Pressure Washers
This is my first large experience with contractors. I guess like any contractor you have to stay on top of everything. When we initially spoke with with the project manager we said we wanted any siding pieces replaced that were rotten or damaged. We pointed out any initial spots we knew of, but also said they were likely to find additional pieces as they would have a better eye for these things. Also additional damaged areas may crop up after pressure washing that weren't previously easily seen. Near the end I crawled on the roof and took photos all around the house to show the project manager and point out I just want everything that is rotten to be swapped out. Pros: * good work on siding * friendly workers * good communication with the painters themselves Cons: * I'll need to do some scraping and repaint a few places ( bubbling up and or peeling already) * I was out of town and told "The East Atlanta Painting Company" ( EAPC ) multiple times to contact my wife and update the email/phone number on the account and they never did. She gave them her phone number and email when contracting the job. * we were quoted over the phone for additional chimney work $1,900 then that changed to $2,100 via email ok sure sure maybe had a few hangups or job was harder than first look. The final quote was $2,400 !? that 500$ difference ? my wife talked them back down to 2100. Please pick a price and stick with it, or at least be able to back up the charges * I had to spoon feed them and stay on top of the siding people and the painters. More so the siding. We had a 1in hole basically 3 stories up (ya I know it high ) but I had to say something about it like 2-3 times before it was done. My wife also said something about it. * Since we were under the understanding that pieces that were damaged were going to be replaced, we thought the carpenters would find and replace everything that would be needed and I wouldn't have to go around the house poking around and finding rotten siding after they thought they were done because not everything was written up in the original quote. Yes, we understood if something totally out of scope would cost extra (like the chimney which was a mess and required its own quote), but apparently if it's not specifically written out in the initial quote they're reluctant to do the work. If it's going to cost a few extra bucks, we can talk about it and get it done. So my take away from this is, be sure to go over with the project manager any and all problems that you are aware of and specifically what work needs to be done.
