James Mathewson did a tile installation in my home last year. The installer he sent to my home did an awful job laying the tiles. The tiles were not level nor were they evenly spaced. The installer said he didn't need to use spacers or chalk lines. The tiles were 13 x 13 installed on an angle. James Mathewson said it would take a week to do the job. The installer he sent would work one day then take three off. He called sick a couple of times. One month after he started, James sent me a contract via email which he said I had to sign or he would not come back. In the contract he states what he will finish...grout, quarter round, and what he won't fix. The contract also states that I must pay him the other 50% (almost $5,000.00) on the last day of completion. I could only walk on the floor with shoes on and even then I could feel the height difference. Chairs and plant stand was tippy. I had to hire another contractor to do the job again which cost more money because I now had to pay to rip out tiles. I am now in the process of going to small claims court. I complained to BBB and Consumer Protection agency but all they can do is write a letter to him. The Consumer Protection Agency does have him listed on their "Beware" list. I phoned their headquarters in Georgia but they say there's nothing they can do because he is an independently owned franchise. Beware of this company.
