I usually don't leave feedback but after multiple attempts of texting Carlos without a response, I felt compelled to do so, so that others wouldn't make the mistake I did with going with an inexperienced contractor. If you're looking for a quick fix to a problem but don't care about quality, timeliness, nor losing money, then J&C flooring meets those requirements. I negotiated with Carlos to renovate both my bathrooms and install hardwood floors to which he provided a good faith estimate on what that would cost. He doesn't always do the work himself but brings in other "guys" to do the work while he goes off to other projects he has going on at the same time. The tile guy he brought in didn't seem to understand the importance of "level" or proper gapping between tiles. Many of the installed tiles were chipped or cut skewed and didn't line up properly. When Carlos returned and surveyed the work, he asked, "what's wrong with this work?" I had him tear all the tile down and redo it, essentially eating the cost of the wasted tile. Carlos will send a text at the last moment and say I won't be showing up today or tomorrow after previously promising to do so and make up an excuse as to why...usually it's because he's needed on another job. Long story short, Carlos may be good at installing flooring (vinyl, carpet, and perhaps hardwood), I wouldn't know since he quit without finishing my bathroom even after he was fully paid (unfinished niche). I would definitely think twice before letting him to do your bathroom. I had the Home Depot Pro Services come out and inspect Carlos' work since I needed the niche (which he was supposed to come back and finish) to be completed and they recommended that I rip everything out again since Carlos used the incorrect thin set (Mapei pre-mix meant for kitchen back splashes which isn't meant for bathrooms or wet environments). His favorite excuse on bad tiling is don't worry, caulking will hide the imperfections.
Update: It's ironic that a business owner would respond to a review that "this is what happens to people that cry a lot". Except for having the tiling redone (eating the cost of the replacement tiles; Carlos was never apologetic about it either) not once did we complain about the extended time it took to complete the project. His original estimate was $1700 for labor only...we ended up paying Carlos over $3K, and yet we are the ones supposedly crying a lot? read more
