Three Guys Painting

He took my cash deposit and disappeared! I responded to Ray's ad (his real name is Peter) on Kijiji for a garage renovation (painting/drywall). He appeared professional in the beginning (website shows business is BBB accredited - not true) and requested a deposit to hold a spot for him to begin work the following Monday. When Monday came, no one showed up and I couldn't reach Ray. He finally returned my call a couple of days later saying he was just busy, but that was the last time I heard from him. Later research showed that he actually lives in Manitoba and comes to Calgary to 'visit his niece' and take cash deposits. I called the police but was told 'buyer beware' and apparently this happens a lot in Calgary/High River and they can't investigate each case. Lesson learned for me - hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else.

I hired Ray and his team to paint three bedrooms and a huge accent wall with a very tight deadline. They not only took the job but went for it with full enthusiasm. They were very honest about the whole process and flexible to satisfy all our needs. The final result turned out great and we were very satisfied.
