Kerry is a disaster. I am undergoing an extensive renovation project and I needed a reliable and skilled painter to paint approx 2200 sq.ft. After calling a number of companies, I hired Kerry because his availability matched my schedule and he seemed friendly and easy to get on with. Unfortunately, his painting skills are amateur at best, and sometimes outright ridiculous. He left blotchy patches all over the walls and ceilings, and did not tape anything. There is no method to his painting (i.e. ceilings first and work down) and he lacks attention to detail.
Whilst I acknowledge I had to deal with drywall and electrical issues, this has nothing to do with the quality of his painting throughout the rest of the house- which was atrocious.
Hire him at your own risk. In the end, I paid him off just to get him out of my house and to get professionals back in. He did not end our agreement, I did, and he in fact tried to beg to stay on the project.
I am literally amazed he makes a living doing this. Avoid at all costs. I'm pretty sure most of these other reviews are fake.
- Approximate cost of services:

We completely disagree with these remarks. Firstly, Chris, the home owner, misrepresented and misinformed us from the start. We have never seen such a disengaged individual attempting to renovate a partially financed house of this extent. He had a sub standard dry Waller who did not finish the project and Chris demanded us to continue with our services over unfinished drywall work, dry rot under many sills, incomplete installation of casings, splits and major deficiencies in many areas on the walls etc. Chris refused to monitor the build process to spec and would not give a straight answer other than he would deal with it, and did not. Secondly, he also had a electrician crew come onto the property and damage the painting work that was completed by punching holes in the walls and cutting numerous ceiling holes throughout the house running wires, and damaging the finished work. He demanded that we continue regardless, and his reason is he is trying to list the house before the market goes soft. Defects are riddled throughout this property and Chris would become confrontational at times over the telephone when trying to deal with this, and we ended our agreement with him on Saturday based on his behaviour, unprofessionalism and the extreme disorganization of this project. We wish him all the best. Customer Service & Support Team.
