a transition piece of the wood flooring
You might be able to find a transition strip to place in the gap. You would want to match the color of your wood flooring. You can maybe ask about that at a local Home Depot or Lowes store, or other flooring store.
look at Lowe's or Home Depot for floor "transitions" You should be able to find something to bridge the gap
The hardwood manufacturer should offer transition strips
if the floor is older check a big box store they should hAve something that will work
You need a piece of wooden threshold trim, and since they cut it too short, they should bring a piece and fix it.
Before springing for the cost (albeit a small amount) of the transition strip, I would ask the installers to return and correct their error of cutting the tile too short. When our wooden floors were laid, our installer placed a transition "bridge" between the wood and carpet; that was included in the price of the job.
go to the hardware store and find a wide transition piece for door jam
WHen we had ours done I didnt want the "hump" of a transition strip as I tend to be clutzy and trip easily. We filled in the space with a caulk color that matches the tile. You can hardly tell that it is there.
