A contractor I hired in Austin said he never uses a level for tile, just goes by feel. Is that normal?

That's a huge red flag right there. A good tile job needs to be level and flat, period. Going by feel is a fast way to get lippage and a wavy floor. It shows a lack of basic care for the work. You should find someone else who uses the right tools.

So he just eyeballs it? What did he say when you asked him about that?

Kinda like how people skip reading instructions and just wing it.
