Another wasted dollar

[madmike]

Actually more than that, we have house painters today and I walk upstairs into my den office to see that there is paint all over my desk and monitor. It is not coming off so I think I will be out of the game world for a while. What is up with contractors being so lazy to not tarp before they paint?

That's crappy...I'd call them. They should have to pay for that. Hopefully they are insured and can take care of it. Sorry to hear about that. What a nice way to end a Tuesday...

I am with Jstep and I would be holding that last check until it was either cleaned off or replaced. There is no sense in that kind of laziness. My husband was a painter for years and it was always in the contract who was responsible for moving and or covering the furniture. Have you tried googling how to get it off? I am sure someone has run into this before.

I had to do similar with a yard guy we hired once, he had one of those large machines that can cut down brush work to almost nothing. It was kind of like a riding tiller but it was huge. He ended up running it directly into my car and thankfully he was insured, he apologized a great deal but I still remember it happening in slow motion.

I have never had to remove paint from an LCD screen, but I have had to remove pen and marker...more than once. I just used an alcohol pad for those though. House paint might be a little more tricky!

That stinks! Did you find a way to get the paint off or call the contractor to have them replace it? I know I would have given them an ear full if that had happened at my house.

I come from a family of painters and we never let anything like that happen! I agree with WannaPlay about holding that last check until they fix all the damages, or subtracting replacement cost from the final check, either way.
