Well, you've all listened to me bitch & piss & moan since the 31st of May, but none more so than my husband...(all together now....) "Poor Tom".
OK, enough with the sympathy..
Here's the scoop, I haven't bothered you because; well, who really knew when they would be finished.The plastic went up over the pantry entrance & curtains up over the door ways to minimize the dust on the 9th of July; cause they were coming to finish anyday now!
Our expectations vs. when they felt like completing the job.
But damn...when all is said & done, they do fine work. They pay attention to detail.
Was it worth it???? I don't know, right now I'd say "No".
When the painters are done & there are no shadings from tape lines 'cause they took the time to skim coat over them, I'll grudgingly say "Yes".
They utilized a sand vac, which vacuums up the majority of the drywall dust while they sand. There's still plenty, don't get me wrong, it permeates everywhere, but it could have been a lot worse.
So, off & on from the 9th of June, it was fustrating, one of us having to stay home & wait , not knowing if & when they would show.You'd call & get an answering machine, never talked to a live person unless THEY called you.
We were a fill-in job, they primarily do new construction & we were not top priority on their to-do list. (Amazing, the things you find out at the end.)
Obviously their new home contractors are their "bread & butter", but it would have been nice to know where you are in the pecking order.
So the painters arrive on Wed the 19th, had to push them out a couple days.
As always, we'll keep you posted.
