They did a good job in cleaning up the mess that our General Contractor’s crew had left on our walls (what looked like raised ink-​blot designs in plaster all over what were supposed to be smooth walls), but they left behind quite a mess. Their contract specifically said that they wouldn’t do a detailed clean up after themselves, but I expected them to at least be conscious of not making too much of a mess! I’m still trying to clean plaster out of my outlets and switch plates! The worst was that the owner was downright rude about demanding payment. We paid him half up front, and the other half was due upon completion. I wasn’t going to back out of paying them, I just wanted to make sure that the job was done well enough to paint over, since I’d obviously been burned by the last crew to do the job. So my husband told him that he had to wait a few days for the painter to get a coat of paint on it so that we could make sure it was truly «smooth». He blew up at my husband and started cussing and screaming at him. This happened two days in a row. I actually feared that he’d try to come back to the job and sabotage it. Thankfully we were able to change the code to the alarm so he couldn’t get back in.
Good work, not so good attitude.
