To be fair to Wenke they offered to fix all of the areas that we were not happy with in our home. My husband and I were just tired of having people in our home and wanted the construction to end. We decide to live with the improfections and decided to repair some of the issues ourselves. I would probably purchase Wenke products again but hire my own installer. Some of the installers at Wenke are very good while others are not. You will not know the good from the not so good until after the work is complete and then it it too late.

The worker took an hour to go pick up the lumber needed to repair the bay window. He then attempted to cut the piece of tile for the bathroom. He did not have the correct saw with him and broke several tiles trying to use the wrong saw. He then decided to take the tile to his home and cut it on the correct saw. He returned 40 minutes later. Once he returned, the total time to place the tile and cover the opening under the bay window was less than 45 minutes. I was charged for the entire time he spent from start to finish even though it took a lot of extra time due to not having the correct tools to do the job. After the worker left, I discovered that he had damaged my bathroom wall where he removed the baseboard to get the tile out. It was not visible when I looked at the tile before the worker left because I would have had to walk on the tile to see the side of the wall. The worker did not repair the damage, nor inform me that it occurred (the wall was gouged and scraped up). I have contacted the business and hope they will repair the damage, at the least. If they repair the damage and adjust the bill for the wasted time, I will re-review them with a more positive description. I do have a recommendation to the company that if they came ahead of time to see what needed to be done and came to do the job with the correct tools and supplies, the whole process would be much more efficient.
I am updating this review. The business returned promptly and repaired the damaged wall. The owner agreed that the amount charged for the work was excessive and refunded a substantial amount within a few days. I was satisfied with the repair and the refund. The owner did everything he could to make sure my experience was a positive one."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/mi/grand-rapids/mr-handyman-of-greater-grand-rapids-reviews-2297742.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Tile Guy","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Amy E."},"reviewBody":"TILE GUY IS AN ARTIST.

"I hired JLM Home Solutions to install all my interior doors and closets including frames/casings in my upstairs. Jason was a horrible person the entire time I hired him. He acted like a nice person just to get hired. I regret hiring him. Unfortunately I had signed a contract by the time I found out he was no good. Every time I brought up something that was not done right, he’d yell and raise his voice at me. He’s very rude and unprofessional with the worst customer service. He was rude on text, rude on phone and rude in person. Jared, I guess one of his employees was a great person, very polite and did an amazing job. He worked on the project in a professional manner. He didn’t come back though to finish the project because Jason sent another person instead, David, who did an awful job. Jason didn’t want to hear it that David’s work was not the greatest. I had to put a stop payment after I found out one of the closet doors wasn’t installed right and other things that were wrong. Jason got so upset that he had to come back to fix the problem after I told him I didn’t want David. Jason came to my house but failed to fix the problem still. Instead he made me feel threatened in my own house. He was all in my face yelling at me saying nothing was wrong with the closet. Even my little dog was scared. I had to call my daughter and son to come over because I was so terrified that he was maybe going to hurt me. I stayed on the phone all the time while he was there so someone could hear his abusive behavior. That day after Jason left, I had to get a second opinion on the closet. Another contractor couldn’t believe the way the closet was installed and for Jason to insist it was okay. He left the old frame on and didn’t want to here when I mentioned it. I’ll have this closet removed and a new one with new frame installed the right way. I had to insist Jason deduct some money for that closet from the balance owed to him. A couple of days later, I noticed my kitchen door they installed still had cracks on the inside frame close to the lock. I had mentioned that to him. I texted him to let him know with pictures showing the cracks. Now Jason won’t respond to my text, email or phone. I asked him to send one of his guys to fix the door. Not him because I don’t want him around me. I’ve tried everything to get to him. I know he’s ignoring me. I paid him so much money for this project. If I don’t hear from him I’ll have no choice but to file small claims. He cannot leave my door like that after I paid him so much money and thinks he can just get away with it. If there was an option of zero stars, that’s what I’d have given JLM."

"This was a bathroom replacement. I could not select that from the menu here. The quality of workmanship was quite poor for the price. I complained to the company and they sent someone to look at the work. He agreed that it was not up to their standards. I let them know I didn't want it redone and have my only bathroom out of comission for several days. What I would like was a refund.
Nothing happened. I was not followed up with despite multiple calls to Lindsey. I've felt too dumb for paying $11,000 for this shoddy job to post this review. I hope this is helpful to others who are making decisions.

FAQs for bathroom tile repair projects in Hartford, MI
The average cost of installing tile is around $2,000, ranging between $400 and $6,500, depending on the type of tile, square footage of tile, and whether or not your tiling contractor performs site preparation, like removing old tile. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 per square foot, largely depending on the type and quality of the tiles you choose. For example, ceramic and travertine tile cost about $1 per square foot, but luxury tile options like marble cost up to $350 per square foot, not including labor.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
