Is $6,800 to demolish tile, lay LVP flooring, and install new baseboards a fair price?
Project Details
I hired a contractor to do my flooring and I'm not super happy with the customer service. I honestly expected to be tailored to a bit more for the price. I had to ask him to pick up the flooring from the store as he expected me to do so, and I had to move all my own furniture. I hired him because he mentioned he would do all the work himself and wouldn't subcontract, but he ended up hiring someone for tile glue removal and another person to lay all the flooring after he hurt his back. This annoys me because I would rather have paid those people directly. He only ended up doing the baseboards, which he told us he would not be painting. He also kept saying he would fix things, but then up-charged for all of those things on the final bill. He chipped paint in one area and has failed to say anything, and he also accidentally got water all over the floor, resulting in one of the baseboards being water stained, which looks terrible, and he is still refusing to paint it. I just expected him to go a bit more above and beyond.
