Judon’s Custom Painting LLC

I was all set to give them a 5… until the last half a day. I bought 2 Groupons and waited two weeks to get my pre-​paid for appointment (1 set for one house 2^nd set for another). #1 was scheduled for a Thurs-​Fri two weeks later and house #2 the third Thurs-​Fri. I got a call from Jimmy on Mon-​Tues of the Thurs before House #1 was to be completed putting me off another week (now we’re in week 3). I had two potential buyers come by that weekend to see house #1. They went with the other house on my block because of my ugly brown paint (that I had scheduled to be done)!
Finally my long-​awaited for Thursday came and Jimmy showed up with two men promptly at 7:00 and gave me the trip charge, charge for baseboards, and for an extra room. It was VERY fair. The men did a good job… maybe an 8 – 9 and cleaned up well. They had to schedule my 2^nd house for Saturday (I had told Jimmy I’d need 4 full days — two for each house). He did not come out to give the men direction for house #2 on Saturday or give me the price of things the groupon didn’t cover (I had high ceilings in both houses and needed an extra room done, wall paper removed from one small wall, etc.)
He finally came out Monday around Noon to quote prices on #2 (again reasonable) but his men were upset that he hadn’t shown up either morning to give them direction. Plus the men had some conflicts with my handyman. I heard the main painter outside arguing on the phone with Jimmy about pay and they complained loudly to me. The men disappeared Mon around 12:30 for two hours (they said they were taking a 20 minute lunch break even though they’d already went and got sandwiches). Then they got back at 2:30ish and left by 3:30 with the RR undone and wallpaper stuck on the tub and counters (from the removal) of my bathroom. The baseboards were done poorly, paint dripping was all over the tub, counters and floors and 2^nd coat was never completed.
Jimmy told me that he’d come finish the job — said I was getting the «best of the best.» Because I wanted a slight color alteration (lighter) in the RR, he told me there would be a charge and a small charge for one other wall. Once the paint had dried, I realized that Jimmy had not cut in the new color or cleaned up the wall paper and paint drippings from his men. He also didn’t redo the messy baseboards. My handymen and I were shocked by Jimmy’s paint job (drips, no cutting in, unfinished baseboards). Then Jimmy called and asked me to have my handymen bring him his forgotten ladder??? What?
Botton line… Groupons appear to be LAST priority for timing and you’ll be paying weeks before you get the work. They may also send you new, untested employees (my two workers told me I was their first project with Jimmy). You can save half or more over what the «professionals» charge, but it might cost you more than you think.

I hired Judon to paint the exterior of my house in central Phoenix. Despite challenges with unusual rains in town, the company did an excellent job of painting the house. I found Jimmie to be very professional, responsive and responsible.

Jimmie just finished painting my home. I couldn’t wait to Unilocal about him. My house looks better than new! Awesome work and at a fair price. Judon’s Painting is by far my first choice when I need painting!

We had a groupon to use these guys. I originally tried calling Judon or Jimmy (never sure because he mumbles if he says anything when he answers (if they answer the phone) and he mumbled some reply that he was on a job and would call me back. After he didn’t call back, I called again and he told me to call his assistant. I called back again, spoke with her and scheduled a time for them to come paint. We had to reschedule because I had to have emergency surgery (hamstring reattachment) and couldn’t move items off the wall, move furniture etc. and rescheduled for Thursday May 9^th at 9 am. 9 am came and went and we called Judon/​Jimmy to see where he was. He mumbled that he sent an email that he needed to reschedule. a) He absolutely never sent an email, in fact, I don’t think they ever even asked for my email address. b) don’t send a reschedule/​cancellation notice via email anyway. Have the professional cutesy to call us. 3) I spent all Wednesday night on crutches trying to maneuver around to help my wife get all our items off the walls and all our furniture into the middle of the rooms. We already had agreed that I would need to pay more because we have 20 foot ceilings in our great room, so as you can imagine, it was no easy task to get everything down and moved while on crutches. c) Judon/​Jimmy mumbled that someone would call us back to reschedule, but that never happened. Because my wife has an event planned at our house next week, we had to scramble to find someone to paint our rooms instead of him. We can’t leave all our furniture and belongings piled in the middle of the room for who knows how long. If he didn’t want the job, he should have just said so, but to not call us after we spent many hours prepping the rooms for him is not acceptable and completely unprofessional.

I hired Judon’s Painting to paint my family room because I bought a Groupon for a very reasonable price. Let’s just say I got what I paid for. I am considering having our front room painted because I am not going to try to paint the 20+ foot walls myself so I was considering this job kind of an audition. I will not be hiring them for a second job. They got paint all over my wood floors when they painted the baseboards, even though I had specifically asked them to be careful of our new wood floors. I pointed this out before they left and Jimmie went over to the spot I was pointing at and tried to rub it off, which just smeared the white paint all over the dark wood. I told him I would scrape it off after it dried (which took over an hour including scraping paint off all the windows too). As they were packing up, I noticed many spots where the paint was dripping down the walls. I asked if he had a wet roller that he could go over those with before they dried and he just wiped them off with his finger, which leaves a weird looking mark that looks just as bad as the drips. There were even spots in the corners that still have the old wall color showing through (even though he told me they did two coats of paint). Overall, I was content to have gotten the work done for cheap but I still had to do a lot of touch ups. I would have been furious if I had paid full price for such shoddy work.

Judon’s Custom Painting is outstanding. Jimmy is honest, very hardworking, and does an excellent job. He and his crew painted the interior of our house and it took them just a few days to completely transform our house! Their price were more than reasonable and they were courteous, prompt and cleaned up after themselves!
