So I'm looking for some input as to whether we are out to lunch or not in thinking this paint job is crap.

Back story: Our house was a rental before we bought it, so the painting leaves a lot to be desired. There is runs, bad patching, etc. We re-did our sons rooms, our bathrooms, and our kitchen but just lived with the rest of it as we didn't want to tackle the big areas and a lot of of it was covered by furniture/artwork/etc. When we re-did the rooms we did, we put in serious effort to ensure we smoothed out all the bad stuff from previous painting and the result was great.

That brings us to a couple weeks ago when we contacted a painter that family members had used earlier in the year and were very happy with their work. We saw the paint job and agree, it was good work - clean, no lines, no border issues, etc. So we brought them in to give us a quote on our remaining rooms and explained very clearly that the walls were in bad shape and showed them many examples. They assured us they could take care of it, no problems. We agreed to hire them and set a date.

Well now, post job completion, we are not impressed at all. I've uploaded an album of examples of issues to dropbox and will link below. We've already had them back out once to fix problems, but even some of the areas they "fixed" are not great. One wall we asked them to fix a couple areas on now has paint lines on it from what looks to be a rushed job. I should also add that they originally said they'd be 3 days and finished in less than two. Makes me wonder if they rushed through and as a result the work shows that.

Anyways, I'd love some feedback on the pictures and let me know if we need to cool our jets or are right in thinking that we should expect better from professionals. Note; I took these with my phone quickly so some of the photos aren't great.
