Lou is a true tile master craftmans. Not only did he completed the job according to the schedule, he did extras like tiling the furnance room wall. He always checked with me when he when he had questions or had a different idea. The way he laid out the tile it looks like one continous flow pattern thru out the whole basement.. Everyday he cleaned up and removed the trash.
Description of Work: Completely tiled the basement approx 1080 sq feet. The work included removing a 3X8 concrete pad and moving furniture around. Two of the rooms had to be done half way and then move the furniture to the completed side. In some areas the old ceramic tile had to be removed.

Lou was a refreshing service provider. He kept to his estimate and only asked for material reimbursement (such as the cement board). He provided receipts for all of his materials. For those three relatively large jobs he completed them in under 3 weeks alone. He has an incredible eye for detail and offered many suggestions that we took his advice on. We purchased the tile and grout, but Lou managed the other contractors, such as the plumber, so not to slow the job down. We were more than pleased with the quality of his workmanship and we will definitely use him in future jobs.
Description of Work: New tile for two bathrooms and a fireplace hearth. In the upstairs bathroom they demolished the existing tile and removed the sink and toilet. They repaired drywall from previous plumbing work and backed all of the tile with a concrete backer board. They installed shower tile, floor tile, and wall tile throughout bathroom. In the downstairs bathroom they demolished the existing tile and installed beveled subway tile and complex basket weave floor tile. For the fireplace hearth they removed existing tile set in a bed of mortar and replaced it with basket weave slate tile.

Lou was the perfect contractor. He went above and beyond to complete this job. He works on his own and is extremely detail oriented. We bought tile, he helped unload it from the car! We provided grout, but he provided mastic, concrete board, grout sealer, etc. He provided receipts for all his materials and just asked for reimbursement. 2 bathrooms and a fireplace hearth including demo took him 2 1/2 weeks to complete. He coordinated with our plumber to install plumbing,sinks and faucets when needed. We were hands on in design (and he provided great ideas too such as framing our window and tile baseboards) but he managed the logistics so we were able to be hands off with everything else. We received his name from the tile store we purchased from, and could not have been happier. For the price we paid, we feel we got an extreme value. There needs to be more service contractors like Lou!
Description of Work: 3 tile jobs were complete in our house: Upstairs bathroom - floor, wall and shower tiled floor to ceiling, included demo and concrete board behind all tile. Downstairs bathroom - installed beveled subway tile on walls and intricate floor tile including many small pieces. Included demo and concrete board behind all tile. Also performed small drywall jobs (building a soffit to cover exposed plumbing) Fireplace hearth - installed basket weave natural slate. Included demo.
