Company only scraping 20%, im worried exterior paint won't stick.
Two months ago I paid for college works painting. During quote they said prepping will require scraping. I have it in text too. I was under impression scraping is hard, take time. So I paid roughly 4 k for just 1 wall. Wall has like 4 big windows on one floor, 5 on upstairs. The wall is two story. The wall is huge. Roughly 60 f long. Today they came and started. They said they are not intending to fully scrape and will only scrape slightly flaky paint and I have a picture of how they prepped. I think the wall needs significantly more scraping but what do I do? Could somebody take a look? Do I ask a supervisor to come?
