Yep. I'm in that situation right now, finishing up with a kitchen rebuild (water damage). I'm livid with the GC for the mediocre quality of the work and his audacity to consistently lie to my face even about trivial things (e.g. about written communication or insisting a 20A circuit needs a 20A receptacle). The quality of the work though… it's not that I could do better, it's that I've done better at specific tasks e.g. when they R&R'd a ceiling fixture I'd installed. We would've parted ways a long time ago if they'd done things right the first time. Instead I'm slowly going over their work to make sure I don't get screwed even more.
