If you need to reschedule please do so with a minimum notice of 48 hours
AN ADULT OVER 18 MUST BE PRESENT AND ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS AND APPROVE COUNTERTOP DETAILS!

– Until the total 50% deposit has been received, and all decisions have been made and signed off in writing, fabrication will not begin and your project will not be added to the installation schedule.

Day of Installation
AN ADULT OVER 18 MUST BE PRESENT AND ABLE TO MAKE DECISIONS AND APPROVE COUNTERTOP DETAILS!
– For safety keep children, pets, and yourself away from construction area and path of access.
– Create a clear path to the installation area and cover any furniture or floors (Do NOT place plastic on floors)

– Upon completion of your project our installers do a basic clean then review your completed project with you for inspection and signoff.
– Make final payment (either give check to installers or call our office with a credit card)
– We suggest you schedule a plumber at least a few hours before installation for disconnect and the day following for the reconnect. If the plumbing is not disconnected when installers arrive we will reschedule your installation for our next available date and you will be charged a return trip fee minimum of $150. We have recommended plumbers if needed.

While T Brothers Tile is committed to excellence, high quality, and will take every precaution please be aware that countertop installation is a construction process. Noise, dust, and scratches to walls, cabinets, floors, or nearby items are rare but possible. These items are considered incidental damage and are the customer’s responsibility to repair.

Material Disclaimer – Marble, Granite, and other natural materials do vary in color, polish, structure, and movement. Inherent in these materials are sometimes visible fissures, pits, and inclusions that are not flaws in the stone. It is the customer’s responsibility to review material for unwanted spots. While T Brothers only uses the best quality stone available it does not guarantee flawless materials. Like diamonds these also make up the beauty and uniqueness of natural stone.

When you supply the material.

December 20, 2014 by T Brothers Tile ·

Adams Pool LV  trowel marks visable behind tilesI got a call from a customer we did a pool tile job for. He supplied about $6,000 in glass tile and it seems that the tile was cracking. new website list . He notified the manufactuer and sent them pictures. Their response “it was the thin-set the installer used” That seems like an odd statment. He sent pictures and it didn’t make sense to me how thin-set (an inanimate object) could cause a crack. So ( like all responsible contractors do) we went out to inspect the job.  I called the Thin-set manufactures rep and scheduled a time to go out there. Upon inspection I viewed tile that seems to randomly crack. The homeowner said it was the “light blue” ones. ask kids . After reviewing left over sheets front the original insulation we realized that theses “light blue” ones were the back side of the iridescent tiles. Looking at the profile the glass seemed to be fused together. The glass supplier said the thin set we used didn’t allow the glass to move and thats what causes cracks. Cracks are caused by pressure & stress. Alleviating those eliminate cracks. Usually you’ll see those in linear directions. I thought that these random single tile cracks didn’t make any sense. So I asked if the homeowner had a heat gun I thought if we get the glass hot to the touch (like it is in the sun) and then drop cold water on it and see what happens. Sure enough the tile cracked. Proving that the cracks are caused by cold water hitting a hot tile. The waterline tiles that had cracked in a linear direction were caused by the concrete slab pushing outward. So now since the homeowner supplied the material he now has to figure out how to battle with a supplier that never even seriously wanted to address his issue. When I supply material I mark it up. Its what happens in business. What it gives my clients is peace of mind that if there is an issue we will fight with them since we “supplied” the tile. I have several jobs where we did what it took to make the job right even in some cases at our own expense. More on that in my next blog.
