My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Tile workmanship around skimmer?

12 years ago

We are in the tile process of our pool build and I am questioning the quality of work done around the skimmer box. We went with the 1.5" upgrade tiles and I expected a few tiles to be not 100% straight and I know they haven't cleaned up the area of excess grout/mortar but I am feeling uneasy about how it looks. Need some other opinions if I'm being overly picky or not...

Thanks and let me know!
