Judon's Custom Painting

This company had zero respect for our home! They spray painted the interior of our home without properly covering. The damage has been endless.. Spray painted custom blinds, furniture, windows, screens, cloths...There was so much over spray we had foot prints on the floor. Not to mention the poor paint job with previous color coming thru.. not properly patched and painted. I do no recommend this company.

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 2nd 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 2nd 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. The men disappeared Mon around 12:30 - 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 2nd 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).

If you want a dog house painted then choose Judon. Otherwise BUYER BEWARE!!! This family business should stay a family, not a business! Where can I begin with all the damage they did???!!! They are SLOPPY, inconsiderate, and just plain inexplicably inept. They ruined all the windows which are brand new. It cost $2,000 to have the windows repaired. They couldn't paint a straight line where ceiling and walls met with 2 different colors. They literally slopped on the paint and missed half the wall. Touch ups with brushes were incredibly obvious. They painted over dust so the surfaces are rough and uneven. Never used drop cloths for walls, only for the ceiling and left a lot uncovered. Paint splatter took so long to clean up. Their carelessness and inconsideration left scratches in the new porcelain tile, which is almost impossible to do. They also left caulking all over the floor, again tedious to clean up. We need to get a new utility sink where they poured the paint and never cleaned up. Finally had to throw them out and got another painter to try to correct their botched work. Get a 2 year old to paint and they'll do MUCH better than Judon!!! Need I go on??

Hired to paint entire interior of house recently purchased. Job was done on time. Jimmie called to do walk through at completion. Missed 2nd coat of paint in numerous areas and paint all over bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, garage floor, etc. Told him job was not satisfactory and called us 2 hours later for another walk through, which was somewhat better. Would never hire again or recommend to anyone.

Where to start?

Tried to get away with 1 coat of paint in dozens of separate areas in the home.

Was promised 3-5 days to finish a 2000 sqft home, it took 9-10 days, with a nice disappearance in the middle without returned phone calls.

Failed to fill in obvious holes, despite numerous requests and even leaving tape to point it out for them, in fact after pointing them out they were just repainted... so I had to fill them in myself and tell them they can now re-paint...

Dozens of dried paint spots, small and HUGE, in the carpet in several rooms, when I pointed these spots out they either were not touched or it looked like they were just stepped on and ground in...

When he did fill in holes, he used rubber silicon material that had no structural integrity whatsoever, not to mention looked awful when the big holes began to sag just days after.

Often found them working with numerous doors wide open with air conditioning blasting, and found it wasn't to help the paint dry, it merely provided quick access to stop working after 20 minutes to smoke in the doorway...

So yea, you'll have the long term smell of new paint laced with cigarette smoke, enjoy!

So if you want someone who will take 2 to 3 times as long to do half the work, while always trying to get away with very substandard work that is dependent on YOU to review their work, like they are children, then this is the company for you, but remember despite the cut rate work, they'll charge you normal prices, good luck!

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 Yelp 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!

Excellent all around. The quote was reasonable and the job was done fast and with care. They crew took time to go over all the details and the place looks great. Very happy and would recommend and use again. Thank you.

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.

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 9th 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.
