Is $5,000 to remove basement wall paneling, apply fungal inhibitor, and reconstruct walls a fair price?
Project Details
I had a flood in my basement and found a company to remove wall paneling, spray fungal inhibitor, and install new drywall for the $5,000 insurance payout. They have been flakey, left demo waste behind, and failed to finish the drywall installation or start mud and tape despite charging the full remaining balance. Only two workers showed up initially when four were promised.
