Last year, we had our roof redone and the whole thing turned into a bit of a headache. We signed the contract thinking it'd be straightforward, you know, they'd start on a certain date and finish by another. Well, turns out the dates were a lot more flexible than we thought... like wayyy more flexible, lol. They started late because of weather (fair enough), but then there were random pauses in between where no one showed up for days. Every time I called, they gave me vague answers about scheduling conflicts or waiting on materials.
In the end, the job got done, and it looks good, but it was like pulling teeth to get clear info on when exactly they'd be working. Has anyone else run into this kinda thing with roofing jobs or home improvement projects? Curious if it's just my luck or if this is pretty common.
We just had our bathroom remodeled, and honestly, your experience sounds pretty familiar. We had a detailed timeline mapped out, but it quickly became more of a "guideline" than anything else... delays kept popping up with little explanation. I started keeping a daily log of who showed up, what got done, and any reasons given for delays—helped me feel more in control. Did you try anything similar to track progress, or did you mostly just rely on their updates?
