floor molding

Jeff and his partner were terrible! Totally UNPROFESSIONAL. They show-up with ONLY a paint brush... no tape, drop-cloth or any other tools. Simple job; re-paint base-boards = same colour. What I got was an INCOMPLETE and VERY SLOOPY job. the corners were messy, paint on the floor, uneven lines and, MANY UNPAINTED spots across the entire job.
Called him back to touch-up, which he did. But, it was still INCOMPLETE. In the end, I finished the job myself and, REGRET hiring Beachcomber's painting! they were No better than a couple of high school kids doing summer work. If I had the inclination, I would have filed a Small Claims case, which I would have EASILY Won given the extant of their POOR workmanship. Don't be fooled by their price. Quality Work is NOT in their portfolio.

Hi Paul, we tried to deal with you coming back twice for a small job when leaving your home the second time you were extremely happy with the work. But your email three weeks later after coming back, requesting/demanding Money in your mailbox 25% of what the job costed you. With your threats and emails, Please let's go to small claims court. A judge will love to read your emails with threats and lies, with you incriminating yourself over and over again. So not professional on your end.

Exterior Paint Job

Things started out great - Jeff was responsive, promptly scheduled an in person consult for a quote, and left making us feeling good about hiring him for the job. He said that it would likely take 3-4 days for completion.

The day before he was set to start, we had windows replaced and stucco frames removed, and had flagged that we might need to delay the paint job until the stucco was repaired. He told us he could take care of this as an add-on.

By the end of day 3, the stucco was still untouched and the majority of the exterior area had still not painted. We needed the project to be completed before an event, but by the end of the second week, we could tell that this was not going to be possible. Timing was poorly managed, there was a lack of crew (most days it was just him) and yet every day we were told that he needed 1 more day to finish.

2 weeks in, we found another contractor that completed the stucco work within 24 hours as things still weren't looking good with Jeff. He had his "crew" show up to the house and say that they weren't comfortable with the height, on two separate occasions.

In the end, the project took 3 weeks and had still had many areas that needed to be touched up or missed. We decided to break ties, and complete the rest of the work ourselves. We did add on the garage from the original quote, but it's shocking that this would've required 2 additional weeks from the original estimate.

Took a long time to respond to this review Jack and Dianna. Wow after all the crap I went through on your job, how you saw we were short of staff but did anything we could to complete your job and that's what we did. It's so disrespectful to say that you actually finished. We will post a couple of pictures to show anyone the finished work.
Wow so let's really get down with your complaints cause we have a few issues we want to address too, the stucco part of the job was a surprise when we showed up. You asked if we could take care of the stucco around the windows we said we would try, but considering the stucco around the front window was on a step pitch we couldn't promise with being short of staff and lots of painting to do. Even made some calls everyone was busy and so were we painting your home. We saved you guys so much money it's not funny with using primmer considering the price of the paint you choose was $98.00 dollars a gallon. Jack and Diana, you have a rich taste for things you want but when it came down to paying for that you weren't so Rich. Jack I remember when your wife asked the last day, why isn't the paint here and what's up with a few touchups. Had to be honest your husband doesn't want to buy anymore paint, and because there wasn't anymore paint you shorted me $300 hundred dollars, and said you were not happy storming into your house. with the money we saved you guys with the primer you should be really happy with everything that was done. We were never offered to use a washroom or offered a bottle of water in the hottest days of the summer. We were at your home for 8 days with the extra scope of work with painting the garage, when it rains, we can't do any exterior painting and it doesn't count as a day we were there working. We were there on the 3rd week considering the first week we started on the Wednesday and couldn't work the Saturday considering it was your babies birthday party.

Paint exterior of house

Jeff reached out to me about this project, and was really interested in completing the work. This was nice to hear as we live in a semi, and the scope included painting the old aluminum siding on side of the house (in a narrow walkway).
It was a difficult situation... the ladder didn't have much space to maneuver and required 2 people to navigate for safety. Jeff took it on - no complaining.
As the project moved forward, I added more scope and he was very accommodating to take on the additional scope.
Once completed, there were touch-ups through-out and again, when I asked him to touch -up here and there, he was happy to accommodate.
Jeff and John were pleasant to work with, and the house looks GREAT!
Thank you Jeff for all of your hard work!!

We were back, you even called us again wanting more work but we were extremely busy and considering you were wanting the work completed over the nxt following week. So it was to short of notice, why haven't you revised your review as you said that was something you were going to do 4 months ago.

Painting 3 Bedrooms

Jeff helped us get our upstairs bedrooms freshened up after 20 years with new paint top to bottom. He was available the very next day and came back for several days to get it all completed. We chatted throughout the process and checked areas needing touch ups and Jeff was always agreeable to our requests. It was a lot of work in less than two weeks - at a very reasonable price. Thanks Jeff!

Drywall repair and painting

We had our water tank replaced and needed to find a contractor to repair the drywall; Jeff was referred to us. I contacted Jeff and he was very accommodating. He and his crew showed up as promised, the quote was very reasonable and the job was completed in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend Jeff.

Repair and paint front porch

Jeff is an extremely likeable guy who does his best to meet your structural, budgetary and esthetic requirements. In our case, he was excellent at making suggestions to enhance the project. He listened, paid attention to detail, worked quietly and encouraged dialogue as the project progressed. Jeff obviously loves what he does, loves the Beach and does a first-rate job. We are lining up projects and would recommend him to anyone.

We were extremely satisfied with the paint job on the exterior of our home by Jeff and his team at Beachcombers. They were thorough in their preparation of the surfaces and paid attention to the scope of work we requested. Jeff was extremely responsive to address any deficiencies we identified and attended to any items promptly. We would not hesitate to recommend Beachcombers.
