Ronald Dale Massey of Polk County, Florida was hired to repaint and do some minor repairs to our historic home in April 2015.  Before we signed the contract with Mr. Massey, the price went up $3000, due to the fact that he found that he would have to make more repairs, totalling $19,000; we agreed and signed the contract which stated that he would apply two coats of Super Paint from Sherwin Williams after he scraped and primed the house.  Included in the contract was a 5 year warranty for the paint

Mr. Massey said he completed the work on our home on May 7, 2015.  Ten days after he was paid, the house began to peel and bubble.  We immediately contacted him and he stated that he would come out, but that was not unusual for an older home to do this.  He did send a retired gentleman to correct some our issues, but since there were too many of them, he would be back after rainy season.  He has never shown back up to make any repairs to the job for which he was paid to perform

We contacted three other painting contractors and they stated that Mr. Massey had used a masonry primer on our wooden home leaving it without any top coating of any paint. This can be proven by the products he had left us with.  As this was causing potential damage to the home we had to hire someone else to come in and do the work that Mr. Massey was paid to do, at an additional cost to us

I would not recommend you hire Mr. Massey do to work on your home, either construction or painting, as he did not honor nor fulfil his contract.
