Paint firm must pay $3518
■ Hands Free Painting Pty Ltd has been ordered by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Trubinal to pay$2993 plus $525 costs after a job that went wrong at Seddon. Helen Papadopoulos and Paul Papadopoulos lodged a small claim hearing with Senior Member Mark Farrelly. The couple said the painting works carried out by the company were of “very poor quality”. Mrs Papadopoulos terminated the contract with director Mr Rabiee before the works were fully completed. The couple claimed damages for the costs of completing the painting works, and rectifying the defects and associated damage to the home. The company unsuccessfully brought a counterclaim seeking payment for the works. The couple lodged an inspection report by consultant Mr McKinnon. Mr Farrelly visited the home to inspect the works. He heard that the company provided a quote of $6500 plus GST for the interior of the home, plus some exterior painting to the front door, some fascias, eaves and gutters. Soon after the works commenced, Mrs Papadopoulos reached the view that the paint and tools being used were unsatisfactory. She went and bought new Dulux paint and some brushes and rollers. Mr Rabiee said Mrs Papadopoulos constantly interefered with the progress of the painting works and refused him reasonable access. Mr Farrelly said Mrs Papadopoulos often provided univited directions. When Mr Rabiee wanted full payment, she instead only paid $1000, after having paid a $2000 deposit. He was ordered to leave the house, and says he was denied a reasonable opportunity to complete the works, including final touch up and cleaning. Mr Farrelly listed the deficiencies in the work carried out by Hands Free Painting Pty Ltd. He said the termination of the contract was justified.
