Drywall repair after electrical refit, and Painting
We needed repairs to the damage done in the house after we replaced our knob & tube wiring. There were holes cut in the ceiling and walls, in the basement, living room, kitchen, bedrooms, etc. We also needed to repaint the walls and were painting out all the old wood moulding white. This contractor was recommended to us by our real estate agent, as he said that he had good results from him previously. We had three quotes, and his was the highest (almost double one of the other quotes), but both my wife and I had met with him and he seemed to answer our questions well. Firstly, I think that there was little supervision on the job, and it shows. While the work was being done, we came home to faucets running, different colour white paint being used in the same area, and all in all a poor job. I would raise the issues and try to get things corrected, but all I kept getting were excuses. It just seemed like there was no supervision on the workers. We are now finding many cracks and discolouration of paint, not even two years later. We were disappointed then and we continue to be significantly disappointed now. Eventually, we will have to redo a lot of the work that has been done which is a pain...We would recommend you avoid using this contractor.
