In & Out Painting Services

Don't hire this guy. Kamil "Kam" Lech (778) 861-5545 of "In&Out Painting Services" is dishonest, unreliable and irresponsible. I hired him to paint 1-bdr apartment in Vancouver. He works alone and needed 2 days: May 30-31. Two days before the schedule he called to confirm, asking if we were set 'for tomorrow'. I corrected him, saying it was the day after, on Wednesday. That's what I meant, he replied... Ok... On Wednesday May 30 he was late for more than an hour, and did not answer the phone. When he showed up, the story was that his car got hit from behind the day before, he had to rent a car, forgot the keys in the trunk and locked himself out, and left the phone in the car. Ok... He started working and on the second day he texted me to email hin $70. He forgot to bring cash, his card was at the max and he needed money for the paint to continue working, so I emailed him the money... He said he would only except cash ($1,100 was the deal, including the paint) which was fine with me. I got the money from the bank but I withdrew more so I could pay the cleaning lady to clean the condo after he has left. I totally forgot that there was more money in the envelope and gave him all the money $1,500. I admit I made a mistake and didn't count the money. Inexplicable and stupid but I still like to think that an honest business man would not take an advantage of me. Kam did though. My calls, text messages and voicemail did not do much. For more than a week he kept repeating that he would email me the extra but he never did. I offered him to keep $50 and email me $350 to which he replied "thank you, appreciate it"... I drove to his "office" (private house, actually) in Coquitlam. He was not home, and the lady who opened the door explained that he lives with his friends... Anyway, stay away from this guy and hire a reliable, established professional.
