacted] will be held responsible and liable for whatever actions the board takes against MrK [redacted] .To date, MrK [redacted] has not communicated with us, nor our attorney, nor has he provided any verifiable documentation of ANY sort, other than his original contract The last time we heard from MrK [redacted] was in a threatening toned email his wife wrote, August 31st, received September 3rd This is evident with both tracking numbers K [redacted] claims to have sent Nothing has ever been delivered or refused, and one actually was delivered to himself (see attached document showing delivery to Fairview, K [redacted] ’s address)Our attorney has also been in direct contact with K [redacted] , addressing all the issues we addressed with him, and offered K [redacted] the additional ability to communicate through him, but K [redacted] has either refused or ignored all offers to resolve this matter I can make these letters available to the Revdex.com as evidence if necessary.Our attempt to keep communications open shows we’ve had every good intention with this transaction and reach an amicably resolution MrK [redacted] has shown he’s had no intention to complete the job professionally, with quality, but rather provide Revdex.com with a exaggerated account.Please find (current) supporting documentation Will provide more later[redacted] ***SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS REDACTED BY Revdex.com***
Complaint: [redacted]
RE: CCB file#: [redacted]
Ultimately, a resolution was facilitated by an Oregon Construction Contractors Board mediator, not Mr K[redacted]. Essentially, the State's mediator agreed that All American Paint Company and David K[redacted] were in breach of contract, otherwise would have been different resolution.
Mr. K[redacted] would've ended with a deficit if this issue had to be arbitrated in court, and we would've had to deal with court proceedings. The mediator felt that for such a small amount it would be in the best interests of both parties to simply part ways with an agreed settlement, dismissing all previous contracts.
Proof of this resolution also could have simply been done by referring to the Construction Contractors Board file number, [redacted], but instead, Mr. K[redacted] illegitimately released confidential, state documentation to the Revdex.com that can normally only be obtained by making a request in writing, personally appearing to a specific Oregon state office.
Regardless if the Revdex.com publishes this confidential documentation or not, Mr. K[redacted]'s actions are irresponsible and reprehensible in handling confidential, state documentation and this is a continued example of his disregard of proper and legal procedures.
During this complaint process we discovered he not only did not do previous work he claimed, but is also not lead-based licensed. He also had an employee, but has no employee insurance, therefore jeopardizing our own homeowners insurance.
** CAUTION **
If considering this business - we seriously and strongly suggest thoroughly checking all actual referenced work, contractors license, bond and insurance.
We consider ourselves fortunate this issue is now closed but by only with the help of the CCB.

This is an accurate and detailed account refuting Mr. K[redacted]’s defamatory claims and slanderous accusations.Mr. K[redacted]’s response is more of opinion, exaggerations, lies, lacks specifics, and makes defamatory claims. Mr. K[redacted] and All American Painting, however, has an upcoming site inspection conducted by Oregon’s Contractor Board, and is currently being investigated for improper licensing and lack of insurance, and possible illegal actions, which may result in fines, and possible suspension of license.K[redacted]’s claims of a hostile environment are unfounded and untrue. It’s a farcical, outlandish claim when I personally made and served him iced espresso drinks, other times serving both him and his employee iced lemonade, iced limeade, and provided bottled water. We also went out of our way to purchase extra bee traps, and just in case, bee sting ointments, medicines and first aid products for the summer’s bees. Of course, none of this was required. NOT a hostile environment at all. Further example of a NON-hostile environment was when Mr. K[redacted] expressed interest in several variety of our yard plants we have, and I personally offered starter plants from each he asked about. We even gave Mr. K[redacted] a very, large supply of lavender from our garden worth well over $200, specifically, for his wife because he mentioned how much she enjoyed lavender. (none of which are we looking for compensation) I would suggest Mr. K[redacted] has either seriously confused us with someone else, or is fabricating a situation in attempts to better his position. Mr. K[redacted] gives NO examples how I was supposedly, “hostile.” If he continues with this language I will include a defamation lawsuit with the extra costs due his negligence. Simply put - it’s not true. Mr. K[redacted] gives NO examples because I was NEVER hostile. I NEVER asked K[redacted] to vacuum paint chips and dust. It was his OWN decision on how to clean up his waste. Mr. K[redacted]’s claim that I was demanding may extend only to when I had to tell him not to dump debris in the city recycle bin, and out of our bushes. I have photo evidence showing both, and will be supplying them to the contractors board, and also EPA if necessary. If test results turn out to be lead based, Mr. K[redacted] will be liable for not only improperly handling, but also illegally dumping toxic waste. Complaints? I have no idea except maybe the two brand new window air conditioner units he and his employee ruined by not covering them before sanding over them. They were filled with paint dust and stopped working. Otherwise I had to tell him and his employee not to smoke in the yard that was badly dry and because of the cedar wood siding, and when I discovered they were dumping paint debris in the yard. And I work from home, so, I’m going to be around the house. There were absolutely NO work delays, and if - they were caused by Mr. K[redacted]’s own tardiness, early departures, and long lunch breaks. Keeping a log of his work times, most times not to work until 9:30 - 9:45, taking usually 1 to 1 & ½ hour lunches, and on average - left by 4:30. The latest he worked was 5:10 one day, and 5:20 another (leaving site by those times) To date - Mr. K[redacted] has NOT finished his job, nor even the first 50% based on his own contract.A contractor is responsible for clean