So it turns out that it’s not a bad idea to wait until AFTER the work is done for payment when hiring a contractor. As long as they already have your money, you’re at their mercy, but if you haven’t paid yet, they get the job done right or they don’t get paid. Ah, if only we could go back in time. It probably would have avoided a lot of unnecessary stress with our whole carpet fiasco.
