I contracted Robert Cantu in San Antonio to do a considerable amount of interior painting, replace some boards around 5 windows, and repair grout, and clean carpets. He is very convincing and say he will get it all taken care of. I am very cautious when I hire a cotractor and I am very surprised I got ripped off by him.
The total job was $8000 so we paid hime $2000 for materials to start the outside of the home. One completed we paid him $2000 to start the inside of the home. He said he need to buy materials, paint and would have his crew start that weekend.
When I visited the site there was a 5 gallon container of paint, a ladder, a tarp, a roller and paint tray. He purchased the wrong paint color and brand. When I asked him about this he said what does it matter it looks better than before. He painted one coat in four rooms and did not even cut in or do the baseboards and is now saying he needs more money to complete the job! I have asked him what he spent the $4000 on and he does not answer and says I am being difficult.
I just want to make people aware so Robert Cantu can not keep taking advantage of people. He is a good talker and I think he either thinks I am stupid or is a sociopath.

After I sent Robert Cantu an email and text requesting the money back or finish the job, he accused me of harrasment. He told me I would regret my actions for posting about him online. I just wanted him to do a job he was paid to do. I am sorry if Robert feels that is unreasonable. Beware of his emails (copy below) that say how great his services are and that his work is guaranteed. He is a good con man so please do not give him any money.
