Renovation work must be completed in a workmanlike manner
All work on an FHA 203k project must be completed in a professional workmanlike manner. Here is a photo of an eave vent that was to be replaced... is it completed in a professinal workmanlike manner? I think not.
This home had 2 x 6 rafters and 5.25" x 22" eave vents were installed. This contractor wanted to replace them per the scope of work but he used a 3.25" x 22" eave vent intended for use on a 2 x 4" rafter.
He didn't find anything wrong with this installation but finally agreed to replace it once he realized no payment was ever going to be made till it was corrected.
To think that this contractor had been "validated" by the lender. Of course it was not one of our regular contractors and with this installation would likely never be allowed onto our permanent and recommended contractor list.
All he did was place an inferior size eave vent over the top of the original vent. Yuk!
