Dear Consumer. For your own best interest. Please beware of Florida Quality Contractors aka Able Quality Services. They have a few branches, so be aware of this also, Hollywood is the primary location. The owner Mitch Feinglas is a liar, cheater and a thief. He does not stand by his word. Adam will provide you with an estimate, that is not itemized. According to my attorney this is WRONG!! Dan, the supervisor will never be on time, make promises that he can't keep. I PROMISE you that!!! After a horrible tile installation, and not following national tile industry standards, Mr. Feinglas proceeded to lie throughout the tile installation, and after. Mr. Feinglas is/was unaware of The TCNA. Tile Council of North America. All contractors and tile installers should be aware of this, and follow their standards. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF PRIOR to any tile installation. The information below is copy and pasted from a certified flooring inspector, Floor Eyes Inspection. The report was sent to Mr. Feinglas and his attorney. Mr Feinglas came to my condo to do an inspection. His "expert", took 5 photos with his smartphone, and the results were nil. I promise you all, the information below is copied and pasted from the inspection report. I have absolutely no reason to lie!! Unfortunately I can't post pictures on this site. Mr. Feinglas is not up to date on industry standards, he didn't even know there were industry standards. He pays for cheap labor, which results in the findings below. Overall, if Able Quality Services, Mitch Feinglas were a class operation, I would not be posting. I would have no reason to!! Enjoy your readings. This reports speaks for itself. Invoice #: 12-4570 History: • Rectified porcelain tile installed throughout apartment. • Consumer complaint is lippage of the tile edges at the grout lines. • Missing grout at the joints, entrance doors and along window edge Findings: • Installation type is a mud dot installation over a concrete slab. • This is an above grade ceramic tile installation with underlayment. • Tile was installed with butt line grout joints. (Edge to edge). • Grout was found to be missing from its original installed position do to improper sized grout lines. • The required minimum grout joint thickness for ceramic/porcelain tile is 1/8 inch or wider, as needed to eliminate any lippage issues. • 1/32nd of an inch is the allowable tolerance for height/ lippage in ceramic/rectified tile. • To eliminate the lippage of the tiles, the grout joint would be required to be opened wider than the minimum 1/8th inch wide grout line • Rectified (machined edged) porcelain tile has the same warpage tolerances as ceramic tile, three quarters of one percent. 0.0075 % Diagonal, Straight edge warpage tolerance is one percent. 1.00 % tolerance. • The warpage of the tile units are within warpage tolerance according to American National Standards Institute (A.N.S.I.) 108 & Tile Council of America (T.C.A.) 2008. • Missing grout is at many of the grout joints due to improper installation of the tile units being an edge to edge grout line. • The grout was not able to penetrate into the joint in order to hold its position. • The required minimum depth for the grout is to be a minimum of 75 % of the thickness of the tile unit being installed. • I did not find any required expansion material (soft joint) installed in the apartment. • The placement of expansion material is a requirement for tile installations is to be placed every 8 to 12 feet apart, in both directions of the installation, and in the walk through areas and door casings under 72 inches wide. • The windows and doors require a transition trims at those areas to finish the open tile edges. • Those cut tile edges are uneven and missing soft joint material against a metal substance or frame, it now has a hard mortar grout line against the metal frame. • This mortar should not have been placed against the metal window frame. • The tile substrate is within tolerance of being in plane, 1/16th of an inch in 3 lineal feet, 1/8th inch in six lineal feet & 3/16th of an inch in ten lineal feet. Conclusion: This complaint is justified as an installation mis-specification and improper installation related issues. At this point the only way to correct the consumer’s justified complaint is to replace all the flooring material installed and start again. SEE PICTURES FOR CONFIRMATION OF FINDINGS .
