The reviews for Hyde's Painting split in two, and the break comes in 2023. The written record runs from 2021 to 2024. Before the break, homeowners around Goffstown described Alicia Hyde and her crew doing careful interior work: a 2022 customer wrote about perfect lines and intricate wainscotting panels, a 2021 reviewer about a dated cabin turned into a ski chalet, another in 2021 about painters who came back to add a second coat to new front steps at no charge. Angi reviewers in 2021 described a crew that arrived on time, worked quietly and cleaned up after itself. After that, the accounts change, and they describe the same thing. In a September 2023 Angi review, a couple wrote that she quoted $8,000 to paint their house, asked for half down, accepted a $1,000 deposit in April and said she would start in June. A November 2023 Google reviewer wrote that $2,100 was taken, the painting never done, and calls and texts stopped being answered — from a customer who said they had used her for several projects before. Another September 2023 reviewer described deposits taken and work left unfinished more than once, and a Newport homeowner wrote that same month that interior jobs done earlier in the year went well before the exterior job did not. The March 2024 account goes furthest: a customer wrote that $5,000 of theirs was gone, that they had the police look for her and the New Hampshire District Attorney's office look into the matter, and that a judge ruled in their favor in small claims court. Its Better Business Bureau grade is a B-, which the bureau ties to the business not responding to a complaint filed against it, and its BBB page shows a customer review describing a $5,530 deposit on a house-painting job in Grantham that was left unfinished. Angi and HomeAdvisor both display a "this pro is under review" banner on the profile. The platform averages still look healthy — 3.9 on Google, 4.4 on Angi — because most of those ratings were left in 2021 and 2022. Anyone weighing this company should start with the money: ask for a written contract with payment tied to completed stages rather than a deposit up front, and check where the small-claims judgment and the BBB complaint now stand before handing over anything.
She takes your $ and does not fulfill the contract. She has $5000 of ours.She just vanished. I had the Police look for her, got the District Attorney of NH look into the matter. Now I'm taking her to Small Claims Court. The Judge in my case has ruled in my favor. Next comes the Sheriff.I am not giving up. She is stealing from the people of NH. This is a terrible person, she deserves jail time.
DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!!!! We are so so disappointed and upset in this person and business. The took $2100 from us, never did the paint work and stopped responding to our texts and calls. We trusted them with several projects in the past and something has really changed. Please do not give them any money in advance they can not be trusted. It’s sad that someone would do this to anyone never mind to a family of three young kids right before Christmas.
THIS WOMAN IS A FRAUD AND STEALS FROM THE DISABLED-DO NOT HIRE HER!!! I, a resident of Newport, NH, hired Alicia several times earlier this year for some interior painting (several rooms inside my house); the jobs were done well, so I decided to hire her to paint the exterior. I gave her a cheque for a $6000 deposit in April, and the painting was to be completed no later than Labor Day. Several times over the summer, Alicia made appointments to come to my house, & never showed up. I was provided with a handful of excuses, & promises that the job would be completed. The last time Alicia made an appointment with me, I was ghosted altogether. I texted her and gave her a chance to return my deposit, but my text was never answered. Now I'm out $6k, and I'll still have to hire someone else for this job, as painting the exterior is a requirement for my home insurance (& it was supposed to be completed by a certain time, which likely won't happen now). This is a job I absolutely cannot do myself; I have Lupus & Fibromyalgia, currently cannot work, and I have absolutely no income of any kind at the moment (I'm living on savings)-There is no way I can make this $6000 back anytime in the near future. Also, I am not the only person she's done this to-I have found other negative reviews from folks online that she's ripped off for hefty deposits. Again-DO NOT HIRE HER!!!!
Takes deposits and doesn't complete work. When confronted either doesn't answer or comes up with excuses. This has been the instance more than once. I highly caution anyone who is considering using this "business"
Alicia Hyde quoted a price of $8000 to paint our house after viewing it. She requested a deposit of half down. My husband said no way and gave her a deposit of $1000. Which she accepted in April. She said that she would start fhouse painting in June. We purchased the paint she recommended (Benjamin Moore). She never showed up. We didn’t hear from her. My husband texted asking when she would start and heard nothing. I texted her in July asking when she expected to begin painting. Her response was that she had had pneumonia and I was told she would start sometime in August. At the end of August my husband texted her to get in touch with me. She didn’t. I attempted to contact her, but was unable to reach her via text or via Facebook. However, My husband was able to text her. He told her that we no longer trust her and to please return our money. Again, no response. We are looking for swift resolution of the return of our $1000
