Shoddy workmanship

We had Philip Jonck and his daughter Carmen from Painters Cape in for the painting of the outside of our house and the roof in May of this year. They were also asked to rebuild a step that a previous builder messed up and seal the roof above our bedroom and various other small tasks like sanding and painting the inside doors and door frames.

They do come as a big group and work quickly. The painting outside was nicely done although the roof at some places looks as if it needed an extra coat although they assured us that two coats were applied as stated.

The inside doors were not sanded down enough so half of them do not close because of the thick layers of paint. The front and back door have peeling paint as the paint area was not prepared properly before being painted.

The roof that we asked and paid extra to be sealed is still leaking and we have tried sealing it and discovered at least one hole as big as a R5 coin! To get my disabled husband on the roof and trying to fix the holes takes an enormous amount of effort and associated risk.

The step they rebuild is not nearly level so it will have to be broken up and redone again! Plus they left us with all the building rubble on the sidewalk and the extra cement as they promised to come and tile the steps but never returned.

We have tried in vain to get them to come and fix the work they messed up.
