Color Alchemist Company of Painters

The color alchemist is a perfectionist and an expert at taking original wood and historic houses to a higher level. If you want to achieve the ‘look’ that you see in Architectural Digest or even Estate Homes (e.g. Marseille) then you must engage this company. This is a labor intensive process that can not be automated, but the tools used definitely reduce the time it takes to achieve high gloss, smooth, beautiful results.

They have worked on my house not only do they know what they are doing they are decently priced and work very hard my house is 70 years old and the work done has made my windows look almost brand new with the historic look

Beware of cost overruns. Never was able to give us an estimate. His contract said "3 weeks plus/minus". After 3 weeks, I requested multiple times to give us a cost estimate and a time frame going forward and he refused. All he would do is give us a weekly invoice for cost of his work/supplies and his helper. After 6 weeks( $6000 above nearest estimate), I terminated his contract. He left our house in Georgetown a mess. New contractor now looking over the job deciding what all needs to be done including the need for a carpenter to replace all of the molding/trim work that he took out. Talks incessantly about what he was going to do and how the work should be done. Stay away!!

He does not have a license. He only takes checks or cash. He makes oral agreements, but writes something different in his contract offers. He also doesn't disclose in advance that he expects the customer to pay seperately for his helper, and pay the inexperienced helper who broke at least 2 things in my home, the same rate that he commands. He took my down payment, though I declined his 1st contract offer, and paid his personal bills with it, though he had not earned it, and he refuses to pay it back, work it off, or pick up his tools which he left at my home. He just disappeared. He also stops working to talk incessently while the helper does all of the heavy duty work, and thinks it's ok to conduct his personal business during the customer's paid time. So, now I have to take him to small claims court because he won't communicate with me, nor return the money he spent.
