We hired Mario to paint our entire home which we had renovated from top to bottom with top of the line plaster mouldings, doors, handles, baseboards, trim and casings. He came recommended by a friend and thus we trusted that he would do a good job. He seemed very understanding and empathetic so we decided to give him the job. His price was in the same ball park as the other 2 quotes we got from other contractors. Mario himself actually was quite a good painter. But one of his workers named "Yako" was incredibly sloppy. I noticed lots of drip marks as well as streaks and missed spots. So I would point these areas out to both of them and they seemed quite bothered to fix them and sometimes went back to fix them, but most of the time didn't. One of the other factors was that Mario used the cheapest "Benjamin Moore" paint on the market which was actually meant for commercial areas. Now when we try to wipe the walls due to hand print marks, the paint comes off and leaves a mark on the wall. He continually kept asking for money as the job was being done which was kind of annoying. He ended up never finishing the job as he left to do another job and didn't come back...he did us a huge favour as we were very dissatisfied with the quality of work.
