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.



No, he did no work on the tiles that came up. He worked on the tiles
right up to the ones that came up.
He didn't apply any adhesive or sealer to the edges of, or below, the
tiles that popped? The popped tiles were a whole tile away from the
tiles he re-installed?

The general justification for not covering "damage to nearby tile"
has to do with the possibility of damagina the tile next to an already
damaged tile while removing it. "No guarantee we won't have to replace
up to 8 adjacent tiles to remove the single damaged tile in the middle
of your floor" makes sense. "no guarantee that undamaged tile may not
jump off the floor or crack within hours or days of us finished the
repair job" does not - unless they know they are doing something wrong
that has caused that kind of damage in the past.
