AITA I think I am getting ripped off but I'd like another opinion. [View all]
The total cost to paint my front door with primer is $418 of which I paid half so far
The guy that started to fix it, (he moved in here in exchange for fixing some things - not a good idea) sprayed stuff that makes the paint peal and then he used some sort of tool/machine to take the door down all the way to the metal. I didn't realize the handle was completely ruined until a few days ago which is when I went to the store and got one with the numbers that you punch in
Anyway the guy from the new place came by today and he did a very good job. But I had not realized until a couple days ago that the nut that started the job also sprayed the handle with that pain peeler and it is ruined. So I asked the guy today if he could put on the new lock and handle. (I got one of those ones where you just stick the numbers in. It is not connected to the WIFI or any camera. He said he didn't have the correct tools so would have to come back.
So I just got a call from the owner, (who lives very close to me) and he was complaining that I did not tell them sooner.........and want to charge me an extra $80 to come by with the "proper" tools to fix it, (He mentioned that he gets $150/hour also when explaining to me)
At this point I am getting really mad so I just said I had to get off the phone and think about it.
Why do they have to nickle and dime me here??? Apparently you have to drill another hole or 2 for this new lock. I just sent him the remaining $208 which is 1/2 of the total $418.
I'm pissed that they want to charge me another $80 to drill a damn hole and I'm thinking about asking the guy next door who told me about these things. I'm sure it won't take but a few minutes
