Our Contractor Likes His Walls Crooked
When we pointed out this crooked wall in the bathroom, our contractor, F J Smith Contracting, said our place was old and the walls weren't straight. Problem is, this is a new wall.
And yes, F J Smith Contracting scratched glass tiles when installing them as well.

How Not to Caulk a Skylight
Francis Smith placed caulk on top of the plastic so no seal was made where the skylight meets the wall. You can see the gap between the caulk and leftover plastic. Where is Mike Holmes when you need him?
Skylight Leaks
Water leaking from the skylight onto the floor. We could be on the "Holmes on Homes" show.
What happens when a professional contractor uncovers sloppy, dangerous and even illegal home renovations? Watch Mike Holmes tear it down and Make it Right® in this gritty award-winning television series.
Holmes on Homes™ has been the #1 show on HGTV Canada since the summer of 2004. The show is also internationally syndicated airing in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Germany and South Africa.
Glass Tiled Bathroom
Water in the shower seeps through the tile grout and settles in the wall behind the tile. After two weeks of not using the shower, this picture was taken showing that the tiles were not drying and the grout was still wet.
A Sample of Recent Contracting Work
Here are some results from work done by F J Smith Contracting. These are pictures of the damage from a leak which originated in the Master Bathroom and traveled two floors down into the basement. The pictures show water dripping out of a ceiling light fixture, paint bubbling and peeling off the wet ceiling. This was the second leak as a result of renovation work done in the Master Bathroom. Here is the first leak:
Water poured through the ceiling light fixture in the kitchen and onto the kitchen counter when the Master Shower was used.
Needless to say, that morning's shower was cut short.
