I’m disappointed with the poor quality of the job and the care that Filip took with my house. Some of the issues:
- Uneven and spongy floor on several areas. One of the points was to level the floor where needed, but was not done.
- Cracking floorboards under the laminate because they were not screw down or glued to mitigate the noise (this is really disturbing!).
- Planks damaged before or during the installation, and that couldn’t be replaced later apparently.
- End joints in adjacent rows of plank staggered by as little as 7cm, when the recommended distance is 30cm minimum (planks are 1.2m long).
- Used same laminate plank pattern for adjacent positions.
- Damaged walls (specially corners), and ceilings. Not good at all considering ceilings had been just skimmed and painted, and walls just painted.
- Big gaps between skirting board and laminate on some areas, up to 8mm.
- Did not clean properly after him, and left the waste inside the house.
- Did not respect the 10mm clearance with the walls, on several areas laminate were in contact with the wall! This was corrected after my request.
- Left the laminate stair nosing above the original lip. This was corrected after my request.
- Left a big gap between the laminate and the baluster that pretended to fill with silicone. This was corrected after my request.
I tried to contact him some time after payment to look just at one of the issues, and he never responded.
Now I need to get someone else to fix this.
