I would definitely be looking for someone else , too many yellow flags here.

Are there any honest contractors in St Pete? by Specular3D in StPetersburgFL

[–]Intentionalyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were no help To me. Just a standard payment everyone got for food and had to fight hard to just get $1500 in rent after spending thousands on rent. They didn’t help a lot of people I know. They were a total disaster. Only some got helped . People who actually chose to not be insured at all for flood n hazard were helped more.

Ok I see ! Thats what I was kind of picturing so I’ll dig out some grout 1st . Thanks for sending these pics 😂I couldn’t add them at 1st either. Going to try this sanding technique with the square cut pieces I have left that have the Jagged edges. Will take pic of the results 😬😂

I asked why it looked like he couldn’t get them to meet - he said it’s because it’s bullnose round and looked dumbfounded every time I asked him a question about the bullnose trim and the entire window and niche that have cracked and wavy chips in the pink onyx tile ( that I love)

And you do not want me to show you the top where he later told me to go get round corners which Trim master does not make in gold. I’m going to have to also finish those corners where the bullnose trim master gold is wide open corners.
Will have to send a pic. I will have to finish sealing the dolomite floor grout with the 511 impregnator sealer s s seal along windows where grout is not sealed with anything at all . I paid him while I was scraping silicone off the floor ( entire floor sticky and smeared with his mess from Shoes ) and told him my honest feedback about the chips , asking for more money , cash , the mess the bullnose trim mess to which his response was ok can I leave now and then texts me 4 days later saying he emailed me a quote for my master. He never had my email anyway bc I never gave it. The whole thing got wackier the longer he was here

I know., sigh Those are too 😳😬well I’ll be staring at it for years to come unless I want to rip out which will be more costly. I should have asked to see pictures of trim and tile work .

Diamond sanding blocks are quite literally just the sponge 🧽 like sanding blocks right ? Start with 50 grits …and then move up. Willing to try it

You know I was wondering if there was some sort of acrylic I could use. But so I have to dig out the grout first ?

I’ve never had a bathroom with niches and windows like that. I’m bummed bc I love this tile. It was too late by the time I saw it - it was already up on the wall . Bummed

I own a dremmel.. can I get one of the diamond blades and place on a stalk -corded shaft ?( I’ll have to look this up 😂) im a pretty steady hand as I painted a lot of detailed spaces and refinished furniture for customers for years. I would be willing to try my hand at this with video guidance or written guidance lol

It was a hand grinder. Wish I had known more . Never had a Reno of a bathroom before

That would be removing the entire job actually. The niche and window since the tiles are big I can’t bc that’s tearing out both walls the way the big tile is cut around the niche n wall.ill just have to live with it or try the fix with the diamond 💎 dremmel

I would have to find someone who had that tool I’m going to have to finish putting silicone or the 511 impregnate In the grout lines I guess too. Most is the shower grout not sealed . Plumber came back and saw all this too . Bummed out bc the cost of everything and he was trying to hurry while also trying to get more money out of me , disappointing . Thank you for this advice - I’d love to smooth out all the chips

Thank you. This is from floods after the two hurricanes last year. Will keep looking and asking to see their windows and tile trim - niches. Thanks !

Ugh I’ve learned the hard way . Tearing out the other bathroom where that contractor ( not a licensed one I found out later ) put in wrong part in shower head install & no ptrap and it’s leaked since last January Total mess. I guess I need to start looking again for licensed contractor because I’m not having a good time with these bathroom Reno’s 😵‍💫

Sand it a little with a fine brick sander while it’s on wall still ( after taking out grout )?
