Complaint Review: Dustin Lee Johnson

Dustin came over and said he’d fix the small spot in 2 days. He had me sign a contact and asked for 150. down. Then he needed 150. for supplies. The 2nd day he brought a friend and asked me to pay the balance so he could pay her. I paid because I trusted he was going to complete the job. My fault. Live and learn. They took everything off our walls and haphazardly painted the ceiling, missing huge spots around the lights and when we finally removed his mess of plastic, etc we saw that he had spilled kills ceiling paint on our wood table, dripped down the walls, on our wood floors, a newly enameled fireplace mantel, trim, my grandma’s antique china cabinet, etc. He washed his head in our sink every day and left puddles of water everywhere. He came over for small periods of time, making the small spot bigger each day, saying he’d fix it 'tomorrow '. Some days he just didn’t show up. One day he pocket dialed me and I heard him telling someone he 'had to go to Burnsville tomorrow and spray real quick and get the hell out of there...then he said he was supposed to go today but had to bullshit his way out of it again. We finally asked him to leave and give a refund. He said he’d send a refund. He left his old ladder here and I’ve been asking him to pick it up and give me my refund for over 30 Days. He says he’ll come but he never shows up. We had to pay double what we would have to have the ceiling fixed by a reputable drywall person. He took 2 days and didn’t leave any mess. He did say that Dustin created a huge mess for him to fix. After doing research I found that he has many many judgments against him, a felony for domestic abuse and has done the same thing to other unsuspecting homeowners. I’m sorry I didn’t check him out before hiring him.
