Drips and spatters: Numerous areas show evidence of drips and spatters, indicating a lack of attention to detail during the application process. 3. Poor color matching: Despite sharing the specific color codes and communicating my preference for color accuracy, noticeable discrepancies exist between the chosen paint shades and the applied paint. 4. Incomplete surface preparation: Your team neglected to properly clean, sand, and prime the surfaces, resulting in peeling, cracking, and adhesion issues. 5. Disregard for protection: The surrounding areas were not adequately protected during the painting process, leading to unintentional paint splatters on furniture, fixtures, and flooring. Considering the aforementioned issues and the substandard quality of workmanship, I expect a prompt resolution to this matter. After consulting with a reputable professional painter, I have estimated the cost for rectifying the paint job to be [provide an appropriate monetary figure]. In light of this, I propose the following settlement terms: 1. Monetary adjustment: I trust you will reimburse me the aforementioned amount of [provide agreed amount] to cover the expenses of hiring another contractor to fix the paint job. 2. Timely completion: The settlement must be completed within [provide a reasonable timeframe, e.g., 30 days] from the date of this letter. 3. Quality assurance: You need to warrant the quality of the remedial paint work for a period of at least [provide appropriate duration] to prevent similar issues from arising in the future. Please consider this settlement offer seriously to avoid legal complications and preserve your reputation in the painting industry. If we can reach a mutually agreed resolution within [provide a reasonable negotiation timeframe, e.g., 14 days], we can avoid pursuing further legal remedies or involving relevant consumer protection agencies. I kindly request that you respond to this letter in writing within [provide a reasonable response period, e.g., 10 days] to indicate your agreement or outline an acceptable counter-offer. Failure to respond within the stipulated timeframe will leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter further and seek legal recourse.
