Fixing up bad quality caulking
I have just had my small bathroom professionally resurfaced (wall tiles & bath). The company I chose I did lots of research on, although the outcome has left me pretty disappointed. I'm not prepared to have them return to fix anything due to quality of work & taking 11 days to finish a small 3 day job (with their representative/franchisee continuously cancelling on me).
Any advice on how I may be able to fix up very poor quality caulking (hope I've used the right word) and other product they've over sprayed in numerous areas.
Quality of caulking that has unfortunately been used on top of sprayed tiles (some of it inches wide)
Photo below is how the wall directly opposite the bathroom has been left.
A sample of how the hub of the shower has been painted
An example of the quality of the spray. I will be contacting the company's head office first thing tomorrow. It certainly has been left looking a mess.
Chunk of paint taken off when finalising job yesterday, so they covered it with caulking
Overspray on existing floor tiles...

Help! New house... Bad kitchen!!
Comments (32). Its just way too much timber! So the floor should stay, because its harder to change. Start by definitely at least pull out the part of the kitchen with the weird enclosed fridge space. that really cramps the room. Then pull of and replace the cabinet doors and the laminate bench top. pick some amazing tiles and have your husband work his magic! Paint the walls a nice colour to really make the space look more vibrant. Get rid of those horrible blinds completely! We are doing out kitchen up and we don't have much money or skills or access to tradespersons anyway. So we are keeping it to a minimum. Do it little by little. We started with a new stove with really changed the feel of the room. We plan to just paint the cabinets....See MoreShould I rent or buy? Help!
Comments (38)lots and lots of good comments. but it all depends on your goal. i recommend to my young clients to very clearly identify what your goal is ie. just moving out for fun, to live in to next, to create financial security and to have your mo ey work hard for you. And the earlier you start, the better. So, My people start on a planned path that steps them through the process to get to their goals. so, for you, you have to consider the current economy and laws, and your financial situation. At the end of the day, you must buy the right property in the right area at the right price and theres ways of working this out easily. Remember, buying and investment property is about one thing only: Money. And if it isnt makingyou money eitber by capital growth or rent do t do it....See MoreRe-staining my mother's 1985 cedar siding house. Help!
Comments (8)Ahh, JEC, I did not realize I was Australia! Very sorry! Yes, I'm in US.(wish I was there sometimes, especially since 11/2016). Anyway, so oklouise tried to help me but I assumed she was here and then I was wondering where she shopped for materials that actual, knowledgeable and experienced advisors! Sorry about that Mrs. Oklouise! I appreciate the help too. It was only a small part of it I didnt quite understand and that's simply because oklouise is not here. I am positive if she was, she'd adapt to the ways and how they do things here. So, come on over mrs oklouise! You're welcome anytime! Siriuskey, yes they "paint" the cedar here, but they use solid color stain so it looks like paint. I am positive though that there are cedar built things with actual paint. But that's really a no-no with cedar. After it gets older, some transition to semi transparent stain, then, when even older they go to solid colored stain. Wish I was a pilot! mpilot1 was made for me by my company years and years ago as their name had the word pilot in it; since they already had a "marc" there when I started, they gave me marcpilot1. They've since closed(after 40 years), since I had had it for so long at that point, I took the name/address with me. Think I should put some of the after pics up, like when I finally finish this project for mother? Thx again for all help, especially oklouise! God Bless....See MoreNew Build Inspections Victoria
Comments (3)If the build is being project managed by architects that are employed by the building company then it won't be in their interest to draw your attention to any issues. Your building surveyor will only assess against the building regulations, not the quality of the build and finish. I would consider engaging an independent professional, possibly a local architect, to complete an inspection a week before each progress payment is due. In this way you can notify the builder of any concerns that need to be addressed before the progress payment is issued. However your builders have control of your site and don't need to allow a third party (such as an independent architect) access to complete an inspection. At the end of the day you have a building contract with a building company and they don't need to do anything that is requested by a third party who is outside the building contract, so your options are limited. It looks like you have discovered one of the risks of design/build contracts, so I hope that it all goes smoothly for you, Regards Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls...See More- 9 years agolast modified: 9 years ago
