bathroom reno, 4 rooms painted,instal closet door
When we signed our contract, we were told that we'd have a crew of two for this job and a service oriented project manager. We ended up with a bricklayer by trade and a project manager who came to our home to manage the project only once. What should have been a five day renovation took ten and a half days. Our tradesman was running out of time to complete the project and so did things like grout the bathroom floor AFTER he'd installed the new baseboards. He told me he didn't like to paint, and it shows. The walls were only painted up to within a half inch of the ceilings and every piece of trim on the baseboards, doors and windows needs to be redone to straighten the sloppy lines. The vinyl trim on our brand new windows has to be scraped of the paint he put on them and when I realized he was painting this part of the window I asked him to stop. He taped off the final window so that only the wood casing around the window would be painted, but when he pulled off the tape, some of the paint came off the wood casing. "Where is the journeyman painter?" I'm thinking as I realize this man hasn't got the ability but I'm paying the "A" list price for this "B" list quality. I'm still cleaning up the paint he sprayed in my laundry room when he cleaned his brushes there. Again, where was the attention to detail I was promised? Oh to write a good review like the reviews that I read in the Royal info kit and online but it appears that some get good work/service and other don't!
