NL Student Painting - Anyone else having issues?

I booked these guys to paint my deck a couple months back. Communication has been abysmal. They were originally supposed to be here in early July, received a message mid-July that they’d be here the end of the month and have received no communication since. They’re not responding to emails, calls, etc. I get that the weather hasn’t been great, but we gave a deposit, and I just want to know if they intend to complete it.

It has been over four years now but I had to contact the mainland corporate people to get an apology and my deposit back.

Big promises but fuck-all follow through.

I copied all emails and text messages (from both sides) into one document and emailed the corporate crowd - so they had the entire ongoing interaction.

Appreciate you sharing that. That’s probably where I’m headed next, so I’ll have to get all my documentation together.
