C.E.T. Painting Inc

I hired CET to paint and do some minor household repairs. At first I thought the paint job was done well, but after I found several garments that were hanging in a closet ruined with paint. I contracted Carlos to replace sliding closet doors. I was replacing them because they were too short, several inches from the floor. Instead of leveling the new doors to fit the closet, Carlos measured the old doors which were in the garage, which defeated the purpose of replacing the doors. He later offered to replace the doors again for an additional charge. Additional charge? Carlos hung a shelf in my laundry area too close to the washing machine making it impossible to open the washing machine. Prior to the paint job I told Carlos that he did not put in the contract to paint part of a small staircase. he said not to worry about it. When at the end of the job I reminded him to paint the stairs, he claimed that it was never mentioned but did it anyway. On the positive side, cleanup was very good, as was most of the paint job.
When I told Carlos of the things of which I was not satisfied, he said he was not feeling well when he was doing the job. This is not an excuse to do a poor job.

I have worked with Carlos and his team at CET Painting three times over the past 6 or 7 years. He has painted our house in Westchester and our apartment on the East Side of Manhattan twice. Carlos is just terrific. He always delivers exactly as promised. He not only does a wonderful job painting but he did beautiful baseboard and crown molding work for us as well as installing a pocket door. The work is great and the workmen are extremely neat. Carlos is always extremely competitive on price. I trust him to the point that I don’t ask for an estimate anymore. I know he will always do the best job at the best price. CET is the only painting firm I will ever use.
