Having the customer stand over me all day, trying to tell me how to install the wood floor like I haven’t been doing this for 25 years and I’m not the fourth-generation hardwood floor install and finisher.
Michael Anderson
Scraping drywall mud and cleaning up after electricians before sanding. 🤣

Floor leveling prep. A close second would be cleaning up the prior contractors’ mess.
Olivier Langlais
Repairs, God I hate repairs.
Kevin Knauff
Carpet pad staples!!!

If I never sanded another riser again it’d be too soon.

The final vacuuming.

Prep.

Putting all the tools back up.

All the prep before actually sanding. I generally try to keep my sites clean so I don’t get overwhelmed with cleaning and loading up at the end.

All of it.

Cleaning after the other trades before I can start—especially drywallers.

Joseph Socci
Pulling staples from under staircase nosing. Then scraping under the nosing and your scraper hitting a missed staple nub. Next horrible job: pulling up carpet around balusters and stringers. Looking back, I wished I had saved every staple that I pulled out of staircases over 40 years and brought them to the recycling center to weigh them for money, LOL.
