Description of Work: Brian Shulte and crew Tiled my entire condo including putting down a cork sound barrier below the tile. They also tiled the bathroom shower and the kitchen splash. The job was finished on time and within budget. Drian is a real professional who was easy to work. The work went smoothly and Brian kept in touch during the entire process.

Description of Work: The project was a bathroom project which involved removing existing tile and shower pan, replacing all the existing tile backer with new and replacing the floor and wall tile with new large scale porcelain tile. The existing shower pan was leaking and had been built wrong (uncovered upon demolition). Brian described why and how it was built wrong originally, and how his proposed way would prevent a recurrence. In addition, he recommended a complete waterprooof membrane to eliminate the possibility of future issues.

Description of Work: Brian did an awesome job on our shower and tub surround. He removed a step from the front of the tub and replaced the tile on the floor where the step was removed. This was a great improvement! Brian provided us with a list of different tile stores and we picked out a beautiful porcelain tile (made in Turkey) and a glass/stone mosaic accent tile. It looks great!

Description of Work: We hired Brian to replace our guest bathroom tub surround. Brian removed the existing tile and disposed of it, plus debris. He installed new cement board, taped the joints with mesh tape, waterproofed the walls, installed the new tile plus decorative glass accent band and four marble corner shelves, grouted, caulked, replaced the tub hardware and cleaned up. The work was completed in the space of two days.

Description of Work: Looks like Brian's friends wrote the other reviews. Either that, or he simply took a dislike to me and treated me horribly throughout the job. I certainly hope that does not happen to you. He has the ability to do a good job, but he's not about to go out of his way, even in the slightest, to assist a customer. He is quite the prima donna. I'll explain. We re-did the 2 bathrooms in my mother's home. I purchased my own tile. As a result he announced that he didn't get any materials for people who bought their own tile. This, to the extent that I had to leave my work a few times each day to run to get a tube of grout or bag of thinset, etc., as he was unwilling to drive literally the 6 blocks necessary to get to either the local Lowe's or Home Depot. I said nothing but simply did what he asked, as I appreciated his help, and I needed to get the job done. This while he criticized my walls, my tile design - you name it. He did the work but was difficult throughout. He was paid in full when the job was complete. He was not the lowest bid. I am involved with an extremely large construction project that has been ongoing for years and also work in real estate and own a few properties, so I have dealt with a lot of contractors, and I've never been treated this way by anyone. While Brian was finishing the tile work, my plumber had to wait for parts to come in. When they did come in a couple of weeks later, he installed the bath fixtures. At that point, I discovered that Brian had cut a hole in the tile around the shower valve that was way too large. According to other tile folks I have since used, that's not the way it's done. There is no reason at all to cut a hole larger than the valve itself. The valve was existing in the wall when the hole was cut, so it wasn't that Brian had to guess as to size. When the plumber installed the collar that surrounds the shower handle where you turn on the water, the hole cut in the tile still appears outside that thick collar! Rather than bother Brian about it, I spent 2 days trying to get a collar that would be large enough to cover the hole he cut in the tile. Apparently, the collars are fairly standard size, and I could not find one. I had just set down on my calendar to call Brian when he called me! He was supposedly checking on the job and asked me about another bath/shower job that I had mentioned to him at the beginning. My other job was done by another professional, since Brian was not available for a month at the time I mentioned it. The other contractor made great suggestions, built in nooks for soaps and razors, etc. His name is Bob Rothenbush with Serenity Tile Service, and I recommend him highly. I told Brian that, it just so happened that there was a problem with the job he had done and that he would need to repair that one tile. He made an appointment for July 2nd to do the work. Mind you, he called me, so he did have my phone number. Also, the home where the work was done is on lockbox, and he had the code and had gone in and out of the home for a couple of weeks. He told me he would be at the home at 8am July 2nd. It wasn't an option for me to tell him when to be there. He set the time. Fine, I thought. He has the code and my number and can get in and get this done. I went about my work. Brian never told me he needed me to meet him at the home. He had always managed to come and go as he pleased. July 2 came and went, and my colleage who was working at the home later that day told me that Brian had not done the work but simply left his card in the door. He had not attempted to call me at all. When I called Brian, I had had it and left him a VM that I was upset that he had not completed the repair - and never called or anything to tell me if there was some problem! Here is his response (from his text to me): "We had an appointment for 8am Monday morning. I don't save your number or lockbox code. It was deleted. You need to find someone else to do that patch. I am now headed to NJ for the month of July." Suffice it to say, Brian was playing games as he did have my number and was obviously capable of getting in touch with me. By the way, he also had my email address, knew where I lived, knew my last name, and I am quite visible on the internet, so it would have taken no real effort to find a way to connect with me if there was a problem. So, there is my experience. He might have skills, but he doesn't have the professionalism to correct defects in his work, and his attitude is over the top. I am now having to contact another contractor to fix the defects in Brian's work, which seems to be just fine with Brian. I don't normally write reviews, but this is such a terrible experience, and Brian left me no options.

Description of Work: Renovated Master Shower, and Hall Tub/Shower. On the Master Shower: He suggested a great tile store in our area for us to go in and select the tile with a designer form the store. He even suggest some great design ideas, and tile brands to use. He picked up the tile we selected from the tile store. He ripped out existing 4x3 master shower all the way to the slab. This included the tiled walls, shower floor and existing membrane. He supplied & installed all new cementboard. He supplied & install new shower drain. He supplied material for & installed a new mud shower bed.

(and he was nice enough help me pick it up from Home Depot with his truck) The ONLY part he does not do is the plumbing, for obvious reasons. I did not expect him to do this. But he told us exactly the time to have the plumber there. And his estimate was right on time. He talked with the plumber to make sure everything was being done right. He then took a lunch break while the plumber did his part. He then returned to continue the project. On the Hall Bath: He again picked up the tile we selected from the tile store. He ripped out existing walls around the bath. He supplied & installed all new cementboard. He supplied material for & installed a HydroBarrier (a liquid applied waterproofing membrane) on floors.
