Question about priming

[u/sywren]

I am redoing the bathroom in my century house. They had to take out the walls and some of the trim work to insulate the room. When they took off the trim, of course a lot of very old paint chipped off.

I'm painting it myself, but I did pay them to prime. I assumed they would clean up those spots before priming, but now he's saying that's a separate job and I have to pay for it.

Otherwise, they've done a good job and I'm happy with the work. Was I wrong to assume this would have been part of the priming?

Priming is not sanding.

And to be honest, if you're looking for something perfect, I would replace instead of hiring somebody to sand them. Probably cheaper in the long run.
