Montoya Painting And Decorating, Painter in Washington, DC

Unbelievably bad customer service and work ethic. Christian did absolutely terrible work on my deck and when I had a problem with it he simply tells me that the deck was already in bad shape. However, the truth is that he told me that they would scrape most of the old paint off and it would look very good. After barely scraping the deck they stained it. Leaving many unscraped areas and many places that weren't even covered by stain! How do you run a painting company if you cant even fully cover a surface with paint?? He told me that the job would easily take all day, but it seemed as if the workers were rushing and it only took about 4 hours! Clearly sloppy work. He also told me that they would clean up the thousands of paint chips in my yard. When he didnt he said,"oh I told my guy to do it but he must not have done it." OBVIOUSLY SO DO IT!! So, before I could go and inspect the deck further I paid him. Once the deck dried I was able to see what a horrible job was done. After calling him close to ten times, I was finally able to get him out to show him how bad it was. He agreed and put down another extremely poorly laid coat on only the deck floor. This was the same day that he was supposed to pick up all the paint chips in the yard. I bet you can guess that nothing was done on that part. I am done trying to contact him because he clearly has no idea what hes doing. You can clearly see this if you talk to him. I am trying to prevent someone from spending lots of money on someone who is, simply put, a crook. Dont waste your money.
