[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And that $0.99 tile needs to be installed exactly the same way as $99 tile. The quality is in whether the correct underlayment, mortar and waterproofing was used. Once the tile is in you can't tell those things, they'll become apparent in a couple of years if the tile cracks and comes loose. That $99 tile isn't any more resistant to cracking than the $0.99 tile. Also important is whether the right tile was chosen for the location. I have a bathroom where the builder chose a beautiful Cremona marble tile for the shower. Unfortunately it's not rated for wet locations and in a couple of years began showing horrible discoloration. That tile was probably $20/SF. Is that quality?[/quote]

Ha. I live in a spec home that was actually mostly extremely well-built (and has been supported by fantastic warranty service), I’d buy again from this builder any day.  However, they did the same thing in the master shower.  One of the few discretionary repairs I’ve done was to tear out that shower floor and replace it with porcelain ceramic.[/quote]
