[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4312797, member: 50626"] Good luck trying to sue a small independent contractor. I’d be curious what grout they used. Some of the new epoxy grouts are very durable, but they leave a haze for multiple cleanings. Voids in grout is usually minor… is that the only tile problem? More serious tile issues would be things like: unlevel tiles, crooked grout lines, shower pan pooling in corners/not draining, also as [USER=45152]@sushi & pistols[/USER] mentioned possible movement in the substrate… tiles not sticking due to improper mastic, shower pan leaks, etc Gaps in trim? Gaps at the trim joints? or gaps where the trim meets along the drywall? A bad painter can ruin a decent trim job… that being said, most remodelers are not skilled finish carpenters. Making trim actually fit well takes some training a lot of practice. Everyone thinks they’re a carpenter because they bought the $699 miter saw and can cut 45’s… Issues with the trim really shouldn’t be too big of a deal. It’s purely cosmetic. Totally fixable. I’m in residential construction but Ponca is a hell of a drive. Wish you were closer and I’d take a look. Please don’t be upset at this question and feel free to not answer… but.., how much $$ do you have in it with them for the bathroom remodel? [/QUOTE]
