Contractor telling me i have to use his tile supply comany?
I'm Remodeling my home, Its a $60,000 Job
For a tiny bathroom in my basement with a walk in shower and to put new walls and new floors in the basement
and to put up a tiny bathroom in my living room with a walk in shower
plus a new awning and to put ceramic tiles on my backyard porch
anyways, he came to day with 1 tile and said "do you like it" i said said yes but i want to see more options maybe 10-20 choices because i am spending good money on this project he says " Well they dont have a sample book tiles but i will bring more samples for you"
wtf? I feel something isnt right
There are only two seasons -- winter and Baseball.
Who knows dude, maybe he knows something we dont.
I know from some of my freinds who do tile, they are like ac units, some are better than others,,,,,,,,,,seems to me any one manufacturer would have multiple tiles to chose from.
I have to much slate in my house, wish i had gone with travertine, always liked natural stone.
If the price per square foot works out along the same lines as other contractors i would do it, just make darn good and sure he uses the membrane in the shower pan and make sure he makes the pan, no store bought crap.
I like two shower heads in the ceiling myself, also do yourself a favor and put waterproof speakers in it and a sound system, lights too.
Will he warranty the tiles if you provide them or get them from Home Depot?
I feel he should let you go to his tile supplier. Something doesn't seem right.
On top of being an HVAC contractor I am also a GC When i do a remodel I send my clients to the local tile shop and let them pick. They have a budget to work within but the choices are unlimited.

"I hired an HVAC contractor but he says I must use the HVAC unit he provides. I want to chose from 10-20 different types and brands but he wont let me.
Says if I buy a system at homedepot, he wont warranty it.
