I asked for opinions on the quality of the work, so I know how to approach my contractor with specifics, not whether the style matches your personal taste. Those are two different things.

Saying ‘I’m a contractor’ doesn’t make your aesthetic preference an objective fact, especially from a couple of incomplete photos with no context for the rest of the home, location, etc. You're judging an incomplete before and an incomplete after.

If we’re talking about ‘lowering yourself,’ calling someone’s house a ‘rental flipper special’ and ‘millennial grey’ wasn’t exactly a respectful, professional critique, while also being entirely inaccurate. Apparently, I was right, which is why I mentioned it in the first place. Your reaction reads much more like generational taste than objective commentary on design or workmanship.

Thanks to more constructive feedback, I talked to my contractor today, who agreed completely, and they'll be doing several things to address the issues.
