We chose faux wood, porcelain floor tile. The TM and G installer, Carlos Perez, installed the tile with obvious chips, an inconsistent pattern, out of spec. grout lines, and edges that were not level. When the salesman, Scott, was called out he argued that it was the best they could do using that type of tile and offered to replace a few tiles. No admission of poor quality or apologies for the inconvenience. Also, we were never informed when we chose this tile, that the faux wood porcelain tiles tend to warp when fired. We learned all about this tile because we were put in a position of having to research it ourselves to determine how it should have been installed. The installer could have sorted the tiles during installation, thereby setting aside the worst of the warped tiles, however, that was never done.
The same installers made a mess of the shower too. The completed shower consisted of chipped edges on many ceramic tiles, inconsistent patterning, edges that didn't line up, and sloppy grout lines were what we ended up with. Once again a very unprofessional job. The project manager offered again to replace a few tiles when we voiced our disappointment. Once again no admission of poor quality or apologies for the inconvenience. We were forced to contact the manager of a local tile shop who came out and assessed the quality of the work for us. He came out of his own free will, without asking for compensation for his expert opinion on the tile work.
We then informed Lewis Stephens, the General Contractor, that we wanted the all the floor tile and at least 1/3 of the shower tiles removed and replaced by a different company. The owner of TMG came out to the house. He told us he'd been in business for 30 years and we asked him why we ended up with such a poor quality floor and shower if he had been in business for 30 years. He gave the question over to the General Contractor, Lewis Stephens, from Property Rehab Services. Lewis stated he and the owner of TM and G had never seen anything like this. Again, no offers to replace the tile to the extent the work would be done professionally to meet our expectations, only the offer to replace a few tiles here and there.
Because we demanded the floor be redone completely and a large portion of the shower tile, be torn out and redone, Lewis Stephens hired a different company to come in and completely replace the floor and about 35% of the shower tile.
We found MTGW by mistake and a follow up recommendation of our plumbing contractor. We dropped in on a Saturday morning with no appointment but were greeted professionally. We were looking at hundreds of granite slabs when Cindy met us and gave us the grand tour. We looked at each slab, compared to our tile selections (from another vendor) and she helped us realize what would work and what wouldn't. By the time we left we had our selection made.
Pricing was easy even before our cabinets were complete, and when the final measurements were done we came in within about 4% of the estimates!
Installation was the BEST PART!. We had our kitchen done by another company a few years ago and were prepared for dust and noise all day. BUT the installers did all of the cutting and drilling OUTSIDE, there was no dust in the house and we didn't hear grinders going on and on.
I would have to say the entire process working with Cindy and the team at MTGW was FANTASTIC!
THANK YOU ALL!
The house looked like a hermetically sealed hospital area after they installed the false walls made of plastic to protect open areas, walls, ceilings, windows, chandeliers and cabinets against dust and dirt. Once the job was completed and the plastic was removed, their professional expertise was very obvious due to the lack of dirt and dust in the other areas of my house. If I had a question or concern, Scott answered all of them immediately and without hesitation. He was constantly available via phone or at my home.
I shopped around for 3 years looking for a local family owned company that I could trust and depend upon to undertake and complete this major project without any surprises or glitches. Tile, Marble, and Granite Works performed to perfection.
Thank you Scott and your team. This project has weighed heavily on me for years and you helped me through it every day.
I called to report my concerns and the installers came back the next day to take care of the electrical outlet. Unfortunately the countertop problem was more complex so the consultant had the company granite crew come out and take a look. They showed up within an hour and several hours later, after considerable work, the granite looked great. Now the backsplash looks spectacular and the granite bartop looks better than when we bought the house!
I was very impressed with the knowledge and problem-solving abilities of both the tile and granite installers, and am very pleased with the outcome. The company's emphasis on customer satisfaction is apparent and effective. I will use them in the future without hesitation.
