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".

I am thinking the OP is talking about tiles popping that are adjacent to
removed/replaced tiles. But if the contractor injected stuff under those
now popped tiles, they are not adjacent tiles to the work the contractor
did, they are part of the work the contractor did.

I don't think this is worth pursuing with the contractor or in court.
But
it would be good to get to the bottom of it.


Why on earth isn't it worth pursuing with the contractor? He can
still challenge his credit card payment to start and it's $900, not $25
bucks.



I agree with disputing his credit card statement. I was talking about going
to court, sending this bozo demand letters, etc.


I am going to dispute the credit card statement. I doubt that I'll
take it to court.
