I had a contractor do drywall work (install new). The price was good and their reviews online were good. I was happy with the drywall work...though sometimes you can't tell how good it is until it is painted.
Anyway, the contractor collected his check and I asked him to send me a price to prime and paint. I was on the phone then and he came back out and gave me a price which I thought was high. He said he could do it the next day (which was a plus). He knew I was hesitant and said it was primer and 2 coats of paint. Obviously. I agreed stupidly. Fine. My fault. I was caught off guard.
The guy came and did the whole thing in 3 hours for $650. They didn't even leave the extra paint/primer.
He got paint on my moulding (at the ceiling), on my lights and there is even a spot where I can still see the patching (no primer or paint). And when I say on my moulding, I don't mean a touch here or there.
I think he underbid the drywall and tried to make a quick buck after. Thoughts? I am contacting him tomorrow.
The thing is, I am also having hardwood flooring done (install/refinish). So he can't fix this in the next few days. I don't want to stop the check as I think it is best to work things out. But I think this is egregious.
