Lakeland Painting

I hired this company back in June to paint the exterior of my home they showed up gave a price we pay them and said they could start immediately. Immediately turned into weeks and weeks and weeks. They came and painted a small 6 foot section so I can see the color and left out on my house for months never came back never did anything after arguing with them I got a full refund. Fast forward to September it has been months someone else has already paid in my house Roger Bradley from this company started texting my husband that I left a bad Google review and if I didn’t take it down we would regret it. He said Google told him it was me and my house . I did not leave a Google review then but I am now these guys are very unprofessional they are not nice people and they are thieves. His language and racial slurs are an embarrassment. He’s going to sue us because I supposedly left a bad review I am leaving a review of the work that was done by them and the job they did he refunded my money and he admitted to that but the work they did and their communication was still beyond terrible. If anyone hires this company you were supporting someone who is racist unprofessional and a liar. I recommend reading all reviews before you hire them I’m not the first person that has posted this. Now Roger Bradley if you want to get Mad at A review get mad over this one I did post this one and I will not be taking it down. Google can investigate it all they want I will attach pictures of text messages and the job you did. A professional should not make threats to someone if you get a bad review you have a chance to retaliate to that review where you’ve made it right or to reconcile things where is the review that you have proof of that I made I’d like to see that in the meantime please stop texting me please stop texting my husband and quit making threats because it will not end well in your favor this review is on the job you did you paid a 6 foot section your communication was terrible. And months later you were still harassing us I wouldn’t hire you to do any job and I don’t think anyone else should either. Attached below are some of the text that he sent my husband be the judge for yourself.if Leaving a bad review as grounds to sue I can’t imagine what grounds I have for your blatant threats and harassment

I hired this local family painting company with great reviews (turned out to be many of them were fake/family/friend reviews of non existent work). Rick Bradley came out and gave us a quote of $1800. I paid a deposit of $900 cash on 4/15/2021 to Ricky Bradley and Jimmy Smith. (I initially wrote them a check, but was told by Ricky they weren't able to cash it and I needed to take out cash for him) 5/11/2021 Mike claims it's going to rain, so he's not working today 5/12/2021 Mike works for about an hour, tells us he has an emergency with his wife and leaves. 5/13/2021 Mike returns, works for about 45 minutes on the SAME WALL then leaves with no word to us 5/15/2021 Jimmy and Karla come and start painting 5/17/2021 Absolutely terrible quality and we bring these concerns to Ricky and Jimmy who immediately become defensive and threaten to cease work because we're "nit picking" My husband and I go back and forth all day when both Jimmy and Rick both come out to see the work, and agree it looks terrible, there were streaks and patches, paints on our soffits and window sills. We documented by taking pictures and saving all communications with these scam artists. jimmy and rick claim they're going to get more paint, and that it won't be ready until evening and they'd be back the following day. 5/18/2021 Receive a text message that it might rain today so they're going to keep an eye on the sky. As there was no rain in the forecast and my house was receiving ample about of sunshine with no signs of rain anywhere I asked that they please finish up the job as soon as possible. In which they responded " We know what we're doing we've been painting for years do you think we're trying to get out of painting your house??? That's what you're implying??? Iv'e just about had it " on top of the many other red flags this was the final indication that we were getting scammed and working with very shady people. We agreed to cease work but requested an itemized receipt of where the deposit was applied, etc of course they don't provide that . currently reporting them everywhere I can to get them back in jail. oh yeah we discovered after the fact they're all convicts.

BEWARE of Richard Eugene Bradley who holds himself out as a qualified, licensed and insured painting contractor. He is not nor is he licensed or carry WC insurance. As with every victim, including myself, he demands upfront money. He then whines and complains and finds excuses as to why he can't finish; he takes off. Richard Eugene Bradley goes by many entities. Every single bad review is consistent and every good review is fake. Do not hire him without first reviewing all BBB and internet-related aliases, reviews and complaints.
