What you don't know about Warranties CAN hurt you!

What we do and What they are.
 
  • image See for yourself.
  •  Below are some excerpts from the linked warranties. Some I just cannot find what is guaranteed. Some you will have to follow link after link to finally see what satisfies the warranty. Usually they want to make sure you use the most expensive materials and almost non-existent installation procedures in order for you to get a real warranty. If you do not know or follow the full procedure? No Warranty. The abundant cost to do so, is not even mentioned. Some warranties will cost you a LOT of money. Just take a little time and explore and see for yourself.

Some of the examples:

  •  Did you register your job within 30 days? Sorry, Not Covered.
  • Did you use Licensed Contractor with approved trade school certification for the installer? No Warranty.
  • Was your job over 5,000 sq. ft. and you did not send in your plans for pre-approval? No Warranty.
  • Did you use some other companies ANSI 118.4 thinset mortar? Loss or drastic reduction of Warranty to 1 year.
  • Did you make a 10X10 mock up floor, have a job meeting and use every material they have listed? NO warranty.
  • Use someone's else's grout? Warranty drops to 1 year.
  • Warranty says 5 years? 15 years? Life Time? and if you read the fine print, it is a product warranties saying that their material will not rot or be defective. It does not include a performance warranty if your tile cracks.....It only looks that way! It cracks, someone else's loss.
  • You put down a 3 foot wide membrane over a crack? Unless full floor in most cases..NO warranty!
  • They say it isolates up to 3/8", or 1/8", etc. but they will not guarantee it! So look close at the verbiage.

    What is in a warranty? We make it easy to compare. Below are the links to our competitors warranties. Don't take our word for it, read for yourself.
    most likely their is NO warranty in effect at all for your past installations They are designed that way,
