Michael came to bid the project and meet in person, he said all the right things and presented as an experienced professional. He was aware of the age of the home and the lead paint issues it had. He began work and immediately broke contract. There were no tarps placed or daily cleanups , his crews put up shotty scaffolding and no nets, they didn't scrape or clean the home just began filling and sanding and priming.
Massive lead dust and chip contamination was spread to the home and yard as well as adjacent homes.
Interior where they had failed to seal the windows properly dust was accumulating in the living area of a small child.
Michael insisted this was not hazardous and that he would pay for the cleanup.
We had a third party come test the site and there was extremely dangerous levels of contamination to the home resulting in the displacement of my family for several months and all of our belongings needed to be disposed of.
Michael said he would reimburse us for the hotel fees and cleaning.
When contacted by our lawyer to provide his insurance information Michael avoided them and stopped answering communication.
His negligence effected the health of a 2 year old child and displaced a family causing over 100k dollars worth of damages and cost of temporary housing.
Michael and Next level Painting are as dishonest as it gets and he should be ashamed of himself.
No one should do business with them at any cost.
