Vanke's renovation workers were so ruthless that I had to redecorate my house after five or six years. It was really miserable.

I thought that after buying a house with fine decoration by Vanke, I would have no worries in my life. With Vanke's reputation, the quality of the decoration would not be too bad and I could use it for a lifetime without repairs. But who would have thought that problems would arise after only five or six years of use, and they were big problems.

The house I bought was developed by Vanke. After seeing Vanke's finely decorated model room, I was really attracted. So I discussed it with my husband and spent more than 900,000 yuan to buy one.



After I moved into the house, I bought some home appliances and moved in directly. After seeing the house, my relatives and friends all said that I had good eyesight and that I bought a property from a big brand, Vanke, so I don’t have to worry about the quality after I move in.

I didn't expect to be slapped in the face by reality so quickly. The plastic ceiling in the bathroom suddenly collapsed after I had lived in it for five or six years.

When I first discovered it in the bathroom, I felt something was wrong. How come the ceiling looked like a slope? Although it wasn't too obvious, I could still tell.



So, I contacted the housekeeper immediately, and the housekeeper replied that the property workers were unable to do this kind of work and that I could only find a professional master to do it.



In the morning, I saw a slight slope in the ceiling, and at noon I heard a "cracking" sound. I didn't expect that the bathroom ceiling was sagging again, a bit like a landslide. Fortunately, there was a door frame and a washbasin supporting it, so the entire ceiling did not collapse.

After it collapsed, the space became shorter and the bathroom suddenly felt very oppressive. I could even touch the light by reaching out my hand.

Without further ado, after playing cards yesterday morning, I asked my husband to find some renovation workers to come to our house to take a look at the situation in the afternoon. After they took a look, they said that the repair would be very troublesome and all the ceiling panels would have to be removed. The wages for two workers were 220 yuan.

There is no other way. If I can't solve it myself, I can only fix it by spending money. Two workers arrived early this morning at 8 o'clock. I couldn't go out to play cards, so I accompanied them to repair the system at home.

After they arrived, they immediately removed all the plastic gussets and started the intense construction. When the workers saw the situation after the removal, they exclaimed: Is this the quality of Vanke decoration? Too bad! Those unknown decoration companies do better than them. We have been working for more than ten years, and this is the first time we have encountered such poor quality.



Then the decoration worker pointed out to me why the ceiling fell down. First, the expansion screws at the corner of the east wall were not driven into place. Second, there was no keel on it, only two thin plywood panels supporting it. Over time, the plastic gusset plate collapsed. Third, too little nail-free glue was used, and no traces of glue could be seen at all.





The cause was found, and the next step was for my husband to buy two bottles of nail-free glue, two keels, and twenty or thirty self-arch threads according to the maintenance worker's requirements, spending a total of 33 yuan.



After I understood the reason why the ceiling collapsed, I was so angry that my teeth were itching. I clearly spent real money to buy a fully furnished house, but I didn't expect the quality to be so lame. At that time, I trusted the Vanke brand too much and was blinded by this big brand, so I was fooled.

After a busy morning, the bathroom ceiling was finally restored to its original state. I felt relieved and could continue playing cards in the afternoon.



In fact, if you think about it carefully, now is a money-oriented society, and the contractors are outsourcing layer by layer. The wages of the on-site decoration workers may not be paid in time. The workers will inevitably become lazy and cut corners. Using one bottle instead of two bottles of glue not only saves time and raw materials, but also shortens the construction period. Anyway, they are not going to move in, and by the time they find the problem, they have already slipped away, which makes life difficult for the homeowners.

Friends, is the house you bought fully furnished?

Have you discovered quality problems after living here for several years?
