Garage Door

You get what you pay for! Awful paint job. Wilfred dropped off his brother-in-law/apprentice who was learning how to paint and took off. There was excuse after excuse as to why Wilfred couldn't be there. My impression is that he had another job to go and left his apprentice in training to do the 'easy job'. The door frame was not painted the same colour as the door as requested (was left in the old white paint). When I pointed it out, the apprentice painted the door frame, but failed to paint all the way down so you could see a chunk of white paint sticking out at the bottom. There was no taping or draping. Paint drops all over the concrete floor, porch and on top of the decorative column. The garage door was not sanded down prior to painting and the old paint that was already peeling was painted over so the end result did not have a smooth finish. His apprentice asked me for my wi-fi password, sorry but I don't even know you! He asked to use my washroom, ok no problem at all with that but at least have the decency to wear a mask in my home as this was in the summer of 2020 during Covid before vaccines were available. When Wilfred finally came to pick up his apprentice approximately 6 hours later for a 2 hour job, I showed him the paint stains and he said it will come off eventually from the rain? I showed him the paint sticking out of the bottom of the door frame and fixed that. I was told not to open the garage door for 24 hours so the paint can dry. When I opened it the next day, a whole bunch of paint ripped off damaging my wooden door. Why? Because the unsupervised apprentice painted the door while it was closed! Will never use nor recommend this company again.

Service Undelivered

After signing a contract with this company and sending my deposit ($600), the service was never delivered. They consistently had reasons for not showing up and inevitability they never came. I was not refunded my deposit and am now out $600. Beware of using this service.

Exterior house painting

We hired Wilfreds Painting service to paint the exterior of our 2 story 2250 sq ft house which took about 3.5 weeks to complete.
This is a tough review to write and needs to be split into positive and negative.

The positive:
Reasonably priced. Nice, personable guys who try to please. More than willing to go back and try to right mistakes.

The negative:
irregular and sporadic hours, different staff every day, 7 people in total and some were obviously scared of heights, inefficient, unorganized, poorly planned, messy, lots of mistakes such as; overspray onto decks, foundation, windows, trim, sidewalks etc.. Sometimes when going back to fix one item something else would suffer. Requires lots of oversight.

Summary:

The job eventually got finished at a reasonable price. However, we need to do some touch ups on our own (our choice as he would have kept going). I do believe this was a bigger and different type of job then they are used doing. They may be a better fit for smaller interior painting projects as per some of the other reviews.
