Demolition Cleanup Details
I have a dumb question.
I hired someone to do some major demolition involving pulling out sheetrock, wood paneling, removal of mirrors, tiles etc... I specified in the contract that everything needs to be "bloomed clean" and "disposed", and for the most part it is, and I don't have a problem with that. However, whenever 2x4s are pulled out from the wall, or sheet rock pulled down from the ceiling or wall, or wood paneling removed from concrete block walls, there are tons of staples, nails, screws still on the furring strip, or studs or concrete walls. They cannot stay there if I hire someone to hang new sheetrock they will have to get them out or cut them off. I would assume they should have been removed as part of demolition, right? It is not explicitely stated in the contract but I wonder if this is typical or usual customary. I am talking about over 1000 SF of ceiling with these every 8 inches or so, and many wall surfaces. Who is responsible to take them out? Should this be included as part of demo? I would think so but I thought I asked before I complain about it. Thanks, MC |
