Default Adjacent tiles lift after repair work. Is it malpractice?

Another thing is no warranty of any kind on the contract? Sounds like
some thing is not right on workmanship or materials used.

Why would a warranty enter into this? The tiles repaired under the
contract are not the ones he is currently having problems with. In
addition, according to the OP, the contract specifically states that the
contractor is not responsible for damage to nearby tiles.

This does not appear to be a warranty issue.


He said they added some adhesive to existing tiles. That makes them part
of the new work. He is not giving any warranty on the work he is doing,
but putting in an exception.

He is saying "I'll fix it, but if it goes to crap it is not my fault"


yes, I don't think it was ADJACENT tiles that are now popping up, it is some
of the tiles the contractor did do SOMETHING to.


Are you saying the OP is wrong and/or lying? He specifically said that it was the "adjacent" tiles that were popping and that there was clause that said the contractor wasn't responsible for damage to "nearby tiles".


What they are saying is that by adjacent tiles, the contract should
be interpreted to mean tiles that are OK, don't need to be worked on
at all, break during any removal work, etc. Tiles that the contractor
chose to inject adhesive under are not considered "adjacent", they are
part of the work area.
