Good advice. $200 for touchup, and the idea the paint is coming off
because it rained are outrageous. I would find out if the guy has a
license. If he does, have a talk about placing a complaint with the
city/county licensing board (or whoever the powers=that-be are in Miami).
If he does not take care of it to your satisfaction, send a written
complaint to the licensing agency and consider taking him to small claims
for the whole price of the job.

We have contractors who follow every legal requirement, do very good work,
and have to compete with these clowns who don't live by any rules.

Chalk under the paint film is there only because the prep was bad. No
paint will stick to it, and your painter knows that.

Thanks. I will check with BM and see what they say.

However, the contractor is reluctant to do any "free work" as he calls it.
He said the paint can fail due to hundreds of reasons and many of those are
beyond his control...I don't think there is any hope that I will be able to
get him to fix it, and if I pay him more, he will just pile another bad job
on one that is already bad.

Question now is what I need to do to repair this. Do I pressure wash the
wall again and have it repainted? Or can I spot treat?

Thanks,

MC
