3. Seems like your contractor
has become accustomed to doing everything his way. In the remodel game as it happens,many people don't really know what they want. They have a rough idea but no mind into the details. In many cases over the years the contractor fills in all the details,-that sounds like a good idea, what do you think, what would you do, do what you think is best ,we trust your opinion, some of the things people say to the contractor. Ask the man if he has ever done any specialty work ,hand rails,ramps ,so forth for disabled persons in their home.

Light switch's for instance in some places are lowered for the person in the wheel chair. Cabinets too, door handles. Double hand rails ! The contractor learns to look at the needs of the individual!

In business by the way, and it applies to construction contractors as well, it's all about costumer satisfaction. Tell him to turn his hearing aid up! Tell him I said so!

And ask the guy why you should have to have somebody come in behind him to finish what he refuses to do ,additional rails are not a code violation of any type, so, what's the problem? Ask him why does he seemingly refuse to hear anything he does not want to hear.
