Uhmm… so… My house had been vacant since I had Sinclair come in and make all the repairs. The repairs that I paid almost $ 10K for. Just recently, my first tenant since the fiasco moved in to the place. And I am damn lucky that he’s one of my best friends who has a knack for carpentry, because otherwise I’d be in a pretty awkward position. Apparently Sinclair’s crew didn’t do as great a job as I was led to believe. I personally haven’t been to the house since the work was done by the way, so I haven’t been able to see it for myself — that’s how I’m just now finding this out almost 2 years later. A couple examples: Apparently the new flooring they laid down was done well, except for the fact that they didn’t cut holes in the boards for the heating duct vents! WTF. My tenant couldn’t figure out why heat wasn’t coming into the living room when the furnace was on – well bingo, the air couldn’t get through. And the paint in the master bathroom was only half done. It looks like someone got started with it and just forgot to finish. There were a couple other things too. Whatever, the bottom line is that when you pay out the ass for a job to be done, you expect that job to actually BE done. The fact that the person paying for the work lives 4000 miles away shouldn’t be an excuse to do things half-assed.
