Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

I can't help myself. I had to post this here. This is a perfect example of what "budget prices" will get you. http://houston.backpage.com/services...e=oid%3A435197

Re: Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

Mods....maybe this topic should go in flooring, but I think it's a good general topic as well. Move if necessary.

Re: Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

It's an add for "budget acid stain and tile work" somehwere in the Houston area. I think the pictures and the title speak enough.

Re: Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

The problem is that 70% of Homeowners dont know what quality is.

The 30% is what we should be targeting

Re: Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

you got to be kidding me

I thought that was a job gone bad picture post

but it's somebody trying to get work

you got to be kidding me

words cant describe that puke-ridden acid stain

and I love that doorway pattern of triangular tiles
and them huge grout gaps around door casing

I wish that guy was in my area

we'd make a killing off dropping off business cards to all his jobs after he was done destroying them

we're starting a tear-out and re-tile in few weeks of a low-bidder
Scarey thing is I almost hired the guy as help last summer

I rather a guy tell me he knows absolutely nothing, than say they've done tile work for years

or the guys that say painting is easy and can't tape things off right never mind cut ceilings

I'm gonna print that picture and attach hit to my "other guys" package
We got a great Home Depot horror story. I think I got it off here somewhere.
looking for a Lowe's one

Re: Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

Sad to see it is Houston, however it doesn't surprise me

Mr and Mrs. Yuppie would likely live with it if the price was right. They can still tell their friends what they have...Just never invite them over!

Re: Acid Stain And Tile Work At Budget Prices!

Hard to imagine someone asking "uh, yes, I'm looking for a sorta blood covered fleshie texture, can you do that?"

Not AA's... The other dude. AA does it right.
