Repair water damage to doorframe and flooring

Our property manager hired this company to do some work on the back door of our house. If we'd had a choice, we would never have hired them. All they had to do was remove a doorframe, replace the rotten wood, replace the doorframe, apply protective outdoor caulking, tile a small area by the doorframe, and paint the damaged wall and trim. Instead, they removed the doorframe, but only looked at the rotten wood and then put the doorframe right back over the rotten wood! They also cut the door trim without measuring it first, so that it sits with half an inch empty space over the floor. They then applied decorative caulking outdoors (seriously??), and cut into laminate flooring without measuring leaving a an uneven gap between the tile and the laminate that is too large to cover with a transition strip. Besides those unprofessional mistakes, they also splashed paint on the ceiling, accidentally rolled paint on the white trim, left the area around the trim unpainted, smeared caulking over the paint, and when they finally put the right caulking around the outside of the door they only put it on one side.
When we asked why the trim was too short, they pumped the gap full of caulking. When we asked why there was a space between the wall and the tile (which left the subfloor exposed), they pumped it full of caulking. When they suggested using a transition strip that would have left a finger width gap between it and the tile, they said they wanted to fill it with caulking.
This company stands behind this quality of work and refuses to do anything to repair the damage they have done to our home. This has left us with no choice but to find a professional company to rectify the breathtaking incompetence of ‘Home and Housing Construction.’
We definitely do NOT recommend this company.
