Taylor & Sons Painting & Decorating

Please be advised against hiring Curtis Taylor and his team - he does not stick to his word and the paint job was slapdash and poor.

I employed him to paint my house earlier this summer and we agreed a large sum for the total job. Work began, and as time went on, Curtis came back two additional times to say he needed more money. He assured me everything would be completed for this final amount, including snags. Naively I agreed.

He insisted on payment before finishing large sections of the house, and promised to return once the last bits of building work were finished. I paid up, only withholding £200 off the final total. When I reached out again to arrange for him to come back and do the pending areas as agreed, he suggested some dates. The day before he was due, he messaged to say he would need yet more money. I responded stating his previous agreement; he then blocked my number.

Subsequently I’ve had to bring in another decorator to complete the work and buy new paint as Curtis left dozens of cans of my expensive paint clumsily unsealed.

So be advised - Curtis Taylor is a cheat and the standard of work that he did manage to do was rough and unskilled. Most notably of all, his conduct was completely unprofessional and untrustworthy when he chose to abandon site.
