NC fence/deck quality issues
I hired a recommended fence/deck contractor in richlands NC. Paid about $10k for fence and $6k for deck (yard ~200x100).
Trying to figure out if i'm expecting too much or if this is normal workmanship.
Issues:
A few dozen Screws/nails sticking out (dog was injured from one and most deck balusters had screws sticking out at my 1 yr old's level)
Many 4x4 posts and deck framing pieces have multiple saw cuts/notches from installing rails
Some 2x4 rails barely contact the posts
Gate and sections of fence are leaning
Pickets already popping out after ~3 months
Contractor says he’ll fix it but keeps delaying. Current “fix” for screws is cutting them "close" to flush.
Is this acceptable work, or should I be pushing for proper repairs or something else?
