Firstly, it appears that there has been a lack of attention to detail, particularly in ensuring that furniture and fans are appropriately covered. Despite my reminders, I feel that his responsiveness has been inadequate.
The work commenced on 25th November, and even after multiple requests to finalize the color by 29th November, the contractor has continually provided excuses, such as forgetting the color catalogue, we have a lot of time to finalize the color.
Additionally, I am concerned about the pricing transparency. For the tile painting (Not included in Quotation), Mr. Mohammad included costs for normal painting, which encompasses two putty, two primer, and two paint applications. However, for the tile painting, only one primer and two paint applications were required. During the painting process, he suggested tile painting. After calling Berger Paint customer care on 7th December, I got to know Berger doesn't provide tile painting service. On 7th December, the contractor asked me to pay an extra 8000 rupees (not included in quotation price 44, 304.00 rupees) for tile painting and loft tank area, claiming that I needed to pay that to Berger Paint as extra material cost. My question is who will take the guarantee of tile painting? There is a lack of transparency. If Berger Paint does not provide tile painting service, why would the contractor suggest tile painting using the same Berger material?
On December 9th, Mr. Saleem Shaikh visited my home to address my complaint related to Lead ID - LD[protected]. During his visit, he recorded all the issues I raised against the contractor, Salman Mohammad. The following day, both Mr. Saleem and the contractor inspected my property again.
It was brought to my attention that Berger Paint does not cover tile painting or loft tank area painting in their service offerings. Consequently, the contractor calculated the areas for these additional works and provided a quotation amounting to Rs. 9, 158. However, I want to highlight that the Lead ID referenced in this quotation was 6592. When I contacted Berger Paints customer care, they confirmed that only Lead ID - LD[protected] is reflected in their system and no such quotation linked to my mobile number or email exists.
I strongly believe that this quotation is fraudulent, as it was generated without proper documentation in the Berger Paint system. Moreover, the contractor failed to inform me that tile and loft tank area paint services are not provided by your company, which raises concerns of transparency and honesty in the service.
Additionally, I requested a detailed email outlining the areas, including square footage, of the work undertaken in my home. However, I only received a response where Mr. Saleem mentioned a warranty letter, without including crucial details or the linked Lead ID. It's also worth noting that the contractor was excluded from this correspondence, creating further confusion about accountability regarding the warranty.
