Don't scare LZ...$100 for his paint work is fair...
If I understand it correctly, the main concern of him right now is the yellowish watermarks on the ceiling are not removed after repairing...The contractor did not apply stain blocking primer before painting..
LZ, you should DIY a bit if you want to be a "landlord"...Doesn't matter if you don't know how to change the wax ring, that's "technical". But for the paint job, you should have fixed it already considering the time you spent on this thread..
Go to any professional paint store, buy the stain blocking primer (bottled, spary like one), apply it on the stain area, then paint..

本来不想跟吵架的帖。但是看大家吵了半天,都对plumbing这行的价钱没一点概念。我的一个白人朋友在多论多一个卖kitchen and bath材料店当经理。他们卖材料同时也做contractor工作。跟我聊过在这个帖里涉及的活的价钱。喷一个客厅的麻点顶蓬(popcorn ceiling)$1,500刀,即使修一巴掌大的地方,至少$500刀。而且contractor不主张搞小面积的,因为要防止喷到别处,有很复杂的防护。
开一个一英尺见方的洞在天花板上,修理好漏水的水管,再卜好。我的朋友还是平顶子,花了$1,400刀。我自己修二楼shower,地漏漏水。打了一圈电话,报价$800刀到$3,000刀。$800刀那位只管修地漏,不管修复墙壁(drywall和瓷砖)。而且三星期后才能干。我无奈自己花了不到$100刀材料费用,在我朋友和儿子的帮助下, 用了两个周末修好了。干完我自己都说,给我$1,000刀以下,我都不给人做。太难了。
而且plumber的规矩都是$70-99刀出诊费(还没听说过修不好不收费的好事. 再说管道活只要不停地拆,不停地换,没有修不好的。只有主人怕花钱太多, 半道不想修了。所以费用照收),上门来家看看就$100刀,周末更贵。不论你修不修都收费。而且你要说明报保险公司,价格加倍。反正保险公司花钱,不要白不要。大家可以想想, 和这帖里的情况比一比。
