Beware of Unethical And Unprofessional Painting Contractors

I received a call today from a lady who has engaged a painting contractor, and the painter (1 painter) came yesterday with a beer bottle, drinking, started work for a while then disappeared for a couple of hours. He then came back again around 3pm to continue painting. All this time this one painter has only finished painting the ceiling of ONE room only.

For your info, this lady is about to be married next week and that the house painting is to be completed by tomorrow, so that some of the renovation can be done on time. But all this has to be delayed because the painting contractor was not a professional. I felt sorry for this lady, so I offered to help because she was in a bad situation because of the unprofessional behavior of the painting contractor.

It is our company policy that we try NOT to take up painting jobs from other painting contractors who did not do a good job on the owner’s house. But she seemed quite desperate and is in the marriage period, so I tried my best to help her in any way. So I promised that I will get back to her in less than an hour after my discussion with my partner. My partner agreed to help, so I called her straight away to offer the help, but we need to view the house first, before we can start work but only on the very next day.

But the husband was not agreeable because they are running out of time and decided to stick to the unprofessional painting contractor.

I must say that a lot of painting contractors and renovation contractors in Singapore are quite unprofessional in their work. That is due to using of cheap painting services in Singapore. I can be sure that there is not much of quality and warranty given to the owners from the cheap painting contractors.

I am not sure if the lady is paying a cheap painting contractor… what I do know is that they are not very professional in their painting work.
