![]() presents proposals and collects the cheques) and I later found out that he often has 20+ jobs on the go at once. The business owner didn't complete any of the work himself. An estimated 8 week, 6 digit reno turned into a 22+ week job which I paid in full despite being unhappy with the painting (the easiest part of the job!). Note: There was no love loss by the end of the job. ![]() In my opinion, it's a valid callback, but I just wondered what people in the business thought. Should I be requesting another call back given that the job is under warranty until October OR should I just try to fix it myself and avoid bickering with the contractor? (see "notes" below) Any advice related to this caulking repair would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for talking the time to read my post. Is this the correct procedure? Would I have to prime and repaint the crown molding in that area so the caulking repair isn't visible? Unfortunately the most visible gap in the crown molding is smack dab along the main wall when you walk into the living room so it's very noticeable and cannot be ignored. Smooth the bead of caulking with a wet finger.Push caulking into the gap using a caulking gun.If so, what grit of sand paper should I use? Sand the seam lightly where the caulking has formed a rough edge.(2) If the contractor refuses to do a call back and I have to do the repair on my own, should I: Note: Installing the crown molding was part of a major main floor home reno so the contractor made a good money off of the job. ![]() Repair the caulking again given that the job is under warranty until the end of October? Personally, I think it is. (1) Is it "fair/reasonable" to call the contractor for a second "call back" to Some of the caulking has been pushed out of the seam and it's created a rough 3D edge along the seam so now I have empty gaps and rough edges along the seam where the caulking was forced out.įrom my limited understanding, gaps in the crown molding are going to be an ongoing problem with the changes in seasons (house humidity is fine) so this is something that I am going to have to eventually deal with on my own once the job is out of warranty (that should be interesting because I'm the least handy person ever lol). My contractor came back once to repair the gaps in the crown molding, but the wood has expanded in the heat and the gaps are showing in the crown molding seams again. I posted a comment earlier this year and some of you offered me some great advice so I'm back again to seek your advice. I had crown molding installed last year (early summer 2014) and the crown moulding has shrunk and expanded with the changes in weather, humidity, etc.
