Business ProfileforDaniel's Professional Painting, LLC

On September 10,2021, I hired Daniel to remove wallpaper from 5 areas, as well as popcorn ceilings from 5 areas. He informed me he didn't have a drivers license because of a DUI. My husband asked him if getting to our house was going to be an issue, he said no because because he rides with his crew. I asked if he was licensed, and insured he said yes. I asked to see those and he presented me with what he said was his license and insurance. Those documents had nothing to do with with his license or insurance. I should have investigated before hand, my mistake. On Oct 18,2021, I had him escorted off my property by the police. The job was supposed to take a week to ten day to complete. On October 18th was the start of the 5th week. In that time he made it to my house 11 times. He never had a crew to speak of. On one occasion he had a women accompany him 2 times, on another an man for 2 days. I drew up a contract as he would not. The agreed charge was $6317.50. half down at the start, the other upon completion. He constantly was asking me for more money for one reason or another. Half down was $3158.75, at week 4 I had paid him $4800.00. He destroyed my house, with paint, compound, over my floors, baseboards and carpet.. He took a rotary sander to my woodwork trying to remove paint, and compound, destroying my woodwork. He was all over the place never completing a task. On October 18th he wanted to start in the bathroom, while the other areas weren't even close to being finished. At that point I asked him to finish what he had started and he became very confrontational. I told him it wasn't open for discussion. He angrily said he will do it his way. I asked him to respect my wishes. He said I wasn't his boss and he would do it his way. I explained I was his boss, as I'm the one paying him, and it was my house, I then called the police. I have since had to hire another painter costing me another $4800. I need to know what my resources are.
