Do all men ignore the details?

I have a guy working for me to put doors and windows in my house. They are put in ok I suppose but the trim work and caulking is atrocious. He says the curtains should cover most of the trim on the windows. Plus he's cheap and doesn't want to spend money on getting the best products. There's paint on the wall, cement splatter on the doors and one door he reused my old trim.
Every man I've hired has been like this for years. I'm so sick of men. I know there are exceptions but I'm over it.

You get what you pay for

@pdockal I'm paying him 1000.00 more than a professional because he's my best friends husband. And he told me he just as good as one. Learned my lesson.

@melissa001

if you are paying him extra ..... then you need to hold him to a higher standard & demand perfection
I hope you didnt pay in full

@pdockal I paid him 3/4 of the money. It's been more than a month since he started and will still take a few days next week. The house has been in shambles everyday. And the dust is unbelievable, but the worse part is that he has dropped paint and caulking on the floor and on the walls. And every the door and the window don't even look brand new. But I'm just want him gone. I can fix anything he's done and better.

@pdockal too late for that. I'm just glad I know a thing to two about a lot of things and can fix his mistakes.
