I hired Robert Temple in August, 2015, to paint and install a front door. He had done window washing and deck staining before when I lived in Pinckney. He did a fairly good job then. My last contact with him in August, 2015, was a disaster. He did not do a good job at painting the door. There was roller fuzz on the door and the paint job was bumpy. The door was difficult to open after. It was covered with too much paint. I told him he bought the wrong kind of door knob and the trim had to be white, not black, because I live in a condo complex that requires specifications. He kept painting it black and yelling at me that I was not paying him to go get materials. If he can’t remember what the knob, what the front and back and trim of the old door looked like, he should have taken a picture and written some notes when he wrote up the estimate. My old door was painted white before on the back which was inside the house. He also painted that black. That paint job had fuzz and bumps on it. He was supposed to powerwash and paint my egress window area. That was written on the estimate. He told me he was not power washing it. They would just be painting it. He was very hostile toward me. I did not say another word because I was quite afraid of him. I asked one of his workers what was wrong with him. He just shrugged his shoulders. I simply went inside the house, wrote a check for what he asked me to write it for, but didn’t deserve, and told him to leave. I was happy to get him out of my house. I told him I would not be needing his services to finish the other projects I hired him for. He, in a manner of speaking, stole money from me. But I was not going to argue with him. I would not hire him. Buyer beware!
