The crew arrived promptly on the morning the project began. Sheet plastic was taped over doorway openings surrounding entry way to close off the work space. Pathways of floors and stairway were protected with taped down heavy duty brown paper. Bathroom toilets & pedestal sink were disconnected & put aside. Carpet was ripped out of both bath areas. Old entryway tile was broken up with little jack hammer and removed. Membrane was spread on all surfaces to "float" the tile. AND the tile was laid in all areas... all this on the first day. Entry and 1/2 bath were laid in a staggered pattern and the full bath in a straight pattern... both beautifully done. Second day two workers arrived to grout but realized the premixed grout was different from what the contract specified. The store assistant located the correct color in powder form at a local retail store and the job was begun. Grouting under the white wall molding was problematic, resulting in bleeding of the dark color up onto the edge and in the crevices of the white molding. Remedy will necessitate paint touchup later after floors dry. In after thought I have wondered why the moldings were not taped off with painters tape to protect them from the dark grout... maybe concern about the grout adhering to the tape and resulting in rough surfaced grout when tape pulled away. We were instructed not to allow the dogs to walk over tile as nails could make holes in soft grout. Drying time... 72 hours. Four days later, early a.m., the office assitant applied sealant to the grout and cleaned the moldings as best she could. But touch-up painting still necessary. Forster Tile made every effort to please, and had we insisted I believe they would have done the touch-up painting. But we chose to do the painting ourselves.

They protected the floors all the way from the front door into the bathroom. I appreciated that very much. Removal of the shower doors and installation of the grab bars was done properly. They were pleasant and cleaned up after themselves. There were stains along the front edge and sides of the tub surround underneath the removed frame. Not surprised at that. One of the men called a cultured marble company and found the best way to deal with it was to buff it out. Nice of him to call for me. The next morning I discovered the caulking they used to fill the holes left from the door frame removal had shrunk. I called Lori and she said they would fix it. Howard Bond was scheduled to come out for a remodel estimate on another bathroom within a couple of weeks. She said he would do it then so I went ahead and paid the bill. The bill states it is due on completion. And states and quot;All work is complete!and quot; When he got here he said he wasn't going to fix the holes, I should have the buffers do that. He was right here. It would have probably taken maybe ten minutes to do it. So I guess they're not going to finish what they started. Sad. I hired them based on reviews here on Angie's List.
Jason was fantastic! We needed bee removal big time, and luckily he was able to come out the day after booking instead of waiting weeks to be fixed. He was on time, very nice, and very informative on both the removal process and other issues we had around the bee hive. Great work, great...

This business was listed under fence repairs, but they don't have time for that type of work. The voicemail wasn't very clear so I don't know what else was said. This needs to be removed from the Fence Repair category.

They are also trained on how to properly dispose of lead-based paint material.
