It's a wonderful feeling to hire a contractor and find that the work they do surpasses all expectations.
Last week, I hired a contractor to finish and texture the ceiling in our kitchen and dining room. I am absolutely impressed both by his excellent workmanship, and his high standards. Not only did he complete the work faster than he initially planned, he suggested some other small fixes and completed them all within the original timeframe. Our kitchen now only needs the flooring installed and a fresh coat of paint to make it a fully completed remodel.
It's unfortunate that meeting expectations is something we hope for, and not something we can count on. The work done last week was such a vast departure from the last contractors we hired (aargh, don't even get me started on that one) that I am contemplating writing a letter to our local paper to get the work out about the great service we received. I'm a believer in promoting businesses that maintain high standards, and this one definitely impressed me.
