Well, I'm at the end of week 2 of no bathroom, and my patience is wearing thin with these guys.
This is the first time I've ever hired a contractor to do a big job like this and it just seems like everything they do is half-assed or wrong and then I have to tell them to fix it. He didn't order my window so my shower area is still not tiled, in fact there are still open studs. I'm actually considering telling them to **** off and having someone else come and do it at this point. |

They also did a crappy job of framing the recessed medicine cabinet and then shoved it into the wall and bent/broke it making it fit the not-square framing and pushed on the lathe on the other side of the wall and made a 10" crack in the plaster in my dining room. They also didn't order the new window until the 2nd week and found out it was a special order that will take 14 days. So yeah, I'm not expecting perfection at all, I'd just like something better than what I'm getting, which is pretty bad. ![]() |

The last thing you want is a pissed off contractor finishing up your renovations... ![]() A couple of other notes, a lot of contractors want payment in full before they're done with the work - it allows them to leave the job a lot easier. You should always have a retainer (10-20% of the total is good in most cases but more is not uncommon) that is not paid until the end of the job. If they say they need more than 50% (20-30% is more likely the actual amount) for materials, call bull$hit unless you are getting major equipment like water heaters, condensing unit, furnace, or extremely expensive finishes.

![]() ![]() I consider myself lucky that I have a go to guy when I get in over my head in renovations. He's actually going to do some exterior siding and trim work for me (main reason is I don't have a vehicle to transport materials ![]()
