Beware of texaspaintingcrew.com, aka bestpainters.com, aka professionalpaintcrew.com, aka, rentpainters.com, aka, reidllc.com, aka, american home painters, aka, the painters, aka denver painting crew, aka, travis reid, llc, aka, new york painting crew, the owner travis is a scam artist.
I writing this report because i luckily averted a crisis with this company because of other reports i read from other consumers online, but let me explain how i got to this point.
I found texaspaintcrew.com online on craigslist and called them to get some information on how they work. I originally spoke with a young lady who gave me all of the information and i was satisfied by what i heard and decided that they were the company i was going to go with. When i was ready to start my job i called and spoke with travis who initially hung up on me, and i called back thinking it was a mistake. The second call prompt a voicemail in which i left, and it was on the 3rd call that i finally got him.
I began questioning travis about the information in his ad regarding 1 painter can paint 2 to 3 areas or approximately 375 sq. Feet in an 8 hour day. I asked him what was the minimum a painter would paint in an 8 hours day and he began to tell me that he could not guarantee a minimum or a maximum. I still began to push and asked the question again asking if i had a room that was a 100 sq. Feet can i expect 1 painter to complete that room and another 100 sq. Ft. Room, or is a possibility that he will only complete the (1) 100 sq. Feet room in an 8 hour day, he again told me he made no guarantees, because if he guaranteed that and the painter did not produce that he would get in trouble. He tried to out talk me by telling me his crews worked very fast and that they normally can paint 2 to 3 areas in a day but there were no guarantees. After getting frustrated with all my questions travis hung up on me.
After the second hang up and him being very evasive and averting my questions, i became suspicious, and began to scourer the internet for anything on this company and came an abundance of complaints. Www. Complaintsboard.com had several complaints regarding travis and the various company names he has worked under, www. Reviewtalk.com, www. Scamexposure.com, and / link removed / had a wealth of information regarding the different cities he has pulled this scam in, washington, d. C. , virginia, new york, colorado, california, arizona, and now he is in texas.
This was friday, 10 / 11 / 13. On sunday, 10 / 13 / 13 at 10:00 a. M. In the morning, travis called me responding to his voicemails trying to set up a crew and i told him i wasn't interested. Not remembering he had spoke with me on friday, he began to tell me how he would give me a discount if i would reconsider, and i told him i had spoken with him on friday, and he hung up on me and i had already found someone else. Travis, began to get indignant with me and started screaming, "look you fuc#!*$ nig#! You called, me i’m trying to help your nig#! As#!" i chuckled and hung up.
From my research i discovered, the scam with this company is they advertise 5 guys for $850. 00 with the notion that each guy can paint approximately 375 sq. Ft. In an 8 hour day, giving you the impression that you can get your entire home painted by 5 guys in 1 day, but since they make no guarantees to that, 1 guy may paint 25 sq. Ft. In a 8 hour day, by the time he tape, remove your wall plates, move your furniture, cover everything, and fix whatever holes in the wall you may have. The trick is you are renting a crew by the hour, not by the job, and what they finish is what they finish if they finish 1 wall in an 8 hour day you still have to pay them. You are better off hiring a painter for your entire job.
A better idea is to use travis website against him. I showed several contractors texaspaintingcrew.com website and they were willing to match and guarantee the entire job for the $850. 00.
In other complaints i have read, travis had tried to respond to complaints to throw consumers off, trying to explain the complaints were from his competitors. I assure you i am a real consumer, if you still decide to do business with this guy without any guarantees as to what his workers can and can not produce, you do so at your own risk, and in the long run it will cost you way more than you bargain for, you get what you pay for!
Best of luck, & i hope this helps you make an informed decision.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
False ads. Failed to show up for agreed upon date. Failed to clean up their mess daily.
The above complaints are obviously by a competitor to slander us.
Just mention you've seen these false reviews online and we will extend a $50 discount to you. Remember you don't pay the balance of the job to our painters until you're happy with the work so we guarantee your satisfaction. This is absolutely a honest day's work for a honest day's pay.

