😠Bad tile job, only 3 days old and it has to come out.

SUBSCRIBE Learn how tile the right way
This bad tile job did not come cheap. Tile and other materials were bought at a big box store, the installation was also arranged and paid for at the box store. The job is a total failure, was not installed according to proper methods, was also an extremely poor finished result with no movement allowed for, exceedingly bad lippage and everything else that could be done wrong, was done wrong.

This doesn't make me feel very confident in my own work because I don't think that tile job looks bad... you can literally pick apart anybody's work if you look close enough. We're not building Swiss watches here, it's a tile floor. Guess I'd have to see it in person... but on camera it looks great. Maybe a case of being too picky? Like I said, it looks good to me.

I’ve been a tiler for 30 years and the easiest thing to do is criticise someone’s work…. Ok on close inspection yes you can see issues.
Herringbone takes so long and I’m sure the tiler has worked hard for his money like the homeowner….I’d like to see your effort.
You’ve made such a meal of this and I’d like to inspect your work

I don't think it looks that bad. The shiplap looks 100x worse.

There was nothing wrong with that tile. This guy just wanted a free floor job. Complain to the big box store and get a refund. What a fraud.

Even if it was perfect a contractor would come in and pick it apart. Thats just how ALL contractors operate.

I am tiling my kitchen floor & this job looks far superior to mine

House is over a million, 5 years old and already having issues. Sounds like the original builders caused the most issues.

[jrodriguez]

So called million dollar house yet the work was given to a big box store. U get wat u pay for!

Skilled labor ain't CHEAP
Cheap labor ain't Skilled

Could have been compressed down to 5-minutes!

Home Depot is the absolute last place anybody should seek installation services. You’re better off watching some YouTube videos and doing DIY lol

[alexcastaneda]

He is cheap, hire a guy for cheap money you get cheap results

[danleahy]

Sounds like you guys would pick any work apart. Floor looks good

[arob]

I would love for someone to go behind this guys work and inspect every single millimeter of every single inch of every job he's ever done. I'm sure Sal has never made a mistake! 👍🏾 I'm sure this guy does good work even though I never heard of him. I just hate when people trash other contractors to make themselves look good. Why couldn't he just post a video of him doing good work from scratch to show how it's properly installed. This video just sounds like a Karen to me. You don't need to trash other people's work to make yourself look good. You should just let your good work speak for itself.

Someone needs to do something about that bad shiplap job as well.

As a tile Mason for over 30 years it did not surprise me to see this from a big box instalation sub I once saw a box store employee tell a customer that the only way to fix a recurring Crack in Saltillo over slab was to keep replacing the tiles as they cracked after the employee left I showed them the products and told them the best way to permanently correct the issue saw that customer a few years later and they approached me and told me thanks for the advice as after they used the correct material and instalation the cracks have never returned

I would like to see you installing and see a finished work of yours to also show you all the details. That job looks great.

[trinitylea]

I disagree, I LOVE the way it looks! I think it looks good!

[russelljochim]

Leveling clips are made for using them, especially with natural stone tiles that cost a lot. You don’t want to have to rip up a 15.00 sqft tile and redo it! A little bit of extra time can make all the difference in the world. Shout out to all the tile installers around the world!! No one knows what we got though daily to make a living and most couldn’t hack it, so be proud and take pride in your work🙏🙏🙏

[DonaldBankston]

Tighten that belly…No more donuts and beer…You are a great person but your health is suffering…Rock on Sal! Much love tile brother!!
