He promised to show up first thing Monday morning to begin what he estimated to be a 2 and 1/2 day job. It was raining but it stopped at 10am. When called, he said he would arrive "after lunch". He never came. He never called. On Tues. morning, he called at 8:30 to explain that he was "short-handed" but would be over "in a little while." When asked what "a little while" meant he said around 10am. He was then told that we decided to get someone else. He said "I didn't realize you were in such a hurry" and hung up on my husband. There were safety and health issues associated with this job and his uncertain working times (trapping us in the house for hours), weak excuses, and lack of professionalism made it impossible to proceed with his services. We couldn't be sure whether his description of the repair would be adequate. Brent fails to meet time committments of any kind. If you want a job done in a timely and reliable manner then you will need to avoid this company entirely. He promises a "contract" but doesn't show up with one. He describes elaborate work projects but fails to clearly dileneate or estimate them properly.
Description of Work: Although Brent responded promptly to an emergency situation, everything after that was disastrous. He searched for and located the source of a leak. He opened several holes in the drywall looking for damage and spent a great deal of (wasted) time talking about unrelated matters.

I was so excited to get new floors that I wanted it to go fast. It went slow because of the type of tile we chose, but now it is done and the floor looks lovely. We need more tile work done and we will be calling Brent.
Description of Work: Brent removed foyer, hall and laundry room tile and prepared the slab for new tile. We decided on rectified tile because of the small grout lines. He was very accommodating to our whims. My husband had ideas of which colors of tiles needed to be placed in certain spots.

Company started project as scheduled and called if an infrequent delay arose. As work evolved we requested additional work such as replacing vanity in bath that was tiled. We also added some custom work to tie in existing tile flooring with new tile being installed. Contractor pointed out and corrected - with our agreement - some pre-existing flaws in workmanship dating back to original construction of the home. All in all, the project went very well. We have since recommended this contractor to our daughter for some work needed in her newly purchased home.
Description of Work: This company was retained to install tile flooring in master bath, laundry room, a hallway as well as a rear entrance way and pool bath. Workmanship was meticulous and of excellent quality. While flooring is their specialty, owner is handy in respect to carpentry, plumbing and other general contracting skills. Owner was found to be honest and of high integrity.