up and disposable of any waste, and we only asked what was required of him. Furthermore, if product is found to be toxic, steps are required and necessary for a contractor to do. As far as I know - Mr. K[redacted] didn’t even first perform testing procedures required by state and federal laws. We found out about these things after K[redacted] abandoned our job, while talking with a friend about the situation who’s a contractor.I asked that our very small, city mandated trash can not be used, but I never asked, let alone demand for K[redacted] to take any debris to his home. (see att email) I only asked to bag up debris instead of dumping it in the bushes between mine and my neighbor yard, as they had already been doing. I found he had also been dumping into the city’s recycle receptacle. I have photos of this. At that time I also had to ask for a second time, not to smoke in our yard, especially with our very dry grass, our cedar siding, all during the city of Portland’s ban on fires. I mentioned this all in email, which I’m including.It was K[redacted], himself who suggested using his shop vac to gather paint dust and chips. His employee previously mentioned they used a leaf blower in reverse. There’s even a garbage dump 2.1 miles from our house on Mr. K[redacted]’s direct route home. It’s absurd and ludicrous for a business, a grown man try to convince the Revdex.com that I forced Mr. K[redacted] to take debris to his own home. That was of his own accord.I never caused any work delays, nor can K[redacted] substantiate such false claims. He gave the Revdex.com no examples of such supposed delays, because there are none. IF there were any time issues it was due to K[redacted]’s own lackadaisical schedule. I kept a detailed calendared /time log of K[redacted]’s schedule summarized here: Most times, arriving between 9:30 to 9:50, some after 10am. He consistently took an hour to one and one-half hour lunches, then leaving around 4:15 - 4:30 (latest, only once 5:20) with an overall average 5 hours per day. On his last day, he took nearly 2 ½ - 3 hour lunch. These times mentioned don’t even account for the multitude of breaks and smoking breaks he and his employee took throughout each day. This what accounts for any delay of time. Otherwise, I only spoke with him at beginning, end of day or one of his many breaks he took.Mr. K[redacted]’s description and wording provided to the Revdex.com regarding myself on the job site is less than truthful and misleading. What Mr. K[redacted] refers to as “complaining” would be more accurately called - pointing out things he hadn’t done but promised to do. These conversations were not random or frequent, but as previously mentioned, normally at the beginning or end of the day or during one of his many breaks. Mr. K[redacted] also further fails to disclose to the Revdex.com, more importantly - the fact that I work from home.

If we had made payment when he demanded - we would have been contractually agreeing that we though he had completed 50%, which he had not. I personally spoke with him about this on his last day.K[redacted] feels he completed 50%, however, his own contract disputes his position. His contract doesn’t even provide an accurate description, perimeters, nor stipulates his claim of what 50% is. Oregon law lays any benefit of doubt to the non-contracting party (us) and meaning: it’s K[redacted]’s responsibility to have a clear and concise contract. The benefit of doubt is in our favor. As I said, K[redacted] is ambiguous with his claims and accusations.K[redacted] further contradicts even his spoken definition when he said 50% complete meant all “preparation” had been done. Upon my further scrutiny, I asked what that entailed and he said “preparation” meant that All sanding, scraping, spackle, caulking would be done, including a final wash of paint dust from the house would finalize the first 50%. NONE of these had been completed, and I told him on the day he walked off the job. Further evidence of K[redacted]’s breech of contract can be shown by simple evidence from materials purchased and used by the new contractor who actually completed the work; using approximately 15 tubes of caulking, and 1 large can of spackle, two rolls of plastic, two rolls of blocking paper, 4 rolls of masking tape, 2 rolls of blue tape, and more! K[redacted], had and has nothing to show, neither by agreed upon material or receipt.The new contractor also had to repair much of K[redacted]’s work either due to it being incomplete or incompetently done, along with other damage he caused that I previously mentioned in my original complaint. These additional costs are close if not already exceeded K[redacted]’s original asking price, and he will be liable for most al of it if this situation proceeds to court.Mr. K[redacted] either misunderstood when he spoke with Oregon Contractors Board regarding what “50% complete” - or he’s lying. When I spoke with the same representative of the Contractors Board, they recognized there’s a breech of contract on Mr. K[redacted]’s part because, First: there’s no clear definition of what 50% is, and Second, even by K[redacted]’s own verbal definition of what entailed “all prep work done” - he failed to complete all preparation.The fact of the matter is, in this situation it was not up to Mr. K[redacted]’s discretion as to when 50% was completed. Regardless of what K[redacted] “thinks” or says regarding 50% - it’s a moot point. This is a contractual issue, and there’s no specifics in the contract. It’s not up to K[redacted]’s discretion after the fact; the appropriate time for K[redacted]’s “discretion” to be applied was at the time he wrote his own contract.Further on contract — is what’s NOT on contact. There’s absolutely no supplies or any materials listed nor accounted for and is disputed. There is some kind of $130 amount listed, but absolutely nothing shows with it, not any products, material names, nothing, and there for is null and will not be counted. Furthermore to this point is Mr. K[redacted]’s own contract, whereas states: that “IF” any products are needed to be purchased, it must be done IN WRITING, and AGREED upon. He presented a price for the job to be done, and anything beyond that is null. Even if he claims items purchased, he can’t account for any of his own claimed materials, and can’t contradict actual product and materials shown to purchased and used by the new contractor, of which we have real, accountable receipts, including all the finished, discarded product has been kept as evidence to show. There is