help- is my decorator just about to ruin my livingroom???
hi I was just saying to the decorator that i have been nervous to get the room wallpapered as the paper is expensive and i was worried it would get mucked up ( this was my way of saying to him "do a good job") and he then covered his back by saying.."well some papers look great when they first go on and then when they dry they open along the joins ( gaps in the seams) but that is certain types of paper so it wouldn't be my fault, you'd have to get intouch with the manufacturers"
I said "oh now i really AM nervous"
Do you think maybe he is just quite bad and is covering his back or do you think he is genuine...
Trouble is ..i won't have the guts to tell him to just forget about doing it...he is painting the ceiling at the moment and hasn't started with the paper..
oh keep your fingers crossed for me!
what do you think?
I think "knowitall" has a great answer because it touches on what others have said AND it offers a great way to deal with your issue:
First, most decorators I know of will do stuff personally IF they excel at it or have been doing it for a long time (like painting, wallpapering, upholstering). Any decorator who is worth their merit, however, will admit when they DON'T know what they're doing and hire a sub-contractor to come in and do the job properly. It will end up raising their fee (to cover the cost of the sub-con), but you will be sure to get a quality job done in the end.
If the paper IS high quality and is applied with the appropriate adhesive (which would be specified by the manufacturer... whom YOUR DECORATOR should call and talk to, not you), then there is no reason that the paper should start coming apart at the seams as soon as it's dry.
One thing: I will make allowance for your decorator putting the responsibility back on you IF, and only IF, YOU were the one who had picked out the paper before you even hired him to do the job. BUT, if this paper is one of the wall coverings that HE suggested, and you chose it because of his suggestion... then HE needs to do the footwork and research necessary to ensure proper installation. That's what you're PAYING him for.
Like "knowitall" said... if he can't offer you some sort of happy compromise (like, if it DOES peel, I'll be happy to remove it and just paint your walls in a color of your choice free of charge), get someone else. Don't allow sentimentality slip in where a business deal is involved. This is your hard-earned money that you are spending to improve an expensive asset: your home. It is perfectly reasonable for you to expect the job to be done well.
Good luck.
