  I’m working on finding out the contractor so I can ban them from my coop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been here for 2 years. I believe at least the tile flooring in the 2 bathrooms and kitchen all are subject to similar poor craftsmanship.

  Regarding budget vs time, time is the limiting factor. I’m in a HCOL area and will be getting some estimates in the near future from contractors.

  No tongue and groove in this one. I’d be looking at at least 90 sqft of tile. Pricey, but still much cheaper than going the contractor route.

  Thanks for the comments! I’ve always hated the flooring in this room, but didn’t have the hands on experience to say why. My biggest concern at this point is referenced in another poster’s comment regarding floor leveling.

  If it’s a matter of replacing tile, I can probably do a decent enough job, but I might be over my head if there’s significant problems with the sub floor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve kind of suspected as much for a while. I can feel certain other areas with a similar wobble.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bitter pill to swallow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no give or flexibility to these. I’d say tile of some sort. Here are the sides and bottom:

  100 year old building here. The floors were definitely not level prior to this project. This bathroom was originally two rooms combined into one and I’m sure the prior owner cut corners on the renovation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a hard, inflexible material. I have heard it referred to as composite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure if it changes anything, but they added what looks like a dark grout or potentially caulking between the wall/floor seam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s a dark grout.

  No, but my standards for humor might be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately there is no baseboard to speak of in the bathroom. Here’s a better picture of the floor meeting the wall. This extends all around the room.

  I don’t think it is. Seems like a large format synthetic slate material.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s very possible this was installed poorly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve updated the original post, but no, not wood. Seems like a smoothed slate, I’d assume artificial material.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flooring Pop⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I did not do this installation, so any history of the install would be speculation.
