It looks like some of my early tile jobs. I'm glad to see the drywall screws held up for so long, but I doubt mine did. I often wonder what ever became of those bathrooms... probably remodeled a couple of times over by now. Oh, the memories.
It's obvious that Isaac is an intelligent individual. He articulates the intricacies of the job while using down to earth language. He also shows alot of empathy for his customers. That's the type of contractor I would want working on my home.
My eyes hurt already from your lack of safety glasses and hammerin on that tile. Tile over an acrylic "kit" tub is hilariously wrong. So bad! Thanks for sharing!
Just pulled up 18” x 18” porcelain off a slab. The homeowners paid for afm. The contractor just used roofing paper then 3/8 x 1/4 trowel install over that. 700’ of the easiest tile demo on a slab ever! 🤙🏼
A 16 inch rough toilet would have solved that toilet problem with no plumbing work involved. Original builder should be ashamed of themselves. I just recently started watching your vids and I gotta say you do nice work, and it's great seeing a guy that learns from his and other people's mistakes. Keep up the good work.
I hope you replace the tab because by throwing his tools and the rest of the broken tile inside the tub you chipped out fibreglass very easily I don’t know if this is proper way of removing tiles
I'm a Virginia boy and I thought we had allot of farmland. Used to live in Portland and driving home through california and I couldn't believe how many acres of grapes , olives, citrus etc there is. Beautiful state
This is home owner quality job and I don't believe licensing contractors did it... Home owners are shady and didn't want to get caught working without permits... Therefore blamed on contractors..
If you don't/can't believe that LOTS of so-called "professionals" do work like this then you haven't been around much and probably still a youngster OR you're just plain ignorant.
I did the same thing to my house 14 years ago. I did accent with black absolute diamonds in joints and border. Did build out flush with edge of tub. Tub choice was due to depth, extra deep. Before you said it, toilet offset flange was in my mind. You know your stuff. Sorry for the hate that you had to change your you tube name, Isaac. Tile, I call myself a mechanic. Automobiles, even though I’m certified, I’m an installer. Love your videos.
I do tile as well as many other things . And I have learned that there are no short cuts when it comes to anything really , but tile especially . I use all shluter stuff and I also use those spacers that hold the tiles flush with each other . How could someone leave it like this , especially in their own home
Offsets tend to have more issues with blockages, kind of a last resort option. That far off the wall it really needs to be moved. Hopefully the customer went with that option.
I love when you say I'm just going to knock a couple of tiles to take a look.... literally couple of minutes later you are standing in a floor 🤣👌should be a meme... keep up the good work
As my high school shop teacher would say "that's not what the claw side of the hammer is for" And if that is a titanium hammer you have to be careful for flying metal splinters that can happen when you hit the titanium hammer against a harder steel, like chisels, prybars, screws. They are really painful and can take out an eye or get embedded under the skin. Be careful. Thank you for the video.
Seeing as the tile goes 10 feet up the wall, I don't imagine any routine cleaning would touch the haze that he was pulling off from higher up along the wall.
No once grout dries on tile it’s almost impossible to clean it off without scratching or damaging the tile it’s a sloppy Job on the clean up during grouting
Northern California is where the normal people come from.The problem is by the end of the job every body is tired and lets stuff go, the tile would be the very end. Theres always a few misstakes nothing comes perfect its easy to come in at the end and point out things.
Yeah....poor installers. Very tired and can't function effectively and are unable to achieve any quality or correctness at the end of a very long and hard 2 or 3 days of working.....inside even; out of the weather. lmao! That's hilarious.
@@roccoconte2960 It's a VERY poorly done job - OVERALL....not just the edge....lol. Likely a good indicator of the quality of things that can't be seen too. Things that will start creating headaches and costs way too soon.
I ran into a guy at the store the other day who was in a uniform for a plumbing company or something like that who was arguing with his buddy about what to buy for a tile job - apparently it was their first time doing a tile job, and they appeared to have almost no idea what to buy or how to even take basic measurements. It honestly kind of ruined my day just thinking of the fact that someone was going to have to deal with the aftermath of that in their home or business.
Toilet closet bend should be good at 13" to accommodate for drywall but that's not code . Upc require toilet front to wall is 24"" ,IRC requires 21" to wall.
First thing I noticed (during the demo) ... no Red Guard, no Kerdi, nor any other of several similar products. And I only know what I've seen on YT before I did my own tiling job.
