Eddie Padilla Painting, Reeds Spring MO

***READ THIS WARNING***

Overall, very unhappy with Eddie's service. Let me explain why.

-He is extremely attention deficit, (Probably one of the worst cases of ADHD Ive seen in my life) I found myself repeatedly (sometimes 6 or more times) having to repeat myself. Over and over. As he eventually took notes cause I noticed him struggling, he STILL wrote the information down WRONG. I mean, I was selecting what color to paint trim and walls and whatnot. Its not rocket science. That should have been a red flag.

-Probably one of the most arrogant individuals I have come across in many years. "Ive been a painter for 70 years" frequently came out of his mouth, meanwhile he yelled at his employees and (worse) if they used blue tape to mask necessary areas, and when it took one employee too long to cut in (it was a difficult area with a lot of trim) HE FIRED HIM.
I want to point out, this employee did wonderful work and no doubt he would have been faster if he was allowed to use tape and other methods.

-Absentee boss who shows up on a rare occasion and yells at his employees, in front of (us) the customers. Made my spouse extremely uncomfortable when I wasnt there, received a phone call from my spouse in panic regarding this issue. It wasnt once, it was nearly every time (on the rare occasion) he showed up over the course of our 2 or so week job.

-He cares more about the bottom dollar, or his "30% cut" as he told me than the customer or even his employees for that matter. He even had one of his employees fire another one, mind you, both started 2 weeks prior to my job and both were line level labor. You dont ask a line level employee to fire another one cause youre too scared or flat out disrespectful to call that employee in and do it yourself.

-He is probably one of the most expensive painters in the region, no doubt because he has others DO the painting and he tacks on another 30%.

-He drove recklessly on my property. I have a gravel driveway and he came flying down on the first day at an extremely high rate of speed, locking the brakes and damaging the driveway. I had to go out and rake it smooth again. Scared the life out of my spouse and young child. My spouse had to go reprimand Eddie on the first day, as I wasnt there at that time.

-HE DOESNT FINISH THE JOB AFTER YOU PAY HIM! There was work to be finished, and after multiple phone calls over weeks I gave up. Eddie, if youre reading this, you know who I am. Consider our business done. I gave you ample chances. I will finish the paint myself. You got paid before you finished and thats MY fault. This honest review is what you get in return.

They do very good work and g the extra mile to make sure things are done right
Thank you
