Emerald City Fine Painting & Construction

Eric Price, owner of Emerald City Fine Painting & Construction, was hired to stain the woodwork around 6 new windows. One of the reasons for hiring a professional was to ensure that all the nail holes were filled, and everything was properly sanded so the filler would not leave white spots in the finish. We also wanted expertise in choosing the appropriate stain and finishing coat as these windows were to be the center piece in our kitchen/​eating area. These reasons were explained to Eric when he visited our home to give us and estimate. Eric told us he would personally do the job and it would be meeting all our expectations.
We terminated Eric from the job on the second day after he applied the first coat of stain. All the nail holes and the wood filler was visible through the stain, the initial coat of stain was applied so thick it developed runs and dried and the thick coat made the color much darker than all the woodwork it was supposed to match. In the final conversation with Eric he admitted that he had very little experience with stains and he agreed to refund our down payment. We have never seen the refund even after several calls to Eric and his promise to send the money the next day.
Don’t hire this individual to satisfy you painting needs. He is unskilled and unprofessional. He talks a good game but doesn’t deliver and his guarantee and promises are worthless.
