Penate Tile Marble & Wood Floor Installation

ok too expensive

Miguel showed up on time for the estimate and the work. It was less than 24 hours from the time I called until I had the complete written estimate and an installation date. I couldn't be happier with the quality of work and price for the job. I actually selected and purchased the materials myself. The job took approximately 2.5 days. Miguel and his son are very hard workers and their work is of very high quality. They did an excellent job with the installation and clean up afterwards. I highly recommend this company. and plan on using them in the future for other jobs.

Bottom line, I think he lied to me on the estimates and the quantity of tile required. I originally thought he was going to do reasonable quality work, but that is not what happened.

Spoke with Miguel initially and he was supposed to call on the weekend to come look at the job. When he hadn't called a week later, I called back and he again said he would come by on the weekend. Never heard from him and gave up.

Miguel Penate has done a couple of good sized projects for me. The quality of work is very good. The first project was installing tile in two showers which included ceramic tile, glass tile, and metal trim along with glass corner shelves. The results were very good. So, I contacted him to do a larger project for me in another condo that I bought - a complete remodel - floor tile with tile baseboards & sound proofing membrane and two complete bathroom remodels. Miguel and his co-workers are hard workers and put in a full day's work on the days that they are here. They take pride in their work and they have the skills and experience to deliver very good to excellent work. Another floor tile installer had installed tile in my first condo and the installation was a B+ ... I had Miguel install floor tile in my second condo with the same tile as the first and his work was a solid A ... better than the other tile installer. The tile installed was 24"x24" rectified porcelain tile installed like marble with 1/16" grout lines. Miguel quoted me prices that were reasonable and came in either close to or on the quoted price. If there were any issues along the way (as there is with any large remodel project), Miguel fixed them right away. He is a contractor that you can work with and you will be pleased with the results. The bottom line is, would I contact Miguel again for another project? The answer is 'yes'. I will recommend him to my friends and neighbors. If you are looking for quality floor and bathroom tile installation, then you should give him a call.

He helped me so much. I really needed someone to come and do this job after the other company completely ruined my tiling. He finished the job and did what he had to do for me. I am so appreciative that he was able to help me. What a professional, hard working man, who went 200% out of his way for me.

Overall...I did not go with Penante, I really wish I had because Penny Pare from A-1 Inside and Out came out cheaper but did a horrible job!

I didn’t go with them but I should have. I went with someone else because they were expensive on the painting part. They came within the time that they said they would. I would definitely consider them in the future.

I ended up not using Penate Tile Marble & Wood Floor Installation Company because I thought that the person who came out was horrible. He was so unprofessional that he came to my house and took wood samples from me saying that he wanted to match it and he never returned it back to me. He never got back to me with a quote either. I think that he was terrible. I would absolutely not contact them in future.

It went very well. See above.

I liked everything that he did. He's very meticulous. They're very detail-oriented and neat. HE was punctual. I don't think I can say anything bad about them.

I selected this company based on the positive reports posted on Angie's List. Miguel Penate lived up to these accolades and more. First, his price was very reasonable. Second, this was seriously quality work. Miguel is a perfectionist- he is detail oriented. The job took about a week & a half and was done methodically. All debris was removed on an ongoing basis which made the house habitable while the work was done. Miguel and his crew were always punctual and stayed till the day's goal was accomplished. If you are looking for an honest, hard working and meticulous person to install your tile, this is the man you want! I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome and would recommend him in a heartbeat. I will be using him to remodel my bathroom.

The finished job is beautiful. Miguel takes pride in this work. His employees Frankie and Jorge are also capable fellows. Miguel has since done a bathroom for me and, again, he was tenacious until it was done right. He is coming again soon to do my second bath. The bottom line is that Miguel has integrity and that is so hard to find. I trust him. A word of advice to readers planning to buy tile: You need to become an informed consumer. Go on-line and learn enough to choose a quality tile. Research the tile manufactuer and the tile you are considering. There are industry specifications as to permeability, hardness, and the like. This affects how it will wear. If you can't find the specs on a tile, or even who the manufactuer is - don't buy it. Don't just go into a showroom and be sold something. If you buy a tile that is not properly manufactured - that is not flat, for example, and this is not uncommon with tiles made in certain countries - then your installer could run into problems, and a tile that is not flat may crack over time. Miguel did not choose my tile for me, but he did suggest a couple brands. I asked him to guide me a little so I didn't buy the wrong tile, then I researched and decided on one, and it should wear well and maintain its beauty for a very long time.

