NORDIC TILE

Description of Work: Andrew did a great job helping us decide on a backsplash for our kitchen. Install went great and looks GREAT!

Description of Work: Andrew leveled the floor and installed porcelain tile in the entryway of my home, about 100 sq ft. | |I am happy with the result. The floor was very uneven and Andrew did a nice job getting it level. As soon as we both agreed the leveling was complete he installed the tile in no time and gave me great info on how to clean and maintain the tile and grout to make it last. I was happy with the price and the work. I would hire Nordic Tile / Andrew again and recommend his services to a friend.

Description of Work: After meeting with four companies, I hired Andrew Forsmark/Nordic Tile to install a kitchen backsplash behind our counter (10' x 21") and stove (5' x 21"). Andrew confirmed he was confident working with the 1x2" glass & stone tiles (12x12" sheets). The finished job was a gross disappointment, with workmanship so poor I had to repair the surrounding walls. Specifically: The rows of tile are uneven, appearing wavy and disjointed. The grout work is rough and uneven. Clumps of grout were left stuck to the counters, sink and faucet, and spattered on the kitchen walls. | |When the job was half done I sent Adam an email, with pictures, documenting my concerns. His response was quick and reassuring: The uneven tiles must have moved in the grouting process, he'd fix them and the damage to the walls caused by the grout. He ended up tearing out a large section of the backsplash and re-doing it. This required buying (and waiting for) more tile. | |When the job was finally done, it looked entirely DIY v. professional. Adam came over to review it with me. | |When I pointed out the disjointed tile lines, rough grout, and remaining wall damage, Adam blamed his assistant Louis, as Louis was the one to actually install the tile. Then he blamed me, saying I hadn't been onsite to call his attention to the uneven tile; finally he blamed Life itself, saying no one and nothing is perfect.

Description of Work: Andrew Forsmark did the underfloor heating and tiling of a 240 sq ft basement. All materials for the job were included in the cost of the service as he sourced and paid for them, earning us discounts on tile and heating. | |Andrew is a gem. He gave us lots of advice up front on options for both laying underfloor heating in our basement and tiling. Taking his suggestions on board, we ended up with a beautiful metallic gold/green tile that has garnered much praise. The underfloor heating also works a treat. |We had many back and forths on details and in all cases he was prompt, precise and clear with all our options. He never rushed us. |I ended up using a recommended professional tile shop (guarantee of consistent tiles across packages) and though it was a pricier than the original plan, he used his name to get us a discount and the end product was far superior to our first plan. The room is lifted in quality due to that tile. |For the underfloor heating, we thought we might need a heat barrier to avoid wasting heat on the soil/concrete slab below. He explained that we were below the permafrost line and spending money on a barrier would be additional cost that may not pay back over time. We went with one anyway - he chose one that was both effective, easy to install, and relatively cheaper than the other options. |While performing the entire job he was prompt, pleasant and courteous. He also has a marvelous singing voice - well worth listening in on. His uncanny resemblance to the Irish comedian - Chris O'Dowd - went beyond mere looks, he was also funny. A good time was had by all. |With the underfloor heating we needed a certified electrician - he hired one he has worked with before. Pat is a man of distinction - exact, careful, and fun. Though he was around for just a short time, he left a great impression. I would definitely get his number for future electrical work. |All in all, he worked hard to get us what we wanted and when we wanted it. He was committed to another job two weeks out from ours and made it clear that it was already on the books. He put in the effort to get us a perfect floor, ready for use, before he moved on. | |I will be hiring him again in the coming weeks to tile more of the lower level as we were so impressed with his work so far. |
