I recently had the exterior of my house painted. Not long after, I noticed bubbles running down the side of the house. Now there are visible streaks all over it.

I contacted the painter, and he told me I need to have the house power washed first. He said if the streaks are still there after that, then it would need a light coat of paint — and he would charge me another $750.

I’m frustrated because I already paid to have this done, and I don’t feel like I should have to keep coming out of pocket to fix something that happened right after the job was completed.

I do have a signed contract and his insurance information. I’m just not sure if this is something I can push back on or if I’m stuck paying more.

Has anyone dealt with something like this? Do I have any options here, or should I be asking him to correct it at no charge?