We offer affordable painting crew for the day rates. Each painter can paint approximately 375 sq feet of production per day. Typically that would be 2-3 rooms per painter on average. We cannot guarantee that type of production but we do guarantee the quality of work will be done professionally. Wall repairs, multiple coats. ceilings, trim and doors take away from the overall production. Regardless whether you hire us or someone else to do your painting it should take the same amount of time and with our lower overhead costs we are able to help you save more money.
Please feel free to compare our prices to others. We do not have the extra overhead costs other companies will have. We receive a high call volume if we had to do an on site evaluation for each person who inquired about a painting project we would certainly have to raise our prices. For instance we do not have to pay estimators salaries, gas costs, parking fees, Maintenance on estimators vehicles, sales commissions to salespeople and the list goes on. If you are receiving other quotes simply ask the salesperson how many painters are needed and how long the job should take and compare their price to ours to see which best suits your needs. No reason to spend more on an overpriced estimate. Rent a painting crew for the day and save!
We also get substantial paint store savings up to 60% off at Sherwin Williams. Our best discount is on Pro Mar 200 brand paint. Some paint contractors will offer to include the cost of paint in your estimate. These contractors will be making money off purchasing your paint. You should use our discount code to save money on your paint. The paint store salesperson will be happy to give you a color consultation and they are trained to tell you how much paint to buy and which kind of paint would work best for you.
We are a fully insured full service painting company. We can do anything you need done painting related. Our painters are also able to do minor handyman tasks at no additional costs at the crews discretion. It's a honest day's work for a honest day's day pay. If you require an additional day of work we would be happy to get you on the schedule for the following day or another day that works best for you.
We can do any job big or small but we specialize in small jobs. We started our painting crew for the day program after researching that many of our customers weren't getting any return calls from painting contractors willing to commit their labor force that didn't return larger dollar amounts. We focus on small jobs ranging from a couple rooms to a deck that needs to re-stained. Anything that's small that can be done in 1 day. Another way we help homeowners save money is we provide all of our top of the line painting equipment so they don't have to purchase expensive painting equipment that they would not use on a regular basis.
If you are shopping around with other companies please beware of companies with no websites, language barriers, or ones who show up with no company trucks or uniforms these could be potential red flags for fly by night contractors. Also avoid high priced estimates with contractors who may rush to complete the job to maximize profits. If our painters your job early please feel free to find them something else to paint for the remainder of the 8 hour day.
Our prices can't be beat by a reputable painting company! Why pay someone else more? You pay our painters at the end of the day once you are happy with the work so there would be no reason to spend more anywhere else!

It's a scam. I was scammed by Travis and "the Local painters" - not professional painters with one English speaker. When I tried to explain i didn't want to pay (per advertisement) due to poor quality painting (really?! Paint runs?), the English speaking crew boss got very angry. So what is one to do with strangers in her house? Pay them to get the hell out. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Expensive lesson learned.
This is not a scam ladies and gentlemen.

You pay at the end of the day once happy with the work,

SCAM! ALL OF THE COMPANIES LISTED AND ASSOCIATED.
Travis is at it again. Did all the same things to me: threaten with physical violence, firebomb my house, spread HIV rumors on the internet. Claim how internet savvy he is, being able to look up all my information and destroy my credit with a "contractors lien". LOL! All this from a guy not even smart enough to use a different name.
Wow - My stalkers posted that last review 20 minutes after I posted my post!

Travis you are a fraud, a scam artist and a racist ###. You threatened to kill my family, burn down my house and kill me. I see you have made the same threats here to other people. You have no morals and are sorely lacking in ethics. But I will put a stop to this crap. I will follow through with legal action and make sure this racist bigoted individual is brought to a halt. You shall not walk away and continue to make threats to people's lives the act like a coward (which you are) when you are called on your bluff like this. We will take this up wit the police and through the court systems. This time you messed with the wrong person.
I write this review with complete honesty and transparancy in hopes that people avoid THE-LOCAL-PAINTERS and Travis the owner of the company. Let me begin by saying we had booked the LOCAL PAINTERS two weesk prior to the job and requested 5 painters. When the painters finally showed up at 11:30 because Travis gave them the wrong address... and then there were three. 3 painters showed up to a job that we asked for 5 because of the amount of sqaure footage we needed painted. It was a total disaster. Travis assured us they were to stay until 8 PM which would amount to an 8 hour work day. The painters ended up staying until 5:00pm and we had already paid Travis his cut over Pay Pal so once he got his money he didn't give a F*** about us or how much money were out. We ended going with another paint company to finish the job and we were so happy we did as they took care of us. No phone call from Travis to awknowlege the mistakes that had been made. My only regret is that we paid the pay pal and that money should have gone to the painters. HE'S A TOTAL SCAM ARTIST! Do not use THE-LOCAL-PAINTERS no matter how much of a deal they say they can give you. There are plenty of others that can do a great job for the exact same price or even better.
Another fake post about our company. We have no recollection of any of these false posts. Our competitors are posting these lies.

This is a scam. Look how many different cities Travis operates from all pretending to be local in each of them. Google rent a painter scam and you will see Travis's name over and over and over again. This is the biggest scam I've ever seen.
Feel free to call those numbers and ask them about Travis.
More of his ads
Here is more of his ads
And even more...
Now Travis claims to be insured. Fine..scan and post a copy of your insurance paperwork so people can directly contact the agency to verify it. If you are local to any city publish the address you operate from. Publish your direct local business number not an 800 forwarding number. Post the state you operate from so we can contact the authorities to deal with all the people you've ripped off. If you're a legit business posting any of those details should be really easy to do but over two years of people reporting your scams across the country aren't lying. You are and every time someone searches anything about your company they will find this.
