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.
