This contractor had done interior work for me in 2012 as a sub contractor. Work then was average to good. I hired him again as an individual to do exterior painting. I had requested he start another day because I wouldn't be available to watch their work. He insisted they had to come that day due to previous jobs scheduled, but would only be doing prep work. When I viewed the workmanship at 4 o'clock, I found that they had scraped some of the woodwork without putting down any dropcloths. There are old paint remnants and trash, which they left behind, in every flower bed around the entire house.They had tried to bondo and caulk all the allegatored paint they couldn't get off with the powerwasher. Never did I see any remnants or evidence of anything sanded. They had applied paint with a sprayer and masked very little so there is overspray everywhere.They replaced a garage entry door and didn't plumb the unit on any side. The threshold doesn't sit on the slab, and all the existing trim mouldings were hammered in with way too many nails sporadically placed and the wrong type of nails were used. Nor did they put the trim back correctly leaving gaps on one side. I am going to have to hire another contractor to fix this mess. I called Miguel Hernandez the next day and told him to bring me a bill for what had been completed. I told him I would be using another contractor to complete the job. The bill was outrageous for the bad workmanship, although about half of what was agreed upon for completeion. He used the cheapest Sherwin Williams paint they make and most likely its been watered down becasue I can see spots on all the soffits where coverage is lacking or not consistant. He then got angry with me, even though he was fired for doing a rotten job, because I gave the work to someone else. Don't use this guy. In hind sight, I would have put a hold on my check, but he cashed it that today.
