I would sure as F hope they were professional to leave someone's house the way they found it. If they fix it themselves or call in a sub, people expect these "pros" to complete the job, or at the very least, tell the people up front that they plan on leaving a big mess for them to deal with themselves. ESPECIALLY with the prices some of these guys charge today.
I'm quite sure that it will be written on the estimate ( drywall repairs and paint will be done by others )that is signed by the customer before any work is done. Do you really want the plumber , electrician, roofer or other tradesman doing drywall repairs and match the paint in that wall or walls in your home or business?
This is off Angies list website,
Dear Christina: You ask a good, and common, question. The short answer is that you probably don’t want an
electrician or
plumber fixing a hole in your wall — it’s not their specialty.
My experience is that most plumbers and electricians who’ve earned top ratings from Angie’s List members don’t build this kind of repair work into their bids. They focus on their core competency. Some may repair very small holes, but will likely include that in their bid.
This is something you should talk with your service pro about before you sign a contract or make a hire.
