Flat and Shiny Painting LLC

Beware!!!!! Mark took $3k to paint my house and we agreed he would start painting it in July. However, I haven't heard from him since and I can not get in contact with him through the business phone or office. I will be taking him to small claims court and making a police report. I will update you as I go along. Service: Exterior painting

We worked with Mark (owner) and Jake (painter) during our interior painting process (four rooms, ceilings, trim). Mark was extremely helpful and kind. I am a busy mom of two in the midst of a move and he made everything very simple and stress free. They were able to get our job finished quickly and Jake was a very detail oriented painter who clearly cared about his work. Flat and Shiny did great work for us and we would definitely use them in the future. Service: Interior painting

Update: I have not been able to reach the owner for weeks again. My calls go straight to voicemail. I have been paid back $500 of the $1900 refund agreed upon. Previous post: The companys Facebook page where a group of us shared how we felt scammed has been deleted. After he agreed to pay back my $1900 deposit, he kept putting off when so I offered installments, the first payment just 10% or $190. He said he needed a couple weeks to get it and after I messaged him a couple times after those weeks past... he asks for another couple weeks. How would he have paid a crew to do my job if he didnt even have 10% of my deposit left prior to doing ANY work? A legitimate business would take out a loan to pay their debts (including my deposit) rather than spend deposits leaving no funding for actually completing jobs those deposits are for... those funds are also must be separated from the owners personal funds for LLC purposes. However, the owner could also lend the company money with little paperwork. Yet here I am because $190 could not be afforded by the company. The reasons he used for not doing the job in the agreed original time was that COVID made him behind but he originally agreed to do the work in a couple weeks in AUGUST 2020, when COVID would not cause any surprises. He also said the weather turned too cold but that happened only after the originally agreed upon time. His excuse for not originally contacting me was a personal emergency made him leave town. His excuse this week about paying me back the 10% was he totaled his car. He is trying to say he had some quotes this week so he may be collecting deposit $ and can pay the $190, but then will he have the funds to actually do those jobs he gets deposits for? I was suspicious that he was collecting deposits with no intentions of completing the jobs (that would be fraud, not protected by LCC) and considering there was no funding left to complete my job, my suspensions continue. I am not the only one this has happened to and I have screen shots from the now deleted company Facebook group of others who had deposits taken and no work done if you contact me. Previous version of review: Took deposit to do job with an estimate that it would be done in a few weeks... but then did not hear from him and could not reach him for a couple months (calls went straight to voicemail). He called me back and agreed to give me my deposit back but keeps pushing the date. He took my deposit in August 2020, If this review is still posted, it has still not been resolved.
