Even though this is not really the right place and I actually didn’t want to comment on such topics anymore – this really stinks. With methods like this, inexperienced homeowners are being taken for a ride. For a layperson, floor-to-ceiling usually means (even in the attic) up to the horizontal ceiling.

These are exactly the reasons why I would never build with a construction company. If you get the "wrong" one, there will be many issues with the house that you can argue about.
If my architect passes something like that on to the tile setter, or even specifies it without consulting me first about what is ceiling and what is wall, he will get into trouble with me, because that’s what I hired him for.
If he now wants tiles on the sloped ceiling, they will probably cost twice as much as the others.

No one is helped if we write what people want to hear! ;-)
If only the judge settles it, at least the lawyer earns something? :-?
What was stated in the construction description?
What is part of the contract?
Anyone who doesn’t question everything thoroughly can quite easily be misled.
A pity, but true!

The tiler charges no more than for the wall tiles; we are sharing the costs for tiling the sloped ceiling.
