My experience 😑
High cost work with little to no accountability.
You can count on them doubling the estimate every single time, and you have to keep on them just to make sure the work gets done.
Just had one set of subcontractors throw away material for other fixes… Lead group days that the ones involved are no longer a part of the project, so we’re on the hook for even more.
Thinking back, i have always been unhappy with the work done by a contractor. I’m not asking for much, painters paint an area, plumbers stop leaks, drywall dudes fix the water damage… And the job is always left with areas unpainted, pipes not connected, and holes in the drywall that were not there before.
Have you ever been happy with a contractors work? What did they do for you?
No, not really. They are apparently 99% predatory scumbags or incompetent junkies who will fuck you over as soon as possible. They fill me with such rage that I have given up on using those lying assholes for almost everything except for roofing, some electrical, and some plumbing.
If you have to subject yourself to their bullshit: Always get at least 3 quotes from licensed bonded professionals. If they aren’t licensed and bonded, tell them to go jump into a wood chipper because it is 100% not worth the risk.
