American Tile

Matt Montgomery is an exceptional artisan who does superb tile and slate work at very reasonable prices. He worked closely with us picking out the materials and in conceptualizing and finalizing the design. His work is uncommonly thorough. He was very careful to build to code and to install superior waterproofing to the walk-in shower--a waterproof PCV membrane sandwiched between two pre-pitched mortar beds, waterproof beadboard, and an additional waterproof coating before the tile and grout were installed. Matt carried out a difficult Versailles pattern for the slate walls and ceiling and the results are truly spectacular. All exposed edges were ground and corners mitered. The installation included two niches and a feature strip around the perimeter of the shower. The grouted installation was finished to bring out the natural beauty of the slate. Matt was able to correct some plumb and level problems with the doorways leading into the shower with his slate work. We could not have asked for a better actualization of what we wanted in a walk-in shower. Matt was easy to work with, honest, and thoroughly professional throughout the process.
