Doug's So Cal Painting

Unfortunately can't give this contractor anything but 1. Hiring this painter became nothing but a nightmare. They were hired to do paint and texture in a master bath and also to install new floorboards. The texture work was maybe 5 of 10 stars. The pattern is inconsistent and honestly, I could have done much better myself. I don't have much free time so they were hired in the hopes that a professional job could be done quickly. Unfortunately it wasn't. I had to have them come back a few weeks after the work was done to fix a lot of the texture work that was just awful. The painting wasn't much better. When I hired them I made sure to focus on the fact that I needed all the lines to be straight. I needed my bathroom to look new since I was spending close to $20K on it. The lines around the floorboards and at the ceiling look like they barely used tape. Again, I could have taken time and done a better job without much real painting experience. Their prices were not cheap, but I feel the work they did was. To finish off what became a nightmare, their worker who installed my floorboards used long nails and punctured one of the copper pipes that transports the freon for my air conditioning. After a few weeks or back and forth, because Doug would not do the right and moral thing and pay for the damage his worker had caused, they eventually paid for half of the damage. So I am out $600 because of their incompetence. They claimed the home was built incorrectly and therefore the damage is the builders fault. But I spoke with 4 different contractors and they confirmed that this is the floorboard installers fault. Steer clear of this company. They'll put a few hundred dollars before making their customer happy and before doing the moral and correct thing and covering the damage their workers do to your home. The texture work was no better than 5 of 10 stars and the same with the painting. For the prices they charge, you're better off doing the work yourself or hiring someone cheaper. They were not worth the money and that was before they destroyed my air conditioning.
