Manning Plastering

Sep 8th, 2018

We had Jamie come out initially to give us an estimate on a small drywall repair job, to fix an area where a soffit was removed and patch a few holes in the ceiling where lights were removed. He also quoted us to paint the ceiling but in the end, we decided to use someone else for the painting part. While he did a very good job repairing the drywall and matching the textured ceiling, I was quite surprised at the end when he charged me almost double the original price he verbally quoted me ($900 instead of $500) for the drywall portion. When I questioned him, I was told it was because his original price factored in the painting, and that his hourly rate was now much higher for just the drywall portion. The problem is that none of that was relayed to me ahead of time, even though I let him know in advance that we would no longer need him for painting. So while I was satisfied with his work (hence the two stars), I was not satisfied with being charged almost double the original price and the lack of communication regarding that change.
