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?
Sure, I’ve had both good and bad experiences. The contractors putting a new heating system into my house did quite a good job for example. They even took the time to explain to me how to do some troubleshooting myself if there are any issues.
On the other end of the spectrum are the people who were supposed to put solar panels on my roof, as they decided that they didn’t like my roof when they were about a quarter of the way done (no panels installed) but still wanted me to pay like 3000€. Did not end up having to pay anything, but only after threatening with a lawyer.
