TPG That Painter Guy LLC

We are here because my contract is to paint the ceilings, walls and add new hardware to existing doors and cabinet doors*** *** then added a scope to the project we never agreed onHe had all the trim (woodgrain) removed and added new MDF to partial existing woodgrainA incomplete and
inferior way of redoing all the trimCosting many more hours of prep work, labor and most of all time and more money.We discussed options but he would not pay a fair price to the new added scopeSo no change order was made or agreed uponMy contract we agreed on has nothing to do with any painting or labor of trimNext we lost weeks of work because he did a huge remodel inside including electrical and plumbing without any permitsL&I issued a STOP WORK order So all work was halted for weeks and I lost out on three weeks work.When we were able to return to the jobsite he then tried to force me to complete all work within days, demanding I hire employees or he would complain to you the Revdex.com and L&I and then take legal action against meI refuse to be terrorized in this way.I completed to exterior of the house (part of the origional scope) and now he tries to do this to meAll my craigslist adds and my website clearly state I am an independent contractor and do not have employeesHe is also the firs complaint I have ever gotten and it is in many waysI will attach a copy of our agreement for you to view.By the way my contact email for my business is ***@comcast.net, easily found on my website http://www.tpgthatpainterguy.com Craigslist adds*** *** ***Again all clearly stating who and what I am in great detail

[redacted] I REJECT THIS Response for the following reasons. You’re crazy. You need medication. You need therapy.You are not going to strong-arm me into paying you anything, as it has nothing to do with our contract. The reason I left the project is simple, it is not at a stage for me to complete it. Had you had someone complete the trim portion you added to the project I would be in there finishing the ceilings and walls as promised. The fact that you continue to try to make me accountable for your senseless babblings about adding this and that when you have ZERO PROOF that I am accountable for such things clearly shows your instability. I will again retort with the following.A: The lights are not in my contract. I will not be held accountable for imaginary things you create in your complaint. Show me where it states I am accountable for them.B: The TRIM was not in my contract, please read what you have attached. I was to clean all trim and doors and cabinets (pre-existing) with Murphy’s oil soap. You changed this scope of the project (noted in section C,) that I am not accountable for.C: You had a stop work order placed. I was forced to leave the project after finishing the exterior. This is the time you changed things adding the trim. You also did not contact me about it until the trim was all changed; we then discussed numbers to complete them. We did not come to suitable arrangements, as it would take me to much time to complete this portion of the job. We simply never agreed to a number for completion, you never once told me I had to return you any money, you simply needed to GET THIS PART OF THE PROJECT COMPLETED, I told you to contact me when the trim and doors was done. This is also the time you were still considering changing the front door.You then continued to call me and try to make me accountable for the trim project, threatening me if I did not comply you would make trouble for me, well here we are. Below are more retorts to your complaint....please keep in mind we WALKED THE JOB WHEN FINISHED AND YOU PAID ME BECAUSE YOU WERE SATISFIED. Now you’re adding/changing things.1a; I did not finish the deck because you needed to have someone fix the legs as they were not up to code. ONCE FINISHED I will paint them. I do not have to paint them twice just to satisfy your delusional nature. As I see in the photo they are exactly the same as I left them...still unfinished. I never agreed to fix them as you would not pay extra labor or materials to do so.2a; Front door, again you never got to me on replacing the door or not, (Noted in section C) it’s in my contract to paint it as it states, But I should not have to paint it twice if you’re going to change it and then come at me to paint it again. Also you paying another contractor to paint it for no reason other than you’re trying to compensate yourself for something it’s in my contract to finish. Its communication error had you stated you were keeping the door I would have painted it.3a; a missed hole? I was supposed to caulk... is no problem for me again you paid me in full for the exterior, hiring another contractor to fill the hole is not necessary all you need to do is communicate with me but your still not doing this.4a; Again a missed small piece of trim was missed that was my fault and I will be happy to finish that for you. Its part of my guarantee you fail to take into account. Trying to back charge me 1500.00 dollars for this is just outright insane. I will not pay once cent of it all you needed to do was comply, and then contact me per our contract.[redacted] is simply trying to strong arm me to comply and I will not comply to his tactics. Had he followed the project as needed none of this would be happening. The fact he is still trying to do so is not going to move my intentions of completing my part of the project.His ramblings and adding more things each time we retort is also getting old, I imagine next I will be accountable to mow the lawn, do the dishes and take out the garbage simply because he says I agreed to do so.That Painter Guy Gary C[redacted]
