I'd like to add to my earlier post that unevenly compound-covered seams and wavy, bumpy or unevenly sanded surfaces are problems that some can live with given the savings. I for one don't mind doing my own compounding but the extra repair work sometimes involved, and then repriming, when final painting is anticipated could be more than some are willing to endure. Defects in the fastening of drywall such as screws that miss the framing (causing instability and possible lifting of the drywall surface), large dings (that are too big to be adequately be covered by extra drywall compound) and other conditions could all become the cohouser's problem if the Contractor is not responsible once the finish prime coat of paint is applied. Contractor's vary and it may well be that the contractor providing this price break of $44,000 will take responsibility for some-if-not-all deficiencies even after the prime coat is done. Hopefully I'm not stating the obvious.
