It was a small wallpaperinstallation job, but Marie was willing and did a great job!

So the wallpaperinstallation in my new laundry by Jon came out pretty subpar. The defects I show in the photos are the result of the wall not being prepped properly. Jon told me this after I complained to him about these and other similar defects. He's correct but this answer is not acceptable. Jon should have told me that the wall was not prepped properly before he sealed those defects under the wallpaper. Actually, Jon should have prepped the wall, a light sanding would have fixed it. Now I either have to remove the wallpaper or leave it and live with the defects. I have since learned that Jon is not a licensed wallpaperinstaller. He is a handyman who applies wallpaper to walls and he assumes the prep work has already been done by someone else. So Caveat Emptor.
My other beef is with Thumbtack. Jon was recommended by Thumbtack. His reviews were all good, though they were few in number. This is the second Caveat Emptor. I guess I’ve learned two lessons from this project. I’m now using a licensed wallpaperinstaller who is a WIA member and guarantees his work.