nothing to be paid to for fictitious materials. There are however, as stated, materials and services that had to be purchased due to Mr. K[redacted]’s damage and negligence.Mr. K[redacted]’s incompetent work did in fact result in damage, NOT to our sidewalk, but to the concrete base of our front stairway when he recklessly used his power washer. He knows this, said he would fix it, and in fact, he had concrete mix on site for nearly the entire duration he was here. If he would like to dispute this, I can provide photographs showing his concrete supply on site. While spaying he further damaged a door matt, completely spaying off the sand texture, also flooded our kitchen by spraying directly into seam around the outside door, flooded basement areas by also spaying directly into seams of basement windows. Later, flooding resulted in our basement due to his negligence, leaving off gutter down spouts he had removed, but did not put back when he abandoned the job. The services and product for damage he caused are all also accountable for by receipt.It’s also now come to our attention that although Mr. K[redacted] has a general contractors license in Oregon, he’s not licensed nor insured to have an employee, nor work with hazardous materials. K[redacted] told us he would be the only one working on our house but early in the job he hired someone, jeopardizing. This has become known since the Oregon Contractors Board became involved.Upon further research due to this issue, we have found Mr. K[redacted] neglected to do sample tests required by all certified contractors. Furthermore, it’s come to our attention that Mr. K[redacted] is not certified in lead paint handling, nor handled nor disposed properly of potentially lead based materials. He also illegally employed a person when he had no employee insurance as required by Oregon Contractors Board. These things are being let known to the board and Mr. K[redacted] will be held responsible and liable for whatever actions the board takes against Mr. K[redacted].To date, Mr. K[redacted] has not communicated with us, nor our attorney, nor has he provided any verifiable documentation of ANY sort, other than his original contract. The last time we heard from Mr. K[redacted] was in a threatening toned email his wife wrote, August 31st, received September 3rd. This is evident with both tracking numbers K[redacted] claims to have sent. Nothing has ever been delivered or refused, and one actually was delivered to himself. (see attached document showing delivery to Fairview, K[redacted]’s address)Our attorney has also been in direct contact with K[redacted], addressing all the issues we addressed with him, and offered K[redacted] the additional ability to communicate through him, but K[redacted] has either refused or ignored all offers to resolve this matter. I can make these letters available to the Revdex.com as evidence if necessary.Our attempt to keep communications open shows we’ve had every good intention with this transaction and reach an amicably resolution.

Default NoticeContract TerminationPayment DemandDear Revdex.com Representative,In regards to the complaint received from [redacted] we wish to submit our explanation and legal documents on behalf of All American Painting Corporation. As per the 5 day notice handed to Mr. [redacted] (customer) on 8/31/2015, [redacted] failed to make his 50% payment installment on August 28, 2015.When customer received his invoice for payment due via email that stated:August 28,2015Hello [redacted] and [redacted],Please be advised that the painting contract at [redacted], Portland, OR is 50% complete and payment is due.Please remit payment of $1615.02 for job continuation.For your reference, please find your invoice attached.Debra K[redacted]AH American PaintingxCorporationCustomer responded with a paranoid and threatening text as follows:"I didn't appreciate the passive / aggressive threat you had you wife send.You want to threaten us - do it yourself. I'm not going to address your threatening email after businesshours." Customer followed up with email on Monday in an attempt to bargain his payment down to the amount of $1000.00 and began fabricating issues. His numerous emails stated "I have hired someone to repair the sidewalk / concrete, and water damage caused due to caulking not being done. This offset will have to be addressed in your final invoicing."Mr. [redacted] also refused to pay for his sandpaper materials on 8/21/2015 as per our labor only contract.All materials were supplied by All American Painting Corporation and have not been reimbursed in the amount of $130.04.On August 31,2015 Mr. [redacted] was personally handed a 5 day default letter requesting payment in the amount of $1615.02 for 50% work completion.On September 5,2015 Mr. [redacted] was mailed our Contract Termination notice via United States Postal Service Certified Mail delivery Tracking Number: [redacted].On September 21,2015 Mr [redacted] was mailed our Payment Demand Letter via United States Postal Service Certified Mail delivery Tracking Number: [redacted].The documents are attached for your reference.Mr. [redacted] was extremely hostile during my 2 week duration at his residence. He made unreasonable demands such as waste could not be placed in his trash (yes, he expected me to take his sanded paint chip waste to my house) he accused me of damaging his sidewalk, he requested I vacuum up paint dust from sanding before the paint preparation was completed, he constantly wished to walk the job site and complain about tasks not being done when the area was not completed yet - causing numerous work delays. Nonetheless, I tried my very best to work around his hostility and incessant demands and finish the job. However, when Mr. [redacted] failed to pay at his 50% completion (which is closer to 60%) all work ended.I contacted the Oregon Construction Contractors Board via telephone for guidance regarding Mr. [redacted] and was assured that as a licensed, bonded contractor the determination of how much work is completed was at my discretion.It is the intention of All American Painting Corporation to place a lien on his property as well as take Mr. [redacted] to court to recover payments due on labor and materials. Unfortunately, Mr [redacted] has proven to be unrealistic, unreasonable, hostile, paranoid and motivated to have his home repairs completed in an unjustified and dishonest way. Because of the proceeding factors, All American Painting Corporation has found it impossible to engage in business of any type with Mr. [redacted].

