Is $10,500 to refinish floors and repair baseboards a fair price?
Project Details
The homeowner hired a contractor who claimed to be an oil floor specialist for a refresh, but the contractor used a non-conforming wax system and failed to mask baseboards. The finish is now failing and transferring. The homeowner is currently in a dispute with the contractor's bond company and the CSLB, as the bond company is only offering a refund of the original contract price while repair estimates are significantly higher due to the difficulty of removing the wax.
