1. yes they deserve the same quality of work - what's achieved by them having backed up toilets or the ceiling caving in?
2. Of course they deserve the same quality of work. Shoddy work can be dangerous.
3. Everybody deserves the same quality of work from the same agency/contractor. If Joe BLoggs up the road hires a landscaper (for eg.) and pays x amount of money for a job on the gardens of his mansion........... And Joe Doggs hires the same landscaper and pays the same amount of money for the job done on the gardens of his house (which happens to be a tin shed) The end result should be the same quality of work to both gardens.
4. You get what you pay for. Nothing comes from----------------- nothing
5. Is the trades person expecting to get the same rate of pay from both employers? Does the trades person have a work ethic, or is it just some yutz with a tool box? When a carpender builds a house, he doesn't know who's going to live there. So he does the best job he can do, then he doesn't have to come back and fix the crappy work he did for free, thinking the owner might not make $50,000 a month. What's "too old" to do renovations? Are you planning on scamming some people out of their cash? Why don't you just hold up a bank? How long did you actually think about the question before you asked it, 3 seconds?
6. t think you are saying that your housing provider hires people who aren't really qualified to do repairs? this is the new world, governments everywhere who have social programmes are slowly and progressively underfunding those programmes so that they can justify eliminating them entirely, If things go on as they are here in Canada, we will have no social programmes within twenty years; we have none now to speak of
7. Yes, they deserve it, most low-income housing is owned by the USDA, I used to live in low-income, but things didn't get done a lot because of funding, I'm glad I moved out though because, now I don't have to fill out paperwork all the time, plus it's much better just being on your own ina nicer place
8. Nobody Deserves shoddy work, but this question is not realistic. My family grew up in a house that needed serious maintenance, but there was simply no money to pay the mortgage, utilities, insurance, groceries AND a certified remodeler. Therefore, a lot of repair work went undone until us kids grew up and moved out. It would have been nice to have had a beautiful "extreme makeover" style remodel done to the house, but if the options are to lose the house over unpaid liens on the property then the choice is obvious. Please don't suggest that the taxpayers "owe" fancy fixtures, hot tubs, and other luxury items to people who aren't capable of affording them on their own.
9. As far as safety is concerned, sure. But as far as a higher architectural or decorative standard is concerned, no.
