They misbid the job (at only about $8000), then called to say they had misbid and had to double their bid. We still took them. After 4.5 weeks, they realized they were going to take 5 weeks for a planned 4-week job --and so rushed last day or two, making mistakes. Poor quality in areas.
However, to their credit, they responded and corrected problems after a first round of corrections we requested.
Our greatest issue was their failure to properly cover (tarp) our carpets and to control dust from sanding. About a week into the job, I had to ask them to use plastic over the stairway bannister which was becoming discolored. That night, I slipped on stair carpet slick with wallboard/paint dust. Grabbing the banister, the plastic slipped down under my hand, causing me to fall down the full flight of stairs. I was quite injured and limped for weeks.
These fellas are from the Shenandoah Valley and among their work is barn painting, apparently. I felt working our large house job (to prep our 3,500-foot home for sale) was a bit beyond their sophistication. My wife was critical of painting quality at times. We noted they seldom if ever used painters tape or other measures to assure straight lines.
On the plus side, the bid was massively below the competition and fit our needs to do a big job at as low a price as possible. We thank them for that! We were on a tight budget.
Clearly, howerever, their bid (even when doubled) was still too low for them -- they had to rush to finish the job and get out, and they were a little coy about their hasty last day or two of work. Another contractor working on our house at the same time reported that by his experienced observation, JETT lost much time due to disorganized work amongst their four-five people on our job. He was also surprised by the lack of dust control.
To be fair, I told JETT that carpeting was going to be ripped out and replaced. They may have taken this as license to be messy and treat the job as a house "gutting." I suspect this was the problem.