We could not have been more pleased with the job performed. He and his crew worked long days to get the job done in the time frame required (custom closets were being installed and the tile had to be done before that could be done). All work was performed professionally and they cleaned up after themselves. We have already asked him do tile our master bath when that project is ready to be done and would recommend him to anybody without hesitation.

Miguel showed up when he said he would to give a quote. He did a thorough inspection and worked up a very reasonable quote on the spot. We settled on a day he could start the job and he showed up on time ready to go. He and his workers did an excellent job- straight lines- level tiles and completed it in good time. I had different tiles for the bathroom and asked him to cut it on the diagonal and he did a fantastic job. It looked great! He also removed the old toilet and installed a new one for me for an additional charge and did a great job on that as well. He is a very easy going hard working guy that is very professional and has a very good work ethic. I would highly recommend him (actually already have to a friend of mine) and will call on him again when we are ready for to put some wood floors down as he also does those as well.

It went very well. Miguel picked up my initial call and came when scheduled to measure and provide a quote. During that visit he spent the time to discuss various options for threshold work given that the tile being installed required some sort of transition to other rooms' existing tile. A few weeks later, once I had ordered the tile and was ready for its installation, Miguel came on the date discussed (unfortunately the tile delivery was late) and he used the time to prep the floor. Each day thereafter, he and/or his assistant, Frankie, came each day when expected (on one day a personal but very justifiable issue prevented Miguel from coming, but there was no appreciable delay caused by this). Both Miguel and Frankie worked very diligently and with great attention to detail. With a bit of creativity on my part, I designed some custom cut work and a unique foyer design element. Miguel executed these perfectly (although there was an additional but reasonable charge for this).

We found Miguel Penate on Angie's List and took a chance by calling him - our first time using the List. Miguel came the next day and gave us an estimate on our family room - a large space with a horrible rug. For $1,400, Miguel said that they would tear up the existing rug and put down the tile that we had chosen - it seemed too good to be true, but we went for it. Miguel told us exactly what we needed to buy from tile, to thin set to grout. A few days later, he went to the tile store and picked up everything and within three days, we had a brand new floor. Miguel and his assistant were immaculately clean - they left my house and garage looking better than when they came. The work was flawless - and they even did little extras like securing a loose step and adding tile where it had not been, just because it would look better in the end. Before he left, I had Miguel measure four of my bedrooms so he can do those next!

The chattahoochee had been installed back in the 80's and although very old, it was also well stuck to the ground. When Miguel finished removing the old stuff, we realized it had been about one inch deep. He installed the ceramic tiles in several days, since he had to constantly check the weather report for rain. He and his assistant were very neat and meticulous in preparing the area, keeping it clean from falling leaves, debris, even using a industrial strength vacuum cleaner, before and during the install. They even trimmed some of the plants around the area to insure a clean and tidy area and left me with a gorgeous backyard and entrance. You can tell by the wonderful results, that Miguel and his crew take great pride in the work they do. He was always punctual and kept us informed of what was going on. He's easy to talk to and flexible to work with. I'm having Miguel come back, as soon as he has an opening to do our balconies, too.

Miguel Penate's workmanship is excellent, high quality. He takes pride in his work,and used quality materials for the job which is hard to find these days. Prior to selecting Miguel, we had numerous tilers come to my home and check out the situation and give me estimates. Not one was able to satisfy my requirements as far as price, quality and the type of materials they would use to install the tiles. Almost every tiler that came to my home to give me an estimate raised RED FLAGS for one reason or another and was one disappointment after another until we found Miguel Penate. As a matter of fact, one tiler was set to do this job for me and cancelled 2 days before he was to start. In the end that was the best cancellation that ever took place. Took 6 months to find Miguel and it was well worth the wait. He was extremely attentive to me, always arrived on time and was very personable. He communicated any issues and always had a resolution. I would recommend Miguel Penate in a heartbeat!!
