Hi everyone,

Just wanted to get your views about my contractor..

finally selected one of the many contractors i screened as my contractor.. but now having second thots.

He is very responsive on whatsapp etc, however i think now he is actually dont know much about renovation. For example, i wanted to do a composite metal alum awning, when i showed a picture of the awning and ask him the name of the material, he dont know

same also when i wanted to build deck using composite wood pvc, when i ask what is the material, he also don't know.

for the quotation- he charge me for preparation area like cover proch with plywood and canvas, but when i checked, he didnt cover yet and just pour the sand on the porch, bricks on the grass...

for the backyard concrete tiling, i told him to do 30 X 10 ft, but when i checked yesterday, he already concrete 40 X 10 ft (mind boggling)

and it seems like he used the worker for the developer for the job.

however, he is very responsive and he apologizes and makes correction, like today he went to pickup the tiles i bought and will put the cover in place. though i dont know how he is going to rectify the additional 10 ft of concrete he laid on my backyard..

i already paid him 50 % for the job.. im wondering what should i do moving forward. i actually asked him to quote me for several more jobs such as carpentry/plaster ceiling etc.. but now i dont feel so confident.

any views ?

oh he has a company, and we signed an agreement. well anyways, he have rectified most of the things i complained about, so its manageable for now.. hoping everything to run smooth from now on
