ti-source Inc., Carpenter in BRENTWOOD, CA

The contractor showed up and gave us a bid on the work. He subcontracted the crown installation and moulding to different subcontractors. The crown subcontractor installed it. Then, the first painter started but quit because it was too much work and he decided he wanted more money from the contractor. A few more painters showed up on different days and said the job was too big for what they were being paid. Finally a painter agreed to do it but was not experienced at puttying crown joints/seams. He didn't do a good job. The contractor tried to get another painter, but nobody was available. He even tried Redbeacon, but nobody called him back. After the crown subcontractor and the contractor explained how to do putty on crown, the painter who did the work had to re-do the putty and painting to better hide the joints/seams where the crown moulding met. We got the bid on 9/10/12 and was told it would take about 3 days. The work was finally finished on 10/10/12. In the end, the crown turned out nice with a few blemishes. The contractor worked very hard to get experienced painters out here, so it was not entirely his fault. He made sure we were happy before collecting the rest of the money. We rated him 4 stars. The price was appropriate, the work was eventually done well. Having had contractors before, we knew the work would not be done in 3 days and we knew we would have to have them fix some of the work. We knew exactly what we were getting into, so 4 stars seems appropriate.
