This is 100% a painter who’s worked with this person/company before. In the contract I’m betting it says “before we paint, remove all utilities and covers from the wall, anything left will be painted”
The first six times they did the work, stuff was left up, and they spent an hour removing everything before they started. This time, they said fuck it. We told you to take it down, this is what you’re getting now.
unless they change their task rabbit account to a new name. This is the downward slide the tech gig economy is causing everywhere
Every time we had an issue with our house the HOA Karens would get into fights with us about how they can find someone on task rabbit for cheaper than the contractor we wanted to hire. Every time the work would be shit and their account would just suddenly vanish.
At least before shitty contractors had to keep registering new LLCs. Now there is literally no ramp at all to changing your business identity and paying $5 for 20 fake reviews
If I had you and you allowed me to pay you so I don’t have to learn every home repair and maintenance task myself, I’d hand over my life savings. Slight exaggeration, but not by much.
I am learning enough skills that I could eventually quit my day job and become a contractor tho…
Thats the thing. If a customer forgot to mask off an alarm panel or two not taking the 5 minutes to do it just makes you look like a fucking asshole. If they didnt mask off a bunch of stuff then you call them, tell them that either you need to add to the estimate or rebook the job.

I like to think this is the case. I’d prefer to think it was the customer who screwed this up rather than the contractor.
