Help -- need your advice

Major question! I have a guy replacing my drop ceiling with drywall. There were wood joists on which the drop ceiling tiles were stapled. The original ceiling was lathe and plaster. He claims he is done except the sanding and finishing, yet the ceiling does not meet the top of the wall in several places!! We're talking 1/4-inch gap or more! Granted the house was built in 1928, but still. He claims it can't be fixed and told me to get crown molding to fix. Don't have $$ for crown molding. Am I getting screwed? Besides, he's charging me $750 to do it all, take down, put up, prime and paint. Kitchen is about 12 x 20. Help please Click here to read or post comments. |
