Angry Braking problem

Okay, so this last week I had my right front wheel bearing replaced. It was getting horrible. When I would take left turns there was a grotesque sound of the caliper scraping around the rotor. I had the rotor replaced as well as putting new brake pads on. So here is the problem, after all of that was replaced, when I take left turns the caliper still scrapes along the rotor. The outer edge of the rotor is getting pretty bad. Should I replace the caliper as well? What else could the problem be?

Make sure you used the washer when mounting the caliper other wise the bolt is cutting into the rotor. that happen to me when i wasn't paying attention and was in a rush to get the brakes done.
