Real Thorough Contracting Company Response
01/07/2022
After most of the work was completed, we then received a text message saying that our contract was being terminated. The reason being was that the customer did not like the tile work that our sub-contractor completed. The customer said that the tile was done incorrectly although the customer gave the direction of how they wanted it done specifically. The customer was able to see the work in real time and if they were not pleased with the work at any time they could have let us know. After we were terminated, we then learned that our sub-contractor was being asked to continue to do tile work. If our contract was being terminated, we do not understand why our sub-contractor was asked to complete the job if our work was not up to par. There was three thousand dollars left to pay on the job that our customer did not pay, with most of the work being completed.
In terms of timing, the time had to be extended to make sure it was done correctly. When the pump was added, the basement floor had to be jack hammered out and a pump had to be installed along with the plumbing. The floor had to be put back which then required additional time which would have added three weeks to the schedule. We did inform the customer that there could be a delay due to the work that had to be done. We always want to make sure that it is done correctly. Real Thorough Contractors always wants to make sure that our customers are satisfied and all work is done to the best of our ability.
