Deans professional painting

DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY! He took our deposit and continued to make excuses to start the job. He refuses to return our deposit even though he is the one that cancelled. After repeated attempts to ask for our deposit back, he has refused. After telling the truth about this situation on Facebook, he sent me back a very unprofessional response and has since blocked me. There are many reviews of this guy taking people's deposits. He said he bought supplies with the deposit which was untrue, I checked with both suppliers. These actions must be stopped.

Why do people get to take this review down. He promised to do a job and insisted he couldn't set a date until we gave him a deposit, against my better judgement we did. He never showed up every time he set a date. He constantly said he had this issue and that issue, excuse after excuse. He offered the deposit back but never did. He said he needed time and would we take so much a month which we agreed to and here we are without painting and money. He blocked me on Facebook because of the reviews, he doesn't respond to emails.

DO NOT HIRE! Takes deposit, no work, no refund. Before posting my negative comment On FaceBook I noted that there were many negative comments. Looks like there are a lot of other people in the same situation as me. Once I posted my negative comment detailing my experience I noted later that day that all the reviews in Facebook were removed - the reviews tab was gone.

I hired Deans Pride Painting to paint my new business location. I had 4 quotes, they were not the cheapest. He made me feel like he would do a meticulous job, he made many promises from removing the hardware on the doors to fixing the nail holes and imperfections in the walls, to the trim and more. Was supposed to use a specific grade of paint and the result was not at all as promised. For a job that was supposed to take 3-4 days, 10 days later I was left with this:
-one coat of paint and no primer in most places…primed and two coats was quoted. The old colour was showing through.
-They didn't prime doors so now the paint is peeling off
-They did not remove the handles.. in fact they left the tape on them and failed to hang the doors at all
-They oversprayed every door handle, my new open sign and the phone, not to mention how much is on the glass and floor
-trim facing was painted but not Sider of the trim
-There was wall colour all over the trim
-colour showing through new colour bc wasn't primed or two coats
-many wall imperfections were not fixed including simple nail holes
-the hinges were removed from the doors and thrown on top of the switch covers... breaking many of the switch covers
-the entrance wasn't painted at all
-the reception desk is sticky feeling bc no top clear coat applied
-There is paint in the drain of the brand new laundry sink installed
-An inferior grade of paint was used
-Walls we’re not sanded
-Some areas not painted at all

Overall it was a very unprofessional and messy job. I definitely do not recommend them to anyone needing a finished job. I was really disappointed with the final result. I held back $1400 of the $4200 quoted and ended up having to pay another painter $3100 to fix the mess I was left with.

Don’t waste your time or money on this company!!

I got Deans Professional Painting to update my door with a new colour. They came a few days after reaching out and painted the door in a couple of hours with Sherwin Williams Paint, we chose the colour and sent them the info. The door was painted with a brush and roller but you would swear it was sprayed because of how smooth the finish is.
I would highly recommend them.
