From start to finish the job was a complete fiasco.....The first quote was aprox $1,400 00. I asked them to please take out the permit, and they quoted me another $650 00 additional for this. !!!! I contacted the City of Pompano Beach Permit Dept, and was informed that the permit cost for my job would be around $44. 00, but as they had a minimum, it would be $60. 00. !!!!. I got back to Home Depot with this info, and they told me that was what they charged...........I refused to pay this, and offered them $300 00 for this service and they agreed. They had a couple of foreign 'Bruisers' tear out the old tiles.....these men also tore out most of the baseboards, and tore off some of the wallpaper around the base of the doorframes, which I photographed.... In the middle of removing the old tiles, they suddenly produces a long level, place it on my kitchen floor from which they had not cleaned the debris, and informed me that the floor was uneven, and that I should contact the store. I did this, and was informed that to level off the floor. would be another $750. 00. additional to the original quote and obtaining the permit. I refused, as the previous tile job looked fine. I did chip off a couple of small concrete hi spots with a concrete hammer, checked the floor for level, and all appeared O.K.
Subsequently, I called Home Depot, and told them I was ready for the installation. The tile man arrived, and I asked him if he was to re-hang my louvered doors etc, which the previous wreckers had removed when they tore out the tiles, prior to his commencement ? .....His comment to me was "Did'nt I have a handyman that could do that ? I told him to come back the following day, and rehung the doors, and repaired the door frames, baseboards, and torn wallpaper myself.
The very next day the installer started, bringing the supplies etc. He did a good job with the tiles, but when he had finished, he dropped a tool and cracked a tile in the center of the kitchen floor, and had to return the following day to replace same with new. Having finally finished, I saw that he had a couple of boxes of tile, and two bags of setting cement over, so I said to him, that I hoped he was going to take this overage with him when he left.......He retorted, that he did not do this, and that I would have to return these things to the store myself for a refund !!!!........I subsequently did slep these articals back to the store........I was mad at having to do this, and had several words with the Service Desk relative to their manner of completing and closing out an installation contract.......This whole scenario was very distressful to me, as I had expected a much more professional job from a large company. Finally for my aggravation, they gave me a Gift Certificate of $100. 00.
I had much correspondence with a Mr. Frank Blake. Chairman and CEO of the company, at his Atlanta, GA office, and also with sundry other individuals of the company, which I would be most happy to furnish upon your request. In closing, I can only say that I would never, ever use these people again, particularly with regard to the price gouging that is apparent, and I would caution any other prospective customers to keep their eyes open.
I Remain, Sincerely Yours, Captain: A. J. Gibbons. Thanking You.
