[quote=Anonymous]It goes both ways. It’s not like all contractors are bad and all customers are good or vice versa. There are bad customers and I have seen many that try and take advantage of the contractors. I say this with experience of 20+ years! Just this year I had a client that didn’t pay me the final balance because my kitchen plans showed a kitchen with 4” toe kick board one side to the other. A standard cabinet plan always does. Cabinets were installed perfectly level but her floors were 2 1/2 inch slanted from one side to the other. So she ended up with an uneven height toe kick. Even let her hire a home inspector who agreed with me in his report. She still insisted it was my job to fix it and deliver as shown on plans. That involves reframing of the house which is not the job of a kitchen remodeler. It would have cost more to get a lawyer, so I had to let it go. $12K…ya’ll! It still hurts. [/quote]