Why would you need to thinset hardie backer to green board? Also major complaint is the wrong tub? Not great but def not horrible. Especially if contractor lived in the house
Nice Ferguson name drop bro! I run one of the branches in SoCal and we get too many home owners trying to do there own projects and they are lost most of the time. I love watching your videos. Iv started to remodel my own house and have learned so much from you. Appreciate you posting videos bro. Great work Thank you!!
The more I see about tile I'd choose acrylic when it comes time for a remodel. Tile is beautiful but my god the grout is porous and all of that bushwa.
To me it looks like the 'contractor' delivered a house with at least one unfinished bathroom (that one) - who ever owned it next is responsible for the unprofessional work that has been done - if that bath is 15 years old I would say it has had hardly any use as you have pointed out there is still the grout haze on some of the tile - no waterproofing - toilet not against the wall and all the other things tell me that a weekend warrior is responsible for this masterpiece.
They wanted to be able to run that 9” paint roller behind the toilet! You’d be amazed at how some people make up their own shit thinking it’s better than the standard. Just looked at a new build here in Texas and the tub flange wasn’t secured, the skirt flopped in like 3-4” and there wasn’t any mortar beneath the tub basin. You could push the top lip down with your finger. No ledger. The kicker wall on the water side wasn’t deep enough so the flange was floating. They wrapped it in green board. The father of the clients was a “builder”/ professional plumber. Said he’d put some screw in the tub rim and that guys set tile on green board all of the time… they may, but not this guy. Respectfully declined that job.
I just wanted to leave comments after watching one of your previous video. Thanks for great video. If you want to do it right , hire someone have good refer and experienced or done this many times.
Isn’t the bottom grout line supposed to be silicone grout caulking that way it can flex with the house same with inside walls were the tile meet? I am not a pro but still even I can tell How crappy of a job they did.
8:31 would really help if adding bathtub surface protection before throwing garbage tiles into it and scratching/damaging nice bathtub surface badly... :(
Not only is there drywall behind the cementboard, the drywall also has the same color and texture as the rest of the room. What's up with that? Did the room start life without a tub surround?
Normally I get down on guys finding little nit pick things to tear someone down but this was legit ,other than the sheety workmanship it held up pretty good ,,gotta love the tub shower enclosure ,,I guess they couldn't get the panels,,hahah and this was a licensed builder ,,what a joke
Before hammering out the tile, I would have removed the toilet. Last thing you need is pieces of broken tile smashing into a toilet you aren’t replacing. I mean that’s just common sense! Another example of a do it right video with out doing it right. Other than that 👍
To explain, I'm thinking the contractor hired someone out for cheap. A lot of contractors will find someone young and inexperienced and let them do work on their own house for practically nothing as a trial run to see if they're good enough to use on more jobs. Of course the working contractor gets screwed generally, as he's working for well below market rate in these scenarios, but in 99% of circumstances the contractor says/implies that there will be more work for them if the other contractor gives him a lowball deal. In most cases contractors tend to just run around forever getting new people like this getting shitty but well priced work done on their own houses with this "I'll get you more work!" promise.
My bathroom was done that way you are showing your video, I use a water sealer every 3 years, will I have problems with it? The job was done 14 years ago and I don’t see anything wrong, but you’re scaring me already, thanks
In America, why can’t you build from "normal" materials? There are no hurricanes or earthquakes in Europe, yet the walls are made of brick and plastered. This can be properly tiled.
Brick construction is terrible in earthquakes, it just collapses. I know, because I live in New Zealand. You can only use brick for cladding, the structural strength comes from timber or steel framing. Or steel reinforced concrete blocks.
This looks like the homeowners wanted the old fashion walls that matched the tub removed and didn't want to spend on a new tub. It explains why they had to put cement board over the drywall too.
He said the house was built by a professional contractor and this is how the "pro" contractor built this shamble of a bathroom. The new homeowners called him in to renovate.
Everyone always looking for the bottom dollar. Myself included lol. Usually means I’m doing it myself if possible, or putting it off for a really long time.
I'm not buying the contractor/owner build. I would guess the previous owner paid for a cheap remodel and the guy charged them $2000 to do that job. Bet you would have charged them $8000? Some people can't afford over priced contractors. Yes the job is crap but you get what you pay for. Did you remember to check out what kind of car they drive to help work up your estimate as well??? People! Get a building permit and have the job inspected through out it's stages. You never know what your contractor builder is doing behind your back...
It's not the installers fault it's the home owners u get what you pay for home owners expect quality work for cheap prices a professional shower installer is not cheap he's fair keep that in mind
You need acid to get rid of haze if it wasn’t initially cleaned off. I know cause I didn’t get all the haze off of my remodel and once dried, it was impossible to get off.
