Am I Expecting Too Much

[Spud]

taking super close up pictures isnt fair to the contractor , yes the grouting could be fuller but it looks like you have a polymer hybrid resin grout like spectralock these take a lot of water to wash off and can result in shallower than normal grout joints especially with rectified edge porcelain tiles , snagging and defects are supposed to be sighted from a position standing in the centre of the room , its obvious you are not happy and are looking for support in your complaint but please post some pictures standing in the centre of the room showing the whole tiled area so we can give you a fair opinion of the work

Actually we had to have the grout sealed due to what they said was efflorescence? The grout was different colors.

Yes, I am unhappy with the work. I’m not here to get anyone to agree with me, just wanting to know if I’m being too picky. Not happy when I go to pull out a chair and it gets stuck on the tiles underneath.

Here are more pics from the vantage you asked for. Thank you for looking.

I would imagine that 1 picture for every 10 sq mts (approx), when as stated most are grouting issues, would suggest that you are expecting too much!
Certainly you have some issues but nothing that is insurmountable.
I’d go as far as saying - ‘damned good’ - for 3000sq feet!

good customer relations are important to every business and their refusal may well be a knee jerk reaction , perhaps ask a if them if there is a TNCA representative local to you who could mediate in your dispute , they should respect another professional opinion but you will also have to agree to their descison on a fair expectation of the finished work

We are in a new build and I’m not happy with the tile floors. Yesterday an inspector from the flooring company which provided both the tiles and the labor came out to look at the floors. He declared them ‘damned good.’ He also said the acceptable lippage was equal to two nickels. Can that be right? I’m attaching some pictures which I also provided to the flooring company and builder.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, there are a lot of pictures.

Need pictures of floors from a distance to see for lippage , other than that its grout issue , maybe too wet

Thought Americans are good with tiles, 1/16'' narrow grout joints etc. Guess not. I will fix it for you when I get back to US

Just round the corner then!

Why are they refusing to sort it?

They just keep saying it’s within normal range.
