I'll keep this brief so you wont get all the facts but, I started a painting job for a customer sometime before Thanksgiving, I can only get in about 2-4 hrs a day plus week ends to do the work, thus the amount of time. Because of the length of time there the owner and I have become somewhat close,it was almost like going to Grandmothers house to paint.
She recently purchased the house and every inch but the floors was to be painted. Yesterday as I was starting the top coat in the the last room, kitchen, she accused me of some items that were missing, I have keys to the house, Some C clamps, a couple of screw drivers and of all things some red rags. Today I went to finsih the kitchen and she wanted to know if I took some keys off the hook. I finished the walls, packed up my stuff and just left, I'm really hurt being accused of such things. There is still about 10 doors that need painted along with the trim in the kitchen, and she still owns me several hundred dollars, which I dont care if I see it or not.
Has anyone been accused of stealing from a customer and how did you handle it. No I'm not bonded or insured.
