Interior Painting - amateurish execution of project

Based on my experience, despite other positive reviews on this website, I would not hire this company for another project. I believe they had good intentions but their execution left much to be desired.

I contracted Zeire Painting in June 2022and I waited to post this review after much consideration. I dealt with Andreka who was very pleasant, responsive and was meticulous in measuring each room where painting/resurfacing was required in order to provide a quote. She provided a very competitive quote for the job which was to repair surfaces to be painted and to paint numerous hallways and rooms throughout the house.
The project was troubled from the start as Andreka arrived at my home with 2 other individuals who were "trainees" by her own admission. This turned out to be a mistake as the trainees obviously had limited skills and initiative and had to be instructed how to do everything. This caused internal strife within the team and errors in the work. Andreka's estimate of a 5 day project turned into actual completion in 9 days. We later discovered that their experienced "A"-team were assigned to large project elsewhere.
They failed to protect surfaces that were to be covered properly resulting in paint splatter on floors, basement stairs, 1 carpet area, metal flashing on a closet and some wood trim some of which I only discovered after living with the results for 6 months.
Moreover, despite Andreka's meticulousness in measurements, they ran out of paint in certain areas as they didn't get the coverage they expected for which we had to pay extra.
Ultimately, we reduced the scope of their work in 1 area for which we received a discount, so as to get the project completed faster. Andreka decided to drop the trainees and do the work on her own as she was totally frustrated with having to manage the newbies.

On a positive note, they do provide a 5-year touch up warranty where they will come back a make good on items that need attention.

Approximate cost of services:
