OK- I put this in the wedding section because I knew I would get good truthful answers. And the fact that I really have a new relationship with these people- I though more brides would be more connected with the idea of the question.
We were in a jam and need a licensed contractor. We hired my sister inlaws boss/friend and it was OK. The guy was nice and let us side on stuff and do some of our own work. We are binded by this werid HUD loan. Well, due to some buying out and the pity of an inspector- we have been released from the loan and do NOT need a contractor with insurance anymore. The guy did very little work and charged us 5 grand. So now that we are FREE we don’t to use him anymore. He did a bad job on the a lot of the work and a half ars job on my drywall. We ended up redoing a lot of the work. We promised him the a kitchen job but he wanted $1,500 and we found a master cabinet maker who will only charge $1,000 and his work is amazing. Plus I am scared to have this guy touch my $2600 sink.
The issue is- My husband sister thinks this guy is a handyman GOD- and she keeps talking about how the work WAS so great that he did and he barely charged us Anything. Plus she goes ON about all the hard work he and she did for us (she filled out two forms). I can’t use the cheaper excuse because he’ll just lower his price.
How do I excuse this contractor without damaging my relationship with my sister in law?
We ripped out the cabinets- we did the clean and up haul away. We bought them ourselves and did everything ourselves. I am not down playing anything- this other guy DID nothing!
We just need someone to install them- period.
