I got my condo interior painted before I moved in. The lady who lived there before me had a pretty strong coffee on the walls, and I wanted an off-white.
I get the painter in, we decide on colours. I insist on a single coat, he thinks I'll need two.
After an hour, he comes to me and says the original color is showing through. I go look, and I see this wall which is basically mottled brown/white. I ask when he's going to finish the coat, and he says he has. I argue a single coat would actually cover 100% of the area.
Long story short, I end up having to pay an extra 30% to get the second coat. I then report him to the BBB, and I discover a short while later he was terminated by his superiors in the business.
Never got my money back.--