[redacted] Please See Attached Documents [redacted] This is an accurate and detailed account refuting MrK [redacted] ’s defamatory claims and slanderous accusations.MrK***’s response is more of opinion, exaggerations, lies, lacks specifics, and makes defamatory claims MrK [redacted] and All American Painting, however, has an upcoming site inspection conducted by Oregon’s Contractor Board, and is currently being investigated for improper licensing and lack of insurance, and possible illegal actions, which may result in fines, and possible suspension of license.K [redacted] ’s claims of a hostile environment are unfounded and untrue It’s a farcical, outlandish claim when I personally made and served him iced espresso drinks, other times serving both him and his employee iced lemonade, iced limeade, and provided bottled water We also went out of our way to purchase extra bee traps, and just in case, bee sting ointments, medicines and first aid products for the summer’s beesOf course, none of this was requiredNOT a hostile environment at all Further example of a NON-hostile environment was when MrK [redacted] expressed interest in several variety of our yard plants we have, and I personally offered starter plants from each he asked about We even gave MrK [redacted] a very, large supply of lavender from our garden worth well over $200, specifically, for his wife because he mentioned how much she enjoyed lavender (none of which are we looking for compensation) I would suggest MrK [redacted] has either seriously confused us with someone else, or is fabricating a situation in attempts to better his position MrK [redacted] gives NO examples how I was supposedly, “hostile.” If he continues with this language I will include a defamation lawsuit with the extra costs due his negligence Simply put - it’s not true MrK [redacted] gives NO examples because I was NEVER hostile I NEVER asked K [redacted] to vacuum paint chips and dust It was his OWN decision on how to clean up his waste MrK [redacted] ’s claim that I was demanding may extend only to when I had to tell him not to dump debris in the city recycle bin, and out of our bushes I have photo evidence showing both, and will be supplying them to the contractors board, and also EPA if necessary If test results turn out to be lead based, MrK [redacted] will be liable for not only improperly handling, but also illegally dumping toxic wasteComplaints? I have no idea except maybe the two brand new window air conditioner units he and his employee ruined by not covering them before sanding over them They were filled with paint dust and stopped workingOtherwise I had to tell him and his employee not to smoke in the yard that was badly dry and because of the cedar wood siding, and when I discovered they were dumping paint debris in the yard And I work from home, so, I’m going to be around the house There were absolutely NO work delays, and if - they were caused by MrK [redacted] ’s own tardiness, early departures, and long lunch breaks Keeping a log of his work times, most times not to work until 9:- 9:45, taking usually to & ½ hour lunches, and on average - left by 4: The latest he worked was 5:one day, and 5:another (leaving site by those times) To date - MrK [redacted] has NOT finished his job, nor even the first 50% based on his own contract.A contractor is responsible for clean up and disposable of any waste, and we only asked what was required of him Furthermore, if product is found to be toxic, steps are required and necessary for a contractor to do As far as I know - MrK [redacted] didn’t even first perform testing procedures required by state and federal laws We found out about these things after K [redacted] abandoned our job, while talking with a friend about the situation who’s a contractor.I asked that our very small, city mandated trash can not be used, but I never asked, let alone demand for K [redacted] to take any debris to his home (see att email) I only asked to bag up debris instead of dumping it in the bushes between mine and my neighbor yard, as they had already been doing I found he had also been dumping into the city’s recycle receptacle I have photos of thisAt that time I also had to ask for a second time, not to smoke in our yard, especially with our very dry grass, our cedar siding, all during the city of Portland’s ban on firesI mentioned this all in email, which I’m including.It was K [redacted] , himself who suggested using his shop vac to gather paint dust and chips His employee previously mentioned they used a leaf blower in reverse There’s even a garbage dump miles from our house on MrK [redacted] ’s direct route home It’s absurd and ludicrous for a business, a grown man try to convince the Revdex.com that I forced MrK [redacted] to take debris to his own home That was of his own accord.I never caused any work delays, nor can K [redacted] substantiate such claimsHe gave the Revdex.com no examples of such supposed delays, because there are none IF there were any time issues it was due to K [redacted] ’s own lackadaisical schedule I kept a detailed calendared /time log of K [redacted] ’s schedule summarized here: Most times, arriving between 9:to 9:50, some after 10am He consistently took an hour to one and one-half hour lunches, then leaving around 4:- 4:(latest, only once 5:20) with an overall average hours per day On his last day, he took nearly ½ - hour lunchThese times mentioned don’t even account for the multitude of breaks and smoking breaks he and his employee took throughout each day This what accounts for any delay of time Otherwise, I only spoke with him at beginning, end of day or one of his many breaks he took.MrK [redacted] ’s description and wording provided to the Revdex.com regarding myself on the job site is less than truthful and misleading What MrK [redacted] refers to as “complaining” would be more accurately called - pointing out things he hadn’t done but promised to do These conversations were not random or frequent, but as previously mentioned, normally at the beginning or end of the day or during one of his many breaksMrK [redacted] also further fails to disclose to the Revdex.com, more importantly - the fact that I work from homeIt’s a little difficult not to be at the job site, when it’s also my place of work.We did not attempt to “bargain” anything, nor did we ever refuse any payment What we did was offer a “pre-payment” before he reached 50% complete, and he refused it He also refused to even finish the first 50% of the jobIf we had made payment when he demanded - we would have been contractually agreeing that we though he had completed 50%, which he had not I personally spoke with him about this on his last day.K [redacted] feels he completed 50%, however, his own contract disputes his positionHis contract doesn’t even provide an accurate description, perimeters, nor stipulates his claim of what 50% is Oregon law lays any benefit