signed a contract and agreed to pay the balance upon completion. He and his team rushed to get finished fast and did not do the necessary prep work on the wooden posts he painted, causing the paint not to adhere. See the attached photos, taken 1 week after they were painted. Also, he started the front of the property but stopped before finishing the job. For a week, he has continually stated he would finish the paint work - always having an excuse as to why he could not work that day. Today is a perfect paint day, 67 degrees, and he still has not showed up. When I spoke to him on the phone (I told him I was recording the call), he again stated he would not be out today. I told him, we would engage our lawyer if he did not finish the job. Rene's exact words were "do whatever you've got to do". Rene and his staff bought the wrong paint, even though the desired paint was emailed to him before the project started. They are now trying to charge us for the paint, due to their error. Can't even get them on the phone today. I've called numerous times, the office phone, Rene's cell phone and sent emails/texts. We've now engaged a lawyer.
