I am going to be very specific about my exact encounters with Brothers Cement Tile and will go into detail on exactly how they messed me up. However, because I know many people are looking for quick reviews I will just say this:
They do not stand behind their work AT ALL. If the tile has any issues then they will ignore your phone calls and emails and provide you absolutely no support. The tiles look nothing how look they look on the website so do not expect a beautiful finished product.
Details:
I originally ordered tiles from them in order for my bathroom contractor to install. They provided us with details on how to install, but I was very nervous because I heard horror stories about the tiles coming out dirty and permanently ruined. I noticed that the instructions on the website and the one that they sent me over email had many differences. When I inquired they just kept adding instructions to each email they sent (I have all of these emails and would love to attach if there is an option). In the end I was left with two different set of instructions and a bunch of "tips" from the various emails. When I tried to call to clarify they would not answer their phones or return my voice mails. My contractor was on a timeline so he went to install the tiles. I supervised the entire process to make sure he was doing it all correctly. Lo and behold it came out terribly, all dirty and ruined. THREE DAYS LATER (not over a weekend but three business days later) they finally called me back and said "of course the reason it happened what because the contractor didn't change the bucket of water when grouted 10-15 times". I responded nowhere on ANY of the instructions did it say to do so! They said that, and I quote, "All contractors mess up these tiles because they never worked with them before." So I asked, "if you know that everyone messes up why do you provide so many different instructions - why are your instructions not clear and contain all of the information that is needed?"
They didn't really ever answer that. Instead they said that if I pay for the tile again they themselves will install it and then they will guarantee that it will be perfect.
I should also state that they had the audacity to claim that they kept trying to call me but I never answered my phone. I asked them to provide screens shots of the call logs or the exact times that they tried. Of course they didn't. I then called up AT&T to see if I had any calls from that number and they told me that they didn't see anything from the phone number.
I picked the same tile and they themselves installed it and guess what IT LOOKS DISGUSTING - after only 2 months! I really wish I could add pictures but you are just going to have to trust me. The paint is fading and there are these marks that are appearing everywhere. Additionally when they installed it they ripped up the base board ruining the paint and then they left marks all of the walls in my BRAND NEW bathroom.
I tried to email them and call them multiple times over the weeks and have not heard any answer. I told them that if they do not answer I am going to have to leave a truthful review of their deplorable customer service, still nothing. Finally last night I emailed them from my wife's account to see if they answer that email and guess what? THEY RESPONDED WITHIN AN HOUR AT 10:30 PM!
Like I said they are great at getting your business but hopefully nothing goes wrong because they will take your money and run. In the end I spent close to $2,000 for a terrible looking floor in my new beautiful bathroom.
