"My low scores both stem from bathroom issues. The exhaust fan fix was removed and re-installed poorly to the bathroom ceiling causing it to make excessive noise. The plastic portion of the hair dryer fixture was broken. The entire thing pulled off the wall by the next user. Needs to replaced not just setting the broken parts on the wall."
