Really crappy paint job and no sponge down before the paint was applied.

I think I saw a small blemish or two. It is quite common to find a couple
after the primer coat is applied.

They are easy to float off at that time.

You have reason to be concerned.

In the first photo the job around the right hand light box looks like the
drywall installer pushed the drywall over the box to expose the box (like
he screwed the drywall down without doing the cutout first). It looks real
bad if your out-of-focus photo is anything at all like the real thing.
What is that mark under the center outlet? The big cutout around the
bottom right outlet cluster is very sloppy. The paint job over dirty walls
is extremely poor workmanship also. Is the gouge running from one bottom
box to the other going to be covered up? If not, it needs to be patched.

After reading the other comments in this thread
and looking at the two pictres, I know that I need to:

A. get my eyes checked and get new glasses; and,

B. get a whole lot better monitor.


In the pictures, I can't see any of the things commented about!
Especially the paint items. Or are you guys looking at
the dark area, which I think is shadow area, which I
think is the shadow of the photographer?