I'm sure they probably cleaned the immediate area, but didn't think to clean all the way up to the ceiling. It's another reason to not tile all the way up if you have a high ceiling, makes any type of routine cleaning difficult so most will only clean as far as they can comfortably reach.
Tub for solely washing their dog. Only in California, Oy! Good on them though. Live your best life. Give them the best dog washing tub the first world has ever seen!
Where do you start on how bad that shower is..did you even look at the layout cuz you didn't say anything about how bad the 1/3 layout was done.. then the accent, then he missed the layout again... I just installed one of those tubs for a lady in florida she ordered everything online and she went with it anyways..one of the big problems is if she ever wanted to have shower doors she would have to have a extra custom strip to overcome the bump out..
Demoing this tile just got a little bit easier (always a double edge sword when ppl don’t necessarily install the correct way. Makes removing easier, at times, but can also calls its own issues.....). Remove fixtures & pull the wall right off😉 Also, yeah, when think of CA, do think of city & not country, lol, but it sure is beauty out there. Cheers✌🏼
There's a lot of hacks out there!!! Their work is absolutely embarrassing. Next time...hire a professional from the get go. Pro's like tile coach are obviously gonna change top dollar...but it's a bathroom...it's one of the most important parts of the home. Don't cheap out on the bathrooms or kitchens .. those are the life lines of the home.
Thanks for your videos. Like you said, I learned more from what not to do as you have pointed out in your videos. PS: Please improve your video with better focus management.
It amazes me the shit job landlords and renovators are willing to lose money to when I see shit work like this, sadly it’s abundant and not addressed soon enough! Everyone’s cutting corners just to get something rented or sold!
There is zero reason to use cementitious products in a shower today... zero. High-polymer thinset over a waterproof product like DenseShield. Fabric and waterproofing on seams and penetrations. So simple and no silica exposure.
It looks like some of my early tile jobs. I'm glad to see the drywall screws held up for so long, but I doubt mine did. I often wonder what ever became of those bathrooms... probably remodeled a couple of times over by now. Oh, the memories.

I wonder how much that wall would've moved if you had taken off the plumbing fixtures first. Lol
The whole time im thinking the exact same thing
Facts bro
After 10 years you can get grout haze on your hand maybe the home owner should try cleaning their shower
I'd be embarrassed.
I bet the travertine was never cleaned or sealed after install. That was the haze. 1/2 backer minimum board for walls in showers. Not 1/4.
Exactly
This is home owner quality job and I don't believe licensing contractors did it... Home owners are shady and didn't want to get caught working without permits... Therefore blamed on contractors..
Agreed
The home owner was a contractor

1/8 to 3/16 joints are unacceptable with stone. Even I see that in the video. 1/16 max depending on the quality of the stone.
Are we just not going to talk about the surface finish on the green-painted wall? It looks like the bathroom was used for hammer throwing practice.
ewetubejmcdonne I think that’s on purpose lol. It gives you a cool rough rugged look.
We do that texture from time to time on rustic houses. Quite easy to do actually.
I agree. It looks like a mistake, not a texture on purpose.
😁
I think they were going for "old world" texture but a hit and a miss
Your surprised to see a licensed contractor that sucks at what they do? You just explained what I have to fix and deal with every single day...

nothing in that bathroom would have failed inspection dude. it's just cosmetic complaints
You just demonstrated something important, if you can;t reach a tile for cleaning without a ladder, maybe the tiles shouldn't go that high
Good thing you didn't protect the tub before you scratched the shit out of it with your demo
I mean the contractor didn't clean the haze from the tiles,but what about the consumer.He didn't clean his bathroom for 15 years?😂
You need acid to get rid of haze if it wasn’t initially cleaned off. I know cause I didn’t get all the haze off of my remodel and once dried, it was impossible to get off.
Rub it with dry cheeze cloth or dry microfiber cloth.then vacume away the dust. Seams to work for me
I'm sure they probably cleaned the immediate area, but didn't think to clean all the way up to the ceiling. It's another reason to not tile all the way up if you have a high ceiling, makes any type of routine cleaning difficult so most will only clean as far as they can comfortably reach.
I thought you could at least put a drop close to cover the tub, unless you will to replace that too.
That’s his way of making money !
I mean... he's kinda sketch... this is far from a "bad Tile job".. it's not great, but yea
Issac why are we not wearing safety glasses? What happened? You usually don't do this
