Is it just me, or has quality of products and workmanship gone downhill?
Consider this:
1.Five months ago, we had a new sink installed, and the bronze finish is already peeling off of the drains.
2.The landscapers who did our yard two years ago put berms in front of our foundation and crammed trees together (in order to charge us for more, presumably). I was too naïve at the time to know better!
3.We had new cabinets installed three months ago in our laundry room, and the finish is peeling.
4.We had vertical blinds installed two years ago, and the plastic clips holding them up keep losing their grip and breaking. The blinds themselves are really suceptible to their paint chipping. A local window covering place installed them, and the blinds are the Hunter Douglas brand. We spend $2500 to get three windows covered.
5.We hired some self-proclaimed “professionals” to do our interior painting, and to this day I keep finding new nasty suprises—wall paint splattered on the trim,
6.We hired a roofer to replace the plastic vents on our roof with metal ones. He installed them by nailing straight through the shingles. We didn’t realize this until other roofers came and looked at our roof for an unrelated problem.
Does nobody take pride in their work anymore? Do they just not care because they don’t live here and they just want my check?
And on a more practical note, is it too late to call these people two years after the fact? I would think that they should stand behind the job they did…..right?
