Just wanted an advice. We have been using this contractor for the past 3 weeks to renovate our house. Before we signed the contract he was very nice and seem eager to do things extra things. Now after a week or so..we noticed he did a total 180 on us. Couple of things that bothered me was that even though he promised me the day of that he was not going to install the new hardwood floors (let it accumulate), he did it anyway for one of the bedroom. His excuse was that 2 of his workers ran out of things to do. Second was that he said he was going to get concrete from a truck to finish our basement (800sq ft) but we then found out hes doing it manually..claiming that its better quality and his workers had nothing to do. Well the tip of the iceberg came yesterday when he showed me a couple of tiles. Originally he said they were going to be $1.30-$1.50 each.. now hes telling me its no more than $1. What would you do in my situation? I know some of you might say why we didn’t fire him sooner than later. The positive is that he is meeting our deadline for the completion of work. Many people say whatever time frame you tell the contractor..multiple that by 2..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
