We called the manager who had given us the estimate. He came out and was obviously distraught about the horrible job they had done. He called the owner and they sent a "good" guy out on the following Saturday.
Ummm, not so good. First they arrived 45 minutes early on a Saturday morning. They did clean up the sink and replaced the chipped tile (with tile the previous owner had luckily saved). However, when they showed us the work both my husband and I asked them about the other clean up that needed to happen (i.e. caulking around the tub and the tile baseboards, show tile, etc.), he nodded as though he understood. He went out the the truck and I thought they were just cleaning up after themselves before they came back to complete the job.... NOPE... they just took off leaving the clean up incomplete.
Again, we called the manager and he happened to be in the office. He didn't even know what to say as he had even told them all the clean up they needed to do. He called them and made them turn around and come back. At that point, we knew that the rest of his work would be crappy since he clearly had better things to do than finish our job... AND we were right. When I went to go wipe down the shower all the caulking started to pill up. and then I go down and my hands and knees and saw they did the same crappy job with the grout and caulking around the toilet and in spot in different areas of the floor. Everything is white so the mistakes and sloppiness is less obvious at first glance but if the grout had any contrast whatsoever their horrible job would be obvious at a glance.So, the manager got another call from me this morning. He is coming tomorrow to see what he can do to fix the stuff the fixer was supposed to do.
I think this all boils down to the fact that the owner is hiring cheap laborers who have no work ethic. We have tile in other places in our house that is immaculate AND we just had tile put in our laundry room right before we tried to have this done (with a different vendor) and it was done right the first time and really looks nice too. I say all this because it is not as though we are being unreasonable or don't understand what tile is supposed to look like. I hope this gets cleaned up so I can live with the BIG FAT mistake we made by hiring these guys. NOTE: I did give an "A" for the responsiveness of the manager who was very responsive and sympathetic, but unfortunately has no control over the laborers they hire and schedule for jobs.
