I wanted to like Alex T. as he seemed like a hard working honest contractor. However, I was unfortunately surprised. I hired him to install Mosaic bathroom tile on a small space of about 20 square feet. He said it would be "fine" and presented himself as licensed and insured in NY. NOT the case..
When he was done, it looked like a first timer had done the job. Mosaic tile comes square foot sheets. Not only was the floor unlevel (which I had prepared myself for) but the sheets were CLEARLY visible. I could count the tiles. Certainly the worst mosaic tile job I had ever seen.
It was quite apparent (after the haze was cleaned the day after) that the job was unacceptable. I needed to have it redone. I called him and he initially greed to refund half of money. Unfortunately, this never happened. Alas...he disappeared and ultimately did not respond. He is not an honest person and was not qualified to do the work...even though he presented himself as such.
Lastly, I hired someone else to redo the work. Looks great but it ultimately cost me double including double tile cost. I wish I endorse Alex, but rather, I have to disuade anyone from hiring him. I gave him the opportunity to make right on his mistake and having him redo it was not an option with his skill level. Trust me. Not any where in the ball park. Instead, he decided to dodge me and go back on his word. He's the type guy that gives contractor's a bad name. Steer clear. read more
