Can you ever trust a renovation contractor?
Renovations are underway and little problems keep surfacing here and there. And I am pushing the blame (almost entirely) to the reno contractor.
For example, he sent an sms saying that we can fit a swing door in the common toilet cos the door is 55cm and the space available is 44cm. HUH!?? wtf. And then he threw away the swing without asking.
And he made me travel all the way down to ubi to select a new wash basin (because he said we should get a top mount basin, then later said that his quote did not include the price of the vanity and it will cost a lot more to do a top mount basin).. then travel all the way back empty handed because he didn’t give us an accurate quote on a Friday. And the places that he bring us to for the purchase of the toilet accessories have so limited choices and are expensive! I had to do my own sourcing.
I really don’t know what his role is. I feel like me and my hubby are like the main project coordinators when he should be taking charge. But he forgets this and that, and I just can’t trust him completely. The renovations are ongoing, but there are so many areas in which he should have fared better.
When it comes to renovation contractors….is there anyone at all we can trust completely?
