Please tell me this is unacceptable and I shouldn’t pay for this 😫
UPDATE: Contractor agreed to rip it all out and have his tile guy redo it, at no additional cost to me. He never admitted anything was done incorrectly, of course, but he “wants his customer to be happy….” I’m sure he cussed me out the second I left the house, but I’m just thankful this is hopefully going to be resolved.
Thank you to all who responded! I will post the (fingers crossed) “new and improved” floor when it’s completed, hopefully next week sometime when the new batch of tile is delivered.
Shower tile job was acceptable, but was done by a tile person. My GC then said he was going to do the tile floor himself. Like a fool, I assumed he would know what he’s doing. Instead, I walk in to this disaster: First of all, note the small pieces of the 12 x 24 tile inserted into the center of the room as if it’s a nice feature. (He claims he had to do this in order to avoid small pieces on the ends.) Next, there are grout lines ranging from 1/8” to 1/2” throughout. Where the vanity goes, he just put down some random broken pieces, because “you just need something for the vanity to sit on…”. Well, funny thing, the vanity I ordered sits up on legs, so this obviously won’t fly. Last but not least, around the toilet there are a couple of tiles sticking up about 1/4”.
He claims he will fix everything other than the smaller tile pieces tomorrow. The only way to fix this is to rip it all out and hire someone who knows what they’re doing.
