Nice caulk job

This is what some local "pro" installers left me with for exterior caulking on my new patio sliding door. Nice huh?

  • Nice caulk job
  • Caulk
  • Messiest Caulk job I've ever seen
  • No insulation and no shims!
  • No foam insulation
  • No insulation
  • No foam insulation up here either (but they did squirt a bunch of caulk in here, clearly not enough to even seal the gaps though). Over-shimmed header caused the vinyl door frame to bow 1/4" in the center.
  • NO CAULK UNDER THE DOOR FRAME!!!
  • I'm not sure what else to say about the quality of this installation.
