"He layed some of the flooring along the joists instead of across them. They didn't mark the joists so most of the wood is just nailed into the sub floor."
Sorry to hear about your contractor. I think most of us have stories to tell about our own experiences.
I have a question about the orientation of the flooring. The 2nd contractor said the floor wasn't laid perpendicular to the floor joists. Is this necessary if you have a subfloor? If the subfloor is nailed correctly to the joists, I don't think ithe direction of the planks would matter. For example, if joists run parallel with a hallway, do the planks have to run perpendicular? Can flooring guys here confirm this?
I hope this works out for you.
