John K's Renovations

He was replacing sub-flooring and tile. He had to go under the home to remove wet insulation and install new. He also did a partial re-level. He rebuilt the vanity in one of the bathrooms. He removed and reset both toilets, painted the walls and doors in the bathrooms. In the master bath, the vanity is in the hallway going into the bathroom and the demo team tore the wood flooring from that area. He replaced that with tile. He removed the return duct for the A/C. Our biggest issues are with the painting on the walls in the bathrooms and the vanity area in the master bath. In the hall bathroom, when he replaced the vanity top, the surface of the wall was still rough. When the demo team was in, they did some damage to the wall and instead of replacing the paneling, he tried to repair it with a filler material. He was very unreliable, not showing up on time and, sometimes, not at all. What should have been a two week job was drawn out to a month and a half. He had to cut around the A/C vents in the floor, but they were not cut properly. The vent itself had fallen into the opening, when I checked the vent, I discovered that he had hammered the vent down, leaving an opening so air was coming from outside the home into the vent. While they were replacing the flooring, a worker fell through the floor. When this happened, the vent fell as well, and they just left it there. We requested that he move the return duct to another location because it was in a bad spot. The return duct was outside all day, dust and debris from him cutting tile in the yard went into the duct. I told him about it and asked him if he would vacuum it out. He said he didn't get anything in it. I then vacuumed it myself and cleared it of debris. I also discussed with him the filter in the duct. I went to change the filter and wasn't able to open the area where the filter goes in. When I brought this to his attention, he said it would open. He opened it by pulling very hard, which I cannot do. When I explained this to him, he said he would fix it by putting a small piece of trim on it. I told him this will not work because the trim will eventually break. He said he would fix that by putting nails in it.
