Plateau Painting and Remodeling is a Norton, MA painting and remodeling business. In a 2002 Angi review, the reviewer said Michael Mahoney provided "a first class painting job," that Plateau began the job on the day they promised and stayed with it every day until completion, and that the house and yard area were cleaned up thoroughly at the end. In another 2002 review, about work on the reviewer's first home, the reviewer wrote that Michael Mahoney and crew offered "an extremely competitive price" and added extras like installing base board/moulding for the kitchen at no extra cost. A separate 2002 review said the reviewer chose Michael Mahoney and his crew because they had experience painting aluminum siding. In a 2003 review, the reviewer said Mike and his crew began the job ahead of schedule and that Mike "did everything that he said he was going to do and more." In a 2003 Angi review, the reviewer wrote that it had been six weeks since they last heard from Mike, the owner, with new trim still bare wood and basement windows not painted, and said the spray painting job was done "with very little regard for my new Pella windows, deck and doors." A 2003 Angi review said the reviewers had paid 2/3 of the total cost, but the company only powerwashed, sanded and put on some primer, and for over three weeks did not answer the phone, voicemail or e-mails. In a 2004 Angi review, the reviewer wrote that they came home to a flood in the foyer area during initial demolition, and that Mike Mahoney, the owner, said everything would be restored to its original condition but it "was not done to my satisfaction." That 2004 reviewer also wrote that the bathroom tile had grout all over it, called the painting work "very sloppy," and said he would not return any of their phone calls.
Bathroom - Remodel
During initial demolition the opened op one of the pipes. I came home to a flood in my foyer area. The ceilings in my foyer area were water damaged the wall paper had brown stains and was coming off the walls and some of the paint was peeling of my wood trim. The flood went into my basement where it damged my polomix finished walls. I was told by Mike Mahoney the owner that everthing would be restored to it's original condition and it was not done to my satisfaction. The tile in the batroom has grout all over the place which is hard to remove. The painting work is very sloppy, and the joints in the wallcovering to not align. He owns installing 2 towel bars which he never put in for us. he damaged the bathromm door frame on the corridor side and has not fixed it. My corridor hardwood floors have been damaged as well from not protecting them. 2 weeks after the job was completed I noticed some water damage in the foyer area. I called him to come back and look and he told me that the damage had come from inproper installation of the ceramic tile in the tub area. He told me that he would fix everthing. He fixed it half ass. The ceilings in the foyer still have water damage, the wall paper is coming of the walls and the walls in my basement are still not fixed. As of right now he will not return any of my phone calls. I want him to come back and fix everything. I let alot of the initial damage go because my brother is a union painter and he said he would help me fix some of the items. Currently I am getting some legal counsell and may be suing Plateau Painting. If there is anything you can do to help me address these issues because of his affiliation with you please feel free to call me at 617 740-1136.

We hired Plateau Painting and have paid them 2/3 of the total cost. However, they only powerwashed and sanded and put on some primer, and they have disappeared. For over three weeks they do not answer the phone, reply to voicemail, or answer our e-mails. They have left our house in a terrible shape, and we have received only destruction of the exterior in return for our payments. PLEASE HELP US!!!!

I chose this contractor due to the ratings on this site and I am extremely disappointed. I am still waiting for the job to be completed and it has been six weeks since I last heard from Mike, the owner. I still have new trim that is bare wood and basement windows that haven't been painted. In addition the spray painting job was done with very little regard for my new Pella windows, deck and doors. The overspray looks tacky and unprofessional. There was more regard for doing the job fast then doing the job well. As for cleanliness; my lawn was ruined in numerous areas by spilt paint, empty bottles and spare trim were strewn on my property and on the last day the crew showed up, my water was left on after they cleaned their brushes. This emptied my well, which took a few hours to replenish. I will never use Plateau for any work again. My bank called me 20 minutes after our check was given to Mike. They wanted to make sure we wrote him the check. A professional company with capital doesn't need the owner to cash checks. I believe Mike was afraid the check would be cancelled after we saw the quality of his work.
