We're keeping a detailed log of all the repairs we've had to do after mistakenly hiring FJ Smith Contracting to do our renovations. It's a never ending, horrible experience that we wouldn't wish on anyone. So beware, it truly matters who you hire to come into your home. We mistakenly hired Francis Smith.
Here are pictures of the repair process we had to go through to fix water damage in our bathroom. After the tiles were removed, it was revealed that FJ Smith contracting didn't create a wet area around the shower - any crack in the caulking allowed water to seep under the tiles, soak the thinset, and loosen tiles to the point where some just lifted off the floor. FJ Smith contracting placed tiles over the plywood subfloor which was soaked.
The professional tilers we hired to fix FJ Smith's shoddy work, first sealed the subfloor to create a wet area, then reinstalled the tiles in the shower and bathroom floors.