of doubt to the non-contracting party (us) and meaning: it’s K [redacted] ’s responsibility to have a clear and concise contract The benefit of doubt is in our favor As I said, K [redacted] is ambiguous with his claims and accusations.K [redacted] further contradicts even his spoken definition when he said 50% complete meant all “preparation” had been done Upon my further scrutiny, I asked what that entailed and he said “preparation” meant that All sanding, scraping, spackle, caulking would be done, including a final wash of paint dust from the house would finalize the first 50% NONE of these had been completed, and I told him on the day he walked off the job Further evidence of K [redacted] ’s breech of contract can be shown by simple evidence from materials purchased and used by the new contractor who actually completed the work; using approximately tubes of caulking, and large can of spackle, two rolls of plastic, two rolls of blocking paper, rolls of masking tape, rolls of blue tape, and more! K [redacted] , had and has nothing to show, neither by agreed upon material or receipt.The new contractor also had to repair much of K [redacted] ’s work either due to it being incomplete or incompetently done, along with other damage he caused that I previously mentioned in my original complaint These additional costs are close if not already exceeded K [redacted] ’s original asking price, and he will be liable for most al of it if this situation proceeds to court.MrK [redacted] either misunderstood when he spoke with Oregon Contractors Board regarding what “50% complete” - or he’s lying When I spoke with the same representative of the Contractors Board, they recognized there’s a breech of contract on MrK [redacted] ’s part because, First: there’s no clear definition of what 50% is, and Second, even by K [redacted] ’s own verbal definition of what entailed “all prep work done” - he failed to complete all preparation.The fact of the matter is, in this situation it was not up to MrK [redacted] ’s discretion as to when 50% was completed Regardless of what K [redacted] “thinks” or says regarding 50% - it’s a moot point This is a contractual issue, and there’s no specifics in the contract It’s not up to K [redacted] ’s discretion after the fact; the appropriate time for K [redacted] ’s “discretion” to be applied was at the time he wrote his own contract.Further on contract — is what’s NOT on contact There’s absolutely no supplies or any materials listed nor accounted for and is disputed There is some kind of $amount listed, but absolutely nothing shows with it, not any products, material names, nothing, and there for is null and will not be counted Furthermore to this point is MrK [redacted] ’s own contract, whereas states: that “IF” any products are needed to be purchased, it must be done IN WRITING, and AGREED upon He presented a price for the job to be done, and anything beyond that is null Even if he claims items purchased, he can’t account for any of his own claimed materials, and can’t contradict actual product and materials shown to purchased and used by the new contractor, of which we have real, accountable receipts, including all the finished, discarded product has been kept as evidence to show There is nothing to be paid to for fictitious materials There are however, as stated, materials and services that had to be purchased due to MrK [redacted] ’s damage and negligence.MrK [redacted] ’s incompetent work did in fact result in damage, NOT to our sidewalk, but to the concrete base of our front stairway when he recklessly used his power washer He knows this, said he would fix it, and in fact, he had concrete mix on site for nearly the entire duration he was here If he would like to dispute this, I can provide photographs showing his concrete supply on site While spaying he further damaged a door matt, completely spaying off the sand texture, also flooded our kitchen by spraying directly into seam around the outside door, flooded basement areas by also spaying directly into seams of basement windows Later, flooding resulted in our basement due to his negligence, leaving off gutter down spouts he had removed, but did not put back when he abandoned the job The services and product for damage he caused are all also accountable for by receipt.It’s also now come to our attention that although MrK [redacted] has a general contractors license in Oregon, he’s not licensed nor insured to have an employee, nor work with hazardous materials K [redacted] told us he would be the only one working on our house but early in the job he hired someone, jeopardizing This has become known since the Oregon Contractors Board became involved.Upon further research due to this issue, we have found MrK [redacted] neglected to do sample tests required by all certified contractors Furthermore, it’s come to our attention that MrK [redacted] is not certified in lead paint handling, nor handled nor disposed properly of potentially lead based materials He also illegally employed a person when he had no employee insurance as required by Oregon Contractors Board These things are being let known to the board and MrK [redacted] will be held responsible and liable for whatever actions the board takes against MrK [redacted] .To date, MrK [redacted] has not communicated with us, nor our attorney, nor has he provided any verifiable documentation of ANY sort, other than his original contract The last time we heard from MrK [redacted] was in a threatening toned email his wife wrote, August 31st, received September 3rd This is evident with both tracking numbers K [redacted] claims to have sent Nothing has ever been delivered or refused, and one actually was delivered to himself (see attached document showing delivery to Fairview, K [redacted] ’s address)Our attorney has also been in direct contact with K [redacted] , addressing all the issues we addressed with him, and offered K [redacted] the additional ability to communicate through him, but K [redacted] has either refused or ignored all offers to resolve this matter I can make these letters available to the Revdex.com as evidence if necessary.Our attempt to keep communications open shows we’ve had every good intention with this transaction and reach an amicably resolution MrK [redacted] has shown he’s had no intention to complete the job professionally, with quality, but rather provide Revdex.com with a exaggerated account.Please find (current) supporting documentation Will provide more later[redacted] ***SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS REDACTED BY Revdex.com***
Complaint: [redacted]
RE: CCB file#: [redacted]
Ultimately, a resolution was facilitated by an Oregon Construction Contractors Board mediator, not Mr K[redacted]. Essentially, the State's mediator agreed that All American Paint Company and David K[redacted] were in breach of contract, otherwise would have been different resolution.
