So I got home from the dinner and a play and then had to check out what our contractor had done. He said he had finished everything so I decided to check it out. Fireplace looked great, couldn't see the stain and the tile looked nice. He also sealed up around the Direct TV satellite on the roof. Seems those guys didn't seal the screw holes and that allowed water to leak into our master bedroom damage the wall. So he sealed those holes. He also sealed around another piece of the roof where he thinks the water came into our living room.. only way will know he got it is when it rains again. So that stuff was good. He re-textured the ceiling in the living room and though the white paint is slightly off it's not a bad job and is okay. The new doorway into the laundry room was wonderful.. looks just like the doorway in front of it. But the paint job in the master bathroom is horrible, at least in my opinion. The lines are not good, there are places where you can see the color that was on the wall. They painted around fixtures instead of removing them and painting under them. I was not happy about the master bathroom. Next was our master bedroom where the crack was. They re-textured the wall but didn't bother to cover anything so there was a layer of white dust from the sanding all over the floor and pillows. And to top it off they used semi-gloss paint instead of the red paint. And damaged the paint on the other wall.. so now I have to re-paint that corner to make it match everything else. Not to the laundry room.. again the painting was half ass. Looks like the did one coat and there is white all over the place. They did pull out the washer and dryer and kind of painted behind them but didn't bother to hook them back up. So will have to re-paint that room as well. As I said the doorway looked great but there was a inch think of white dust all over the pantry area. Also texture splattered onto other walls which will need to be painted again. Our contractor is great when it come to construction but lacks on the painting skills.. at least to my standards which can be high but please even leaving things half done is not good. So now it looks like because Harry and I were lazy and didn't want to paint will have to do a lot of touch up painting.
