"I have never written a review before but I feel obligated to do so for justice and also to save other people from the heartache that I went through dealing with Chris, let alone my lifesaving that I have paid him for an unfinished paint job on my house. The job started more than 6 months ago, we had an initial quote in fine details but was later changed without my permission, because Chris managed to talk my husband (in his late 70s) into it. The scope was much reduced without reducing the… price. My husband sympathized with him because of his health issues and his family member suffering from depression. Even with my husband's old age, he helped him with the scaffolding outside the house, hauling the heavy steel work as shown in the picture. He also helped remove/install all the kitchen cabinet hinges along with him. My husband was literally working for him for free because he treated him as a friend. He even convinced my husband to pay him in cash to save on transaction fees, which in hindsight is a red flag for dishonest business practices. Half way into the job, he would not show up most days or maybe just for 2 to 3 hours. I wonder whether he was only showing up to take breaks in my dining room drinking my coffee. What should have been a 3 month job dragged into 6 months, my job is still not done and my husband has already paid him in full. I tried very hard to get him back to finish the job but all I got was rude responses along with cutting me off the line. Nowadays he never picks up my calls. I do not think he will ever come back to finish the job even though we have paid him in full. What hurt us the most is how can someone be so unethical and uncompassionate to a couple in their late 70s. We went above and beyond in treating Chris and helping him along the way even though we were his clients. I had a lot of heartache and wasted my life savings in dealing with Chris and I hope this review can save others from this appalling experience."
"Chris recently completed an external house painting job for me. The preparation and painting undertaken by Chris was of a very high standard. Chris communicated well with both myself and my tenant keeping us informed of his work plan and timings ensuring minimum disruption. I would not hesitate in recommending Chris to anyone wanting a professional paint job undertaken."
"We recently had our house painted by Chris Campbell. He was referred to us by our friends who had their house painted by House Painter. Well what a great referral this turned out to be. Chris spent considerable time preparing the house for painting and as well as waterblasting he completed minor repairs and informed us of his progress and offered positive recommendations. He was fastidious and extremely fussy. We had never seen a contractor who was so passionate with his craft. Often see him… with his legs up in the air getting into the various nooks and crannies. No spot missed!
We highly recommend Chris. His workmanship is of the highest quality. He is very tidy and leaves the premises rubbish free after each day. He even cleaned a few windows after the job was finished. He turned up every day and at about the same time. Some days he would have a helper and this gentleman was also a very good painter and could turn his hands to small repairs.
Chris is well resourced with professional equipment including scaffolding. He made sure that the correctly specified paints were used. No cheap stuff used.
If you are looking for a professional painter of good character you would be wise to consider Chris Campbell. You will not regret this choice."