Mr. K[redacted] would've ended with a deficit if this issue had to be arbitrated in court, and we would've had to deal with court proceedings. The mediator felt that for such a small amount it would be in the best interests of both parties to simply part ways with an agreed settlement, dismissing all previous contracts.
Proof of this resolution also could have simply been done by referring to the Construction Contractors Board file number, [redacted], but instead, Mr. K[redacted] illegitimately released confidential, state documentation to the Revdex.com that can normally only be obtained by making a request in writing, personally appearing to a specific Oregon state office.
Regardless if the Revdex.com publishes this confidential documentation or not, Mr. K[redacted]'s actions are irresponsible and reprehensible in handling confidential, state documentation and this is a continued example of his disregard of proper and legal procedures.
During this complaint process we discovered he not only did not do previous work he claimed, but is also not lead-based licensed. He also had an employee, but has no employee insurance, therefore jeopardizing our own homeowners insurance.
** CAUTION **
If considering this business - we seriously and strongly suggest thoroughly checking all actual referenced work, contractors license, bond and insurance.
We consider ourselves fortunate this issue is now closed but by only with the help of the CCB.

This is an accurate and detailed account refuting Mr. K[redacted]’s defamatory claims and slanderous accusations.Mr. K[redacted]’s response is more of opinion, exaggerations, lies, lacks specifics, and makes defamatory claims. Mr. K[redacted] and All American Painting, however, has an upcoming site inspection conducted by Oregon’s Contractor Board, and is currently being investigated for improper licensing and lack of insurance, and possible illegal actions, which may result in fines, and possible suspension of license.K[redacted]’s claims of a hostile environment are unfounded and untrue. It’s a farcical, outlandish claim when I personally made and served him iced espresso drinks, other times serving both him and his employee iced lemonade, iced limeade, and provided bottled water. We also went out of our way to purchase extra bee traps, and just in case, bee sting ointments, medicines and first aid products for the summer’s bees. Of course, none of this was required. NOT a hostile environment at all. Further example of a NON-hostile environment was when Mr. K[redacted] expressed interest in several variety of our yard plants we have, and I personally offered starter plants from each he asked about. We even gave Mr. K[redacted] a very, large supply of lavender from our garden worth well over $200, specifically, for his wife because he mentioned how much she enjoyed lavender. (none of which are we looking for compensation) I would suggest Mr. K[redacted] has either seriously confused us with someone else, or is fabricating a situation in attempts to better his position. Mr. K[redacted] gives NO examples how I was supposedly, “hostile.” If he continues with this language I will include a defamation lawsuit with the extra costs due his negligence. Simply put - it’s not true. Mr. K[redacted] gives NO examples because I was NEVER hostile. I NEVER asked K[redacted] to vacuum paint chips and dust. It was his OWN decision on how to clean up his waste. Mr. K[redacted]’s claim that I was demanding may extend only to when I had to tell him not to dump debris in the city recycle bin, and out of our bushes. I have photo evidence showing both, and will be supplying them to the contractors board, and also EPA if necessary. If test results turn out to be lead based, Mr. K[redacted] will be liable for not only improperly handling, but also illegally dumping toxic waste. Complaints? I have no idea except maybe the two brand new window air conditioner units he and his employee ruined by not covering them before sanding over them. They were filled with paint dust and stopped working. Otherwise I had to tell him and his employee not to smoke in the yard that was badly dry and because of the cedar wood siding, and when I discovered they were dumping paint debris in the yard. And I work from home, so, I’m going to be around the house. There were absolutely NO work delays, and if - they were caused by Mr. K[redacted]’s own tardiness, early departures, and long lunch breaks. Keeping a log of his work times, most times not to work until 9:30 - 9:45, taking usually 1 to 1 & ½ hour lunches, and on average - left by 4:30. The latest he worked was 5:10 one day, and 5:20 another (leaving site by those times) To date - Mr. K[redacted] has NOT finished his job, nor even the first 50% based on his own contract.A contractor is responsible for clean up and disposable of any waste, and we only asked what was required of him. Furthermore, if product is found to be toxic, steps are required and necessary for a contractor to do. As far as I know - Mr. K[redacted] didn’t even first perform testing procedures required by state and federal laws. We found out about these things after K[redacted] abandoned our job, while talking with a friend about the situation who’s a contractor.I asked that our very small, city mandated trash can not be used, but I never asked, let alone demand for K[redacted] to take any debris to his home. (see att email) I only asked to bag up debris instead of dumping it in the bushes between mine and my neighbor yard, as they had already been doing. I found he had also been dumping into the city’s recycle receptacle. I have photos of this. At that time I also had to ask for a second time, not to smoke in our yard, especially with our very dry grass, our cedar siding, all during the city of Portland’s ban on fires. I mentioned this all in email, which I’m including.It was K[redacted], himself who suggested using his shop vac to gather paint dust and chips. His employee previously mentioned they used a leaf blower in reverse. There’s even a garbage dump 2.1 miles from our house