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.
