There were two things that annoyed me about this job, but before I get into that - I have to say that the crew did the job and did it well. There of course was a massive about of dust everywhere, even on the cabinets they tried to cover, however I guess it almost goes without saying that you are going to have to wipe down every wall, surface, blind, windows, etc after tile removal to rid your home of that thick layer of dust. The floors were ready for new flooring, nice and smooth, though there was also still piles of dust on the floor that I wish I had a shop vac to remove.
Luis is very good to work with, he gave me a great rate - and they were able to come out very quickly to do the work. Best of all, they did it in under a day!!! No destructive removal, just a nice smooth slab with some previous damage from other flooring products. Did I mention they were on time, if not a few minute early? That's always a nice surprise.
My two issues were more along the lines of logistics/communications, and potentially this is on me.
1> When Luis arrived he mentioned that payment would be required in Cash. This was quite a shock to me, as I don't carry $2,300 in cash with me. I was expecting to write a check or use a card, but he told me he needed to pay his guys and that wouldn't work. So instead of going to work that morning, I spent the next two hours on the phone with my out of state bank getting approvals to run to ATM after ATM so I could pull out $2,300 bucks - in 20 dollar bills. Luis said he mentioned this to me when he gave me the quote, and it's entirely possible that I missed that while I was thinking over the numbers. I also use a federal credit union that doesn't have branches here, so most folks could have done a branch withdrawal, whereas I could not. So again, that's on me.
2> When getting the quote, I said it was approximately 2000 square feet, however I wasn't doing all the rooms, so probably a bit less. He pulled up the home on a site and saw an even larger number, however I advised him that during the appraisal the measured square footage was less than what the agent listed on MLS. So when the job was done, I paid for 2000 square feet. Well, when I went to have hardwood installed where the tile had been, the measure was less than 1,700 square feet. So - I essentially paid for 300 square feet of tile removal and haul away that didn't happen. Now, this was again a lesson for me. I just assumed they would measure, however I didn't confirm that. I could have also measured myself, and didn't do that. So - I can't totally blame Luis for operating off of the approximate number I gave him. The rate I received was still extremely competitive, so I still feel like I received a good deal.
So all in all the work was great, wish more could be done for dust cleanup, and the logistics of payment and square footage were a little annoying - for reasons that I largely take responsibility for. The most important part was that they did the work well and were professional - and I simply have to give them credit for that.
