Handling HALF-COCKED Contractors.......????

How do you deal with contractors in your management???  It's an art in itself, and a whole different skill aside from the landlording.....

You're LUCKY if you already have a team of trusted contractors.....

And I thought I did.....

I've used the same reputed local plumber for a bunch for my units.....

Long story SHORT, he HAD to finish the job that day but only did HALF of it, still leaking a bit after.....

The in-house engineer of the condo building tells me, he can do it for $40 bucks and he has the parts already.....

How do I go back to the old contractor, cut him off for his half-done job and handle the payment????.......
