Hi folks,
I've got a bathroom / master bedroom remodel going on, work performed by professionals (NOT ME!).
Mostly everything looks great so far, but they just started painting and a couple carpentry things are standing out like sore thumbs to me, now that trim paint has gone on, that I hardly noticed before. My question to this august assembly is, are these defects to be corrected, or simply par for the course for the type of work being done.
The big one is that I had crown molding installed. My walls are NOT perfectly straight, so it's not necessarily an easy job. Three corners came out perfectly. One looks like this:
Then, the lateral joins in the molding are clearly visible after painting:
I saw these things before paint went on, but for the lateral joins I assumed they were to be sanded down (and nail holes properly filled) before painting, to minimize how they stand out. That didn't happen.
For the corner, I knew full well it was off, but the guy that did the molding did an absolutely amazing job with the tile in the bathroom and I tried to look past the corner, but after paint went on (well, partially on, they aren't done yet), it stands out so clearly.
I've not really had a professional remodel done before, so I don't know if these are defects I should complain about for a fix, or simply par for the course for this type of work.
Before I get things in a twist, I'd appreciate your feedback.
Thanks guys!
Marc