on Mr. K[redacted]’s direct route home. It’s absurd and ludicrous for a business, a grown man try to convince the Revdex.com that I forced Mr. K[redacted] to take debris to his own home. That was of his own accord.I never caused any work delays, nor can K[redacted] substantiate such false claims. He gave the Revdex.com no examples of such supposed delays, because there are none. IF there were any time issues it was due to K[redacted]’s own lackadaisical schedule. I kept a detailed calendared /time log of K[redacted]’s schedule summarized here: Most times, arriving between 9:30 to 9:50, some after 10am. He consistently took an hour to one and one-half hour lunches, then leaving around 4:15 - 4:30 (latest, only once 5:20) with an overall average 5 hours per day. On his last day, he took nearly 2 ½ - 3 hour lunch. These times mentioned don’t even account for the multitude of breaks and smoking breaks he and his employee took throughout each day. This what accounts for any delay of time. Otherwise, I only spoke with him at beginning, end of day or one of his many breaks he took.Mr. K[redacted]’s description and wording provided to the Revdex.com regarding myself on the job site is less than truthful and misleading. What Mr. K[redacted] refers to as “complaining” would be more accurately called - pointing out things he hadn’t done but promised to do. These conversations were not random or frequent, but as previously mentioned, normally at the beginning or end of the day or during one of his many breaks. Mr. K[redacted] also further fails to disclose to the Revdex.com, more importantly - the fact that I work from home.

If we had made payment when he demanded - we would have been contractually agreeing that we though he had completed 50%, which he had not. I personally spoke with him about this on his last day.K[redacted] feels he completed 50%, however, his own contract disputes his position. His contract doesn’t even provide an accurate description, perimeters, nor stipulates his claim of what 50% is. Oregon law lays any benefit of doubt to the non-contracting party (us) and meaning: it’s K[redacted]’s responsibility to have a clear and concise contract. The benefit of doubt is in our favor. As I said, K[redacted] is ambiguous with his claims and accusations.K[redacted] further contradicts even his spoken definition when he said 50% complete meant all “preparation” had been done. Upon my further scrutiny, I asked what that entailed and he said “preparation” meant that All sanding, scraping, spackle, caulking would be done, including a final wash of paint dust from the house would finalize the first 50%. NONE of these had been completed, and I told him on the day he walked off the job. Further evidence of K[redacted]’s breech of contract can be shown by simple evidence from materials purchased and used by the new contractor who actually completed the work; using approximately 15 tubes of caulking, and 1 large can of spackle, two rolls of plastic, two rolls of blocking paper, 4 rolls of masking tape, 2 rolls of blue tape, and more! K[redacted], had and has nothing to show, neither by agreed upon material or receipt.The new contractor also had to repair much of K[redacted]’s work either due to it being incomplete or incompetently done, along with other damage he caused that I previously mentioned in my original complaint. These additional costs are close if not already exceeded K[redacted]’s original asking price, and he will be liable for most al of it if this situation proceeds to court.Mr. K[redacted] either misunderstood when he spoke with Oregon Contractors Board regarding what “50% complete” - or he’s lying. When I spoke with the same representative of the Contractors Board, they recognized there’s a breech of contract on Mr. K[redacted]’s part because, First: there’s no clear definition of what 50% is, and Second, even by K[redacted]’s own verbal definition of what entailed “all prep work done” - he failed to complete all preparation.The fact of the matter is, in this situation it was not up to Mr. K[redacted]’s discretion as to when 50% was completed. Regardless of what K[redacted] “thinks” or says regarding 50% - it’s a moot point. This is a contractual issue, and there’s no specifics in the contract. It’s not up to K[redacted]’s discretion after the fact; the appropriate time for K[redacted]’s “discretion” to be applied was at the time he wrote his own contract.Further on contract — is what’s NOT on contact. There’s absolutely no supplies or any materials listed nor accounted for and is disputed. There is some kind of $130 amount listed, but absolutely nothing shows with it, not any products, material names, nothing, and there for is null and will not be counted. Furthermore to this point is Mr. K[redacted]’s own contract, whereas states: that “IF” any products are needed to be purchased, it must be done IN WRITING, and AGREED upon. He presented a price for the job to be done, and anything beyond that is null. Even if he claims items purchased, he can’t account for any of his own claimed materials, and can’t contradict actual product and materials shown to purchased and used by the new contractor, of which we have real, accountable receipts, including all the finished, discarded product has been kept as evidence to show. There is nothing to be paid to for fictitious materials. There are however, as stated, materials and services that had to be purchased due to Mr. K[redacted]’s damage and negligence.Mr. K[redacted]’s incompetent work did in fact result in damage, NOT to our sidewalk, but to the concrete base of our front stairway when he recklessly used his power washer. He knows this, said he would fix it, and in fact, he had concrete mix on site for nearly the entire duration he was here. If he would like to dispute this, I can provide photographs showing his concrete supply on site. While spaying he further damaged a door matt, completely spaying off the sand texture, also flooded our kitchen by spraying directly into seam around the outside door, flooded basement areas by also