Phil Griffin Custom Tile Work Inc

Phil and his crew installed 18x18 porcelain tile in our family room, 'hallway' and washroom. We?re extremely happy with the installation. He was able to leverage another client's schedule change to install our tile quickly. It appeared to be a ?seller?s market? in the Tampa area (03/2014) as we received only two bids and three responses total from over a half dozen phone calls and/or emails. We provided what we considered to be a good description of the work to be done, but Phil ensured a good estimate by personally visiting and reviewing our circumstances (We believe over pressure from water damage and previous poor installation caused tenting in our fully tiled home.). While we were concerned that the cost estimate was high, we found Phil's acceptable when compared to the only other respondent, especially with the strong recommendations regarding quality of work we received from an in-law who used to work with him. (Given the destruction of the dollar?s value, I was unsure of the value estimates). Dust is an issue when removing tile and Phil helped us out by covering much of our furniture, collectibles and finery with light plastic sheeting. He also identified significant crazing/cracking in the foundation and provided additional ?suppressant? coverage in an attempt to preclude the tenting issue in the future. When the previous poor installation resulted in an additional area requiring re-tiling (the washroom), Phil and his crew stretched the available tiles to provide complete coverage (albeit with no ?left-overs?). I watched some while Phil and his crew worked, and it appeared to me they were professionals who were very concerned about doing the job right. I would highly recommend Phil?s services to both family and friends. We?re extremely happy with the installation. He was able to leverage another client's schedule change to install our tile quickly.
