Is this OK?

[Rohey]

I contracted out a bathroom remodel to a well known builder. When installing the cabinets they noted the plumbing needed to be repositioned. Rather than remove the cabinet and redo. they did this with cabinet in place. Note counters and Back splash are not in place. Involved adding a 90 degree to reposition supply lines.
See the pictures of the work. Is this ok? the rest of the plumbing looks very different (see example) with burneshed pipe and neat sliver solder joints. Is the bad or just sloppy?

Looks like they could have been cleaner by wiping the joint right after soldering, but if it doesn't leak, it will be OK. A little ugly, but OK.

Thanks for the insight. The job site coordinator did the work and not the usual plumber so I just wanted to make sure..

Thar does not loom like a new joint. Are you sure they did not try to reuse a previos joint. Dont understand why other work looks great but that joint is so bad

Good joint is a "real" plumber, the less attractive ones are the ones redone site manager that did not measure correctly for the cabinets and had to redo after the plumbers were done. They are coming to measure for granite Monday and trying to understand if this was poorly done our just not as neat as the real plumbers?

While it probably will be OK, you hired them so you would have a professional, worry free installation. The person who did the modification is obviously not an experienced professional when it comes to plumbing, and is probably not licensed to perform the work that they did.

Someone need to clean the bad looking joints/piping as Havasu said. If the joints/piping is not cleaned it can go from looking bad to leaking bad.

Just to be safe, you might want to request that they bring back a real plumber to fix the sloppy job at the contractor's expense. Since the general contractor was not a plumber and not licensed to do the work, he never should have done it himself.