spaying directly into seams of basement windows. Later, flooding resulted in our basement due to his negligence, leaving off gutter down spouts he had removed, but did not put back when he abandoned the job. The services and product for damage he caused are all also accountable for by receipt.It’s also now come to our attention that although Mr. K[redacted] has a general contractors license in Oregon, he’s not licensed nor insured to have an employee, nor work with hazardous materials. K[redacted] told us he would be the only one working on our house but early in the job he hired someone, jeopardizing. This has become known since the Oregon Contractors Board became involved.Upon further research due to this issue, we have found Mr. K[redacted] neglected to do sample tests required by all certified contractors. Furthermore, it’s come to our attention that Mr. K[redacted] is not certified in lead paint handling, nor handled nor disposed properly of potentially lead based materials. He also illegally employed a person when he had no employee insurance as required by Oregon Contractors Board. These things are being let known to the board and Mr. K[redacted] will be held responsible and liable for whatever actions the board takes against Mr. K[redacted].To date, Mr. K[redacted] has not communicated with us, nor our attorney, nor has he provided any verifiable documentation of ANY sort, other than his original contract. The last time we heard from Mr. K[redacted] was in a threatening toned email his wife wrote, August 31st, received September 3rd. This is evident with both tracking numbers K[redacted] claims to have sent. Nothing has ever been delivered or refused, and one actually was delivered to himself. (see attached document showing delivery to Fairview, K[redacted]’s address)Our attorney has also been in direct contact with K[redacted], addressing all the issues we addressed with him, and offered K[redacted] the additional ability to communicate through him, but K[redacted] has either refused or ignored all offers to resolve this matter. I can make these letters available to the Revdex.com as evidence if necessary.Our attempt to keep communications open shows we’ve had every good intention with this transaction and reach an amicably resolution. Mr. K[redacted] has shown he’s had no intention to complete the job professionally, with quality, but rather provide Revdex.com with a exaggerated account.Please find (current) supporting documentation.

Default NoticeContract TerminationPayment DemandDear Revdex.com Representative,In regards to the complaint received from [redacted] we wish to submit our explanation and legal documents on behalf of All American Painting Corporation. As per the 5 day notice handed to Mr. [redacted] (customer) on 8/31/2015, [redacted] failed to make his 50% payment installment on August 28, 2015.When customer received his invoice for payment due via email that stated:August 28,2015Hello [redacted] and [redacted],Please be advised that the painting contract at [redacted], Portland, OR is 50% complete and payment is due.Please remit payment of $1615.02 for job continuation.For your reference, please find your invoice attached.Debra K[redacted]AH American PaintingxCorporationCustomer responded with a paranoid and threatening text as follows:"I didn't appreciate the passive / aggressive threat you had you wife send.You want to threaten us - do it yourself. I'm not going to address your threatening email after businesshours." Customer followed up with email on Monday in an attempt to bargain his payment down to the amount of $1000.00 and began fabricating issues. His numerous emails stated "I have hired someone to repair the sidewalk / concrete, and water damage caused due to caulking not being done. This offset will have to be addressed in your final invoicing."Mr. [redacted] also refused to pay for his sandpaper materials on 8/21/2015 as per our labor only contract.All materials were supplied by All American Painting Corporation and have not been reimbursed in the amount of $130.04.On August 31,2015 Mr. [redacted] was personally handed a 5 day default letter requesting payment in the amount of $1615.02 for 50% work completion.On September 5,2015 Mr. [redacted] was mailed our Contract Termination notice via United States Postal Service Certified Mail delivery Tracking Number: [redacted].On September 21,2015 Mr [redacted] was mailed our Payment Demand Letter via United States Postal Service Certified Mail delivery Tracking Number: [redacted].The documents are attached for your reference.Mr. [redacted] was extremely hostile during my 2 week duration at his residence. He made unreasonable demands such as waste could not be placed in his trash (yes, he expected me to take his sanded paint chip waste to my house) he accused me of damaging his sidewalk, he requested I vacuum up paint dust from sanding before the paint preparation was completed, he constantly wished to walk the job site and complain about tasks not being done when the area was not completed yet - causing numerous work delays. Nonetheless, I tried my very best to work around his hostility and incessant demands and finish the job. However, when Mr. [redacted] failed to pay at his 50% completion (which is closer to 60%) all work ended.I contacted the Oregon Construction Contractors Board via telephone for guidance regarding Mr. [redacted] and was assured that as a licensed, bonded contractor the determination of how much work is completed was at my discretion.It is the intention of All American Painting Corporation to place a lien on his property as well as take Mr. [redacted] to court to recover payments due on labor and materials. Unfortunately, Mr [redacted] has proven to be unrealistic, unreasonable, hostile, paranoid and motivated to have his home repairs completed in an unjustified and dishonest way. Because of the proceeding factors, All American Painting Corporation has found it impossible to engage in business of any type with Mr. [redacted]. Thank YouDavid K[redacted]All American Painting Corporation
