@Stephen Lynch looks like it would be difficult to set up and scaffold properly hence allot of labor cost. Is the chimney in need of repair or are you just trying to change the appearance?

@Melanie Liu I would be susprised if there are any legit builders left that have not added material price increase clauses to their contracts. The last year has definitely brought out the need for that and I would expect they will stay in the contracts for a long time.

@Jona Santiago from what im hearing you were aware that you would be short on the needed quantity material? Was there any kind of understanding as to what boards were or were not be used?

I guess a few ways to look at it is would you be happy if he would have rejected half the boards because they were not grade A and you had to buy more?

Another thought is does it actually matter as far as functionality (shedding water) of the siding or is it only the appearance you have concerns about?

Depending on the neighborhood it may not be worth the extra cost of new boards if the existing are doing the job as I bet a lot of people will not even notice. Its difficult for me to tell by the pictures but quality of materials can have a HUGE impact on the finish product. Contractor may have assumed since you were willing to use the material in the backyard you would not be as concerned about appearance.

Personally I hate installing materials I do not have control of selecting and have walked away from projects as it is not worth the heartache of missed expectations.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

@Jona Santiago im not sure what cracks you are referring to but could the quality of material have something to do with it?

@Ernie Kidder id the county or state requiring you to enlarge septic for adding two bedrooms. Even if it would be sized for a 5 bedroom you are now adding two more. Here in our area we are generally allowed an extra bedroom to be added and im sure there are plenty that have more.

If its working correctly wouldnt worry to much about it. Most newer septics could handle much more then what is hooked up to them.

Septics should be sized accordung to how many showers are taken😁

This sounds like a good question for a tv show !

@Gaurav Mehta this is what in our area is generally called a brokerage admin fee or I also seen it as a technology fee. I have recently joined a small brokerage where we dont have either charge. Our only compensation is the commission.

The ree-lu-ter thing is a pet peeve of mine. No I'm not a licensed realtor lol

Note: In IN we only require 2 years to become a broker.
