    Status:
    Answered
    11/15/2022 received estimate. (attached) 11/22/2022 – Received revised estimate (attached) 11/23/2023 paid $7000 via check as requested by Kim for. (see attached document ***** dated 11/23/2022) Did not sign any documentation or statement of work. 18 Jan 2023 - contacted Kim again for Reno start date. She informed us that the floor tile was “on a boat” and she would let us know when it arrived. Feb 23, 2023 - contacted Kim again and was told that tile still had not arrived. Feb 25, 2023 – picked up shower floor tile and discovered it was not what we wanted. Kim argued with us and said that was the tile we requested. We chose different tile but were told we would still have to pay for the original tile. March ? 2023 – Contacted Kim again and was told that “still don’t have the tile. Other customers chose other tile”. We asked why she didn’t suggest that as an option but didn’t get an answer. So… went to Mountain City tile showroom on Saturday March 18 to choose different tile. Went back to the showroom to view the tile – only to find the wrong floor tile had been ordered. Kim stated that **** told her to order white floor tile – like the shower – which he did not. We requested the second choice of black tile which we requested. April 25, 2023 – sent Kim an email to verify our tile choices: 1) shower walls - white and gray large tile 2) shower floor and top of shower “seat” - small white and gray octagonal tile 3) shower “cubbies”, around tub and window - larger octagonal tiles (black, gray etc) 4) bathroom floor - (Have photo of the tile – was attached) 5) granite counter tops with square white sinks as discussed 6) backsplash to match the shower walls (gray and white) bullnose. Size 3 3/4”. Your guys can verify what size will be needed on Thursday. In May we picked up some of the tile (the black and gray octagonal tiles) and found that it was not the tile that we had originally ordered. Kim originally said that the sample was “gone” so she ordered what she thought we wanted. When we returned to the showroom, we saw the original time requested in the smaller room next to the desk. Would not agree to change it without additional charge. Still didn’t have a firm date for the project to begin. Bill said he wanted to assign his “best tile guy”. June 5 “Brad” showed up alone to begin reno. Had no materials to protect the floor. Requested that he paper the floor to protect it. He left and said he went to **** ***** to get supplies. Papered the floor from front door to master bathroom – but had gaps which we papered and taped to protect the floors the evening of June 6. Went to showroom to pick up tile on 6/7 to make sure it was correct. Brad brought the rest of the tile on 6/8. No work was done on 6/9/2023 Brad had to go to another job to complete a punch list via phone call to **** from Bill. The demolition was finally completed on June 14th – with the exception of tile around the window and backsplash. Brad did not work again on 6/15/2023 Bill called **** and said Brad had a “family situation”. PLEASE NOTE: Accounting of “Brad’s” hours worked is attached - timestamped photos of arrival, departure for “lunch” and departure each day are available for review if desired. The work to date was not satisfactory – see attached photos – and the lack of respect for our home and property is also documented. (Examples include – not covering the tub which was installed to protect it from dust and scratches despite ********’s request to do so; boards with exposed nails in the hallway – ******** cut her leg on one of the exposed nails; urine on the toilet seat and floor in the powder room; not cleaning up each day leaving screws, nails, etc. on the floor; and spacers, material from the demo in the floor heat / air duct.) 6/23/2023 - contacted Bill (Brad supervisor) to request they no longer work on the project. One party consent transcript of the call is attached. Received an email from Bill P******** with an attached letter and invoice as well as his accounting of work completed. (attached).

    If I could give 0 stars I would. When you hear about nightmare experiences with contractors, I am pretty sure they are talking about Mountain City Tile. They understated the start times for the job (4-6 weeks turned into 8-12), couldn't stay on schedule (supposed to be finished in 7-10 days and it's been over a month), and lied to us when they ordered the WRONG TILE. They refuse to let me actually see the sample in their shop, and are blaming the distributor/manufacturer but I find it hard to believe that the sample would have incorrect ordering information, or that I'm the first person to select this and have the wrong item show up. Anyone with working eyeballs can tell the tile they installed does not at all resemble the tile we chose, but instead of just admitting a mistake and working to correct it, they decided to gaslight me and say it was just variations due to natural stone. We went and found the exact tile we had picked for less than 1/2 of what they were charging us, so they were price gouging too. We ended up having to hire a different company to come out and repair the work they did, with the correct tile. My advice, find someone else and save yourself the trouble of working with them, it's not worth the cheaper quote they'll provide.

    Mountain City Tile Response

    01/06/2023

    I would like to respond to Ms. M****** claim. Mountain City Tile started the job and had plans to finish it before December 16, when they had family come in. The first day on the job, my employee fell off of a wall and broke his foot. My other crews were tied up on other jobs and as soon as possible we sent another crew over. Of course, by this time our timeline was shorter but still had time to finish by the deadline.. Once we got started again, the installer came down with the flu which cost several days. We could not start again until after their out of town visitors had left. As for the wrong tile, the material was ordered correctly and at the M******'s request was double checked several times. As explained to the M******'s our supplier communicated that it was correct because it was a natural stone and every run is slightly different. We kept insisting to our supplier and they have picked up the sample board yesterday to determine if there was truly a problem. The sample board that they state we refused to show them was checked out to another customer. We called that customer and requested that it be returned. As we are the only distributor in town for that product, the M******'s did not buy the exact same product for less. I would like to apologize to the M******s, as everything that could go wrong did go wrong. However at no time were they lied to or mislead.
