All this contractor has to do is to put on the fence panel boards, I give him lots of room so that they will be flush on top or even up to 3/8s below the top and he does this so that he can do this.
The majority of contractors in this town go out of their way to screw things up so this is perfectly normal. My customer base knows that I won't tolerate this crap and theres site managers still calling to see if I'll come out of retirement or to work on their personal projects.

During our housing boom there were paint jobs that looked like they painted over the drywall mud without final sanding it, walls that were up to 2" out of plumb and landscaping was up to 3 years behind schedule. I had quit or walked off so many jobs because of shoddy workmanship or had been fired for being overly critical of shoddy jobs that I was hired by 3 site managers in the same developement to do pre warranty work. If the site manager saw something being done wrong the contractor was pulled and I got called in to correct and finish the job, worked good for 2.5 seasons.
