The job cost $4,700. It sadly ended in a lawsuit, which I won. To date, Mr. L. has continued to ignore all requests to honour the judgment, necessitating further action.
As he needed to move all furniture to other rooms, I had to stay at a hotel for what Mr. L. said could take up to four, then five days. He took eight, costing me an additional $619. to the hotel.
When he invited me to see the work, the room was a mess. The floor was blotchy, unevenly sanded, part-glossy and part-dull. The walls were sloppily unfinished and paint spattered the floor's edges.
Mr. L. defended his work, claiming it could be fixed by touch-ups and that it "brightened things up", despite a ruined floor.
I'd paid L. a $1500. deposit, at which time we agreed to his demand of the remainder in cash, on completion. Three days later he provided a receipt - handwritten, and with no business i.d.
With a neighbour/witness I found damage to furniture, while replacing the rest. We photographed this, along with the walls and damaged floor. Trash was found atop fridge, on the balcony and elsewhere. Personal belongings were so strewn across floors one could no longer fully enter the bedroom.
I paid another contractor $5, 106. to redo the work, and $1,182 for five more hotel days. The work of the second contractor was superb in contrast.
Mr. L. ignored all requests for amicable settlement, from my legal representative. A Small Claims Court lawsuit was filed (also ignored) and on June 30, 2021, a judge awarded me $7,500. after reviewing the evidence, including photographs of Mr. L.'s workmanship.
