Pride Custom Painting If you’re thinking about hiring this contractor, read on. I hired him to stain/seal my aging (now deceased) in-laws lakehouse. Took over one year (Spring ’15 to August ’16) to finally get to it. We paid 25% up front for materials, and promptly paid remainder within one week of being mailed an invoice. Here’s what I got: Stain was sprayed on, not brushed as a good quality job should have been- my fault for assuming. Most windows had stain splatters on glass and the aluminum clad trim. Outdoor light fixtures and receptacle cover showed splatters. About a 10x8 foot section on back of house did not get stained. Now that he’s been paid, he won’t answer phone calls or return emails. If you would like to see pictures, you can contact me. Neal: 612-382-5898
