Default Workmanship Question - Legal rights

I like that: The OP should be happy he got a good insulation job, despite
the fact that the installer trashed his entire house doing it.

I'm guessing he would save just as much money in energy savings, with an
installation that didn't trash his house

Hired an insulation company to put foam insulation in my walls. The

Long story short, he drilled 20 holes through the wall in one bedroom all
the way through, 15 holes thorough the bathroom wall popping off the
ceramic
tiles on the inside walls, drilled through 4 side wall registers, and one
other place in the walls. They want to come fix it using the same guy
that
messed it up. I am not comfortable with this response. I know they tile
will
not be able to be matched as it is 50 years old. Can I demand they retile
the entire bathroom so the tile matches? Any ideas what my legal rights
are
with this situation. Can I demand that they pay for a competent company
to
make the repairs?

from buffalo ny: if you have been damaged in dollars, why not try come
to a repair or dollar settlement agreement in a meeting with the
insulation company owner and the competent repair company owner you
both agree on using when the insulation company is done filling the
cavities?
if you look at this as if it is a first dent in the outside of your
brand new car, you know you don't get to replace the whole car
interior for free.
you will be able to pay for a bathroom remodel out of your own pocket
someday using some energy dollars your insulation purchase has saved
you.
a lawyer may not be the tile expert you want him to be.
