Correct Drywall Repair Question- Is this a good job?
My condo association is repairing drywall today after a kitchen flood. They are responsible for the drywall, I am responsible for the paint and the baseboard trim. I am concerned that the worker is doing a substandard job. After cutting out the new drywall and drilling it in the wall the workers are mixing up alot of "mud spackle" and just laying it in the sheetrock cracks. There is no tape that I can see, some sanding, and little smoothing. Check the photo out-- is this a good job (they say they will finish in one day). More importantly, will I be able to bring my own workers in and clean up after them and salvage this? I read that any job without tape will result in cracking in the future.

You are right. It does look very crude. It would take a belt sander, a lot of dust and more coats to straighten it out. There should be tape in it after the first plaster and then a skim coat on top of the tape. You could go over that in the pix with a 12" blade if you wanted to. They could certainly have taken more off the wall than that. Like 24". Shows how stupid they must be.
