every time i deal with one of these guys that disappoint me, i tell myself that i should go back to doing these things myself. i know how to do them and have done lots of projects, but i am trying to get away from that.J Scott is right, but he is saying it becuase he has a great crew that he could rely on. most of us are not in that boat and struggle to find good help/people.i am just lucky that the guy i was using finished the windows. otherwise, it would have slowed me down a week until i found someone else that could do the job. the last thing i wanted is to change conractors in the middle of the project.btw, his bill came and some of the prices are inflated. some are new items that we never discussed. i think he thinks i will not notice. he even left money on the table since he had the chance to finish 1-2 slabs of driveway concrete for $1k, and will not come back. there are many mistakes/gross imperfections with the drywall he did, as well as he did not cleaned up AT ALL after himself, so i will be reducing the amount i pay him. the truth is i just wanted to reassure myself that i was doing the right thing by deciding it's time to part ways. that was the reason of this thread.

I wonder if a coating like that would still show the wide variety of imperfections below.

Ironically, the very people who oppose this notion are the ones also oppose any government support for those "Imperfect humans"

I did have to paint it, but it won't rot and it allowed me to hide edge fit imperfections.

You may expose come imperfections in the drywall, so you then have some mudding to do.I think one person can do 1000 sf a day.  

It would be fun to break it down by state, by balance range, by vintage.There is a lot of imperfection iin this nichr.

New hardware really works wonders to make an old kitchen look modern.Neutral colors such as greige and grey seem to have the most mass appeal and do well to hide minor imperfections.

Durability of vinyl with the thickness to cover minor floor imperfections, suitable for bathrooms and has in 18 months shown zero signs from my German Shepard running around on it, where h.d. brand vinyl has been noticeably scratched by  dog nails.

we do the the low visibility bedrooms especilly if they are not as nice wood , pine or a a lower quality oak where you are going to have imperfections.

The imperfections on the concrete give it character.
