Scammed by incompetent painter Omer Caliskan (Caliskan Conservering, KVK: 86766120)

Scammed by incompetent greedy painter Omer Caliskan (Caliskan Conservering, KVK: 86766120) who came through Homedeal.nl. It is a one-man business, address from invoice is non-working, registered letters cannot reach it. I have posted a job on Homedeal.nl for painting my newly built apartment in Amsterdam delivered in casco (empty new built). Painter Omer Caliskan (Caliskan Conservering) responded and seemed professional with his reviews on Homedeal.nl (their reviews clearly have very little use). I have made a gross mistake of paying for a job before being able to see the results. When we discussed the project upfront, he suggested to use a very expensive paint Sikkens Satin because I explained that I need my walls to be very smooth and reflect light beautifully as they are brand new. He told me he worked with this brand before and it is very good. I have no doubt this is true. However after 1,5 months of being dragged through endless drama with his sub-contractors he paid cash to cut corners and vandalism to my front door, leaving me to sleep with my door unlocked for 3 weeks, them leaving my front door wide open for several days/nights and just leaving, no respect for your private home, they smoke in your home without asking, I have found cigarette buds all over after having them gone. I am scammed out of more than 9300 Euro in total so far for the failed painjob, materials for his second attempt that were unaccounted for and my vandalised front door repairs they did not fully remedy. I have been put into a position of such distress by these people that refuse to take any accountability for the failure to do the job we agreed on, that I am forced to take legal action to recover anything so I can complete the project which is a long term investment in my home. Beware that he is using a garden pressure sprayer that is not suitable for such expensive spray paint jobs and his sub contractors are plastering my hand never making a clear angle and straight wall. It is impossible with such tools unless you are a master of your craft which these people are not, they are chancers. I have send feedback to Homedeal.nl but I was blatantly ignored. Beware of the scammers that come through this site, they will leave your dream home renovation project in shambles, your bank account empty, your home vandalised and a lot of distress chasing after them with legal actions to recover any of your damages while they deal mostly in cash, and do not pay tax.
