DiMarco and Associates

unknown

The President of the company Matthew DiMarco was extremely prompt, courteous and professional. He came on site very quickly to provide a quote and brought along his tile installer. My husband really appreciated the opportunity to meet the actual installer in advance. We had all the materials purchased and available for them to see. The quote matched the end price with the addition of work we requested after the project started. We were under a very tight deadline with family coming into town and they really were exceptional about helping us with some work that was unanticipated. They were flexible, offered advice on tile layout and design options and the install turned out beautifully. They showed up on time and every day as promised with an additional weekend day to keep the schedule. They used two guys for tile and one for drywall. They seemed to estimate the time and labor needed perfectly. Matthew was on site doing drywall work during most of the project which was appreciated and really helped when install questions arose. The only hiccup we experienced was related to the tile. After seeing the marble we chose well in advance of the project, and working on site for a few days, the tile installer told us the morning that he was to begin installing it that he didn't think it was a good choice. He pointed out some weaknesses in the marble and said we'd likely regret the choice over time as it may crack. We sincerely appreciated the feedback; the last thing we want to deal with is faulty tile down the line, but the timing of the feedback was so last- minute that it really put us in a bind. We had to run out that morning and try to find a replacement for something we shopped for weeks to select. Luckily we got fabulous service from Porcelanosa (not where we originally bought the first tile) and they came through with a design we liked with enough in stock. I'm sure that this would not be an issue if your contractor is supplying your materials but if you purchase them on your own be certain to take the time to get the installer to talk about the install and any concerns long before you begin the project. We were very satisfied with DiMarco and Associates and would definitely recommend them.
