Description

Zanteck said they were finished and walked (stormed?) off the job today. I expected to have a finished project, ready for paint. I don't. Holistically, the quality of the work around the sliding glass door is pretty good. The exterior siding around the door was replaced and has no obvious defects. The molding around the door looks good. The drywall that was added to replace the plaster is smooth and well done. I am impressed at how well the gap in the floor was filled and how good it looks. Things wrong with the work for the sliding glass door: I regard these issues as minor; hardly worth mentioning except that I want the keys. The bathroom work, on the other hand, is not so good. The word "terrible" comes to mind. Much of the problems were in the details, but finicky details are why bathrooms are hard, and therfore why adding an interior door was expected to cost $4000. Things wrong when they left: at the base of the new door. (About 1 inch deep and roughly 8x2 inches wide. It goes down to the subfloor.) -no threshold for the bathroom door. The vinyl flooring curls up at the edge. (A wide enough threshold would have fixed this and the previous problem also.) - -hung backwards from the agreed-upon direction. (Right-hand open vs left-hand open) This is particularly puzzling because Zanteck convinced us to do it left-hand-open, and they must have gone to extra trouble to exchange the doors after we (my wife and I) agreed they were correct. -1-inch-wide gap is just filled with smoothed-out caulk. Two tiles at the top corner are now cracked and no longer flat to the wall. (The other tiles at the corner were also broken for no obvious reason -- they were fine after demolition but were broken during door installation ?!) - - -despite being asked not to do so. (We provided a small medicinie cabinet for that purpose.)
