Decorators reveal their domestic painting pet peeves
Posted: Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024
Joel Bardall and Todd Von Joel are joined by their fellow domestic painters Gareth Roberts and Chris Ordinaire who vent about the most frustrating aspects of their work.
Customers who don't move furniture before the project start date is Gareth's most frustrating pet peeve. "It's upsetting when you ask them to move the furniture to a storeroom and they don't," he said.
Another annoying issue is customers that don't provide tea & biscuits. "Where's common courtesy gone,?" he added.
While everybody can agree the lack of biscuits is annoying, later payers are a bigger issue.
"There can't be anything worse," said Chris. "You do a lovely job, clean up, put everything back and give them the bill, but two days later they haven't paid yet."
His other pet peeves are customers who can't choose a colour and when they don't move furniture.
