but if you, an experienced professional painter, were hired to repaint somebody's house, and that person used bad paint (or something else entirely, like... i dunno, shellac, or white glue), your scope of work changes from "light prep and paint" to a much more involved job of undoing the previous work (or mistakes) and then getting to the original scope of work.

i truly don't mean this in a derogatory way but that sounds incredibly naive.
