Two technicians came to my house to replace an old water heater located inside the house. Because we have white carpet and walls, I purchased disposable booties for them to wear over their shoes and I put don't two drop-cloths. They did an excellent job replacing the water heater but left the place a mess. Hand prints on the walls, saw dust and flux inside the water heater cabinet and some stains on the floor. They had no concept that they should leave the place like they found it. I think the company doesn't stress that part of the job. I knew there was going to be problems when I offered one of the technicians the booties and he looked at me like I was crazy. He later took them off.
