    This complaint is in regard to a shower wall tile repair job. The dates of the work occured over three different time periods: 2/19/24-2/23/24, July 31, 2024, and December 27, 2024. My complaint regards the dates of 7/31/24 and 12/27/24. The original work began in February 2024 at a cost of $3762.50. All seemed fine and I was happy with the work that ***** (the Foley employee) had done. I realized the grout had not been sealed and research revealed that it is SOP in the tile business to not seal the grout unless it is a "new build". I was never told of this and it is nowhere in any of the paperwork that I signed. I called Foley's for some guidance and was told to make sure the grout was dry and to follow the directions of the grout sealer I chose. I waited until June to begin the grout sealer process due to the strict warnings and directions on the sealer. This is when I discovered some small cracks in the new grout. I called Foley's to ask them to come out to repair the cracks in the grout, Instead of sending Cliff out for the repair, the owner Chick Foley came out for the repair. When he arrived he claimed he didn't have matching grout (extremely unprofessional), but that he had white grout. I foolishly agreed, mainly because I wanted the cracks repaired as soon as possible so as not to cause damage to the wall behind. The work was extremely sloppy and left the wall and shower area a mess. After trying to fix things on my own and realizing that I should not be repairing work I paid a professional to do, I called ***** again. This time he came out on 12/27/24. I stated that my expectation was that the grout on all four walls match before he left, as they were when ***** had done the original work. The result was even worse. I paid for a professional job to be done and completed and that has yet to happen. The contract I signed has not been fulfilled. I ask that either ***** be sent out to fix the mess ***** created or I want my money refunded.

    Businesses and Customers should be civil, courteous and polite in their responses to complaints. It is important to remain professional and productive when participating in the BBB complaint process.
    At this time, I am rejecting the response, as I have provided Foley and Sons with the dates of July 2 & 3, 2025 (Wednesday and Thursday) twice. First on Thursday May 22, 2025, via a phone conversation with ***** ******* and again on Friday May 30, 2025, via text to ***** Foley. I have not yet received confirmation regarding those dates.  Also, I had previously provided the dates of Monday, May 26, 2025, and Monday, June 2, 2025, to ***** ******* via our phone conversation on May 22, 2025. I have also not been provided with the information as to who will be making the repairs as I have been informed that ***** has left the company.
