I have had very few instances where I called out someone to do something on my property. However seems that every time I do they break/tear up something while fixing what I wanted fixed.
None have offered nor have I insisted figuring that if they screwed up what they did, in fixing it they would screw up something else.
Second reason is that if you hacked them off by insisting, they would not do a repair to suit you....read between the lines on that.
I do realize that in some instances the breakage is accidental in that the person was not aware of something that could be broken in the repair process. So there is an element of accidental damage here and I can overlook some of that.
One instance of accidental was the breaking of a 12" square ceramic tile at the front door when the 250# or so carpet layer came in with a room sized roll of carpet on his shoulder. I realize that one assumes that the floor is to walk on and should support the weight. Well in this case the foundation was pier and beam and wasn't adequate. I accept blame for that since I built the house.
Second was deliberate. Hired some "guys" from a local rag sheet advertisement to level my house. After they had gone and I had paid them cash, I looked under the house and most of my termite shields had been discarded and termites are a huge problem down here. I do business with brick and mortar stores now.
So, I just do it myself or do without, but as in the two instances, somethings you can't do yourself nor without.
