From start to finish, the job was well done. The installer was courteous and professional. He covered the floor from project to front door each day of the job, even though the second day was only grout. He said he wanted to protect our floors. The job turned out beautiful. The management handled payment via email, which is super convenient. We would highly recommend and use again!

A-Ward was subbed by KAT Fabricators (see separate review) for our kitchen remodel. My first conversation with A-Ward (Larry) was a few days after we met with KAT. Larry was very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Larry asked a few questions about the job and then sent over his final proposal. We had another bid that was far more expensive so of course we went with A-Ward. We bought the backsplash tile and floor tile on our own. My wife had created a backsplash design that she wanted behind the cooktop. The morning A-Ward arrived they reviewed it and got to work. Anyone who has done a kitchen remodel knows how dirty the floor demo is but A-Ward took as much care as possible to keep the mess to a minimum. The new countertops had previously been installed and after 5 days, we had a beautiful newly remodeled kitchen. The tile work done by A-Ward was top notch and the installers were extremely punctual, professional and courteous. I would highly recommend A-Ward for your next tile or flooring work.

I purchased the tiles for my backsplash through Home Depot. A-Ward is the company that installs tiles for Home Depot in my area. Once the tiles and grout were in stock the company scheduled the installation. They called me on a Friday and the tiles were installed the following Monday. The installer was professional and performed the installation with great attention to detail. I could not have asked for a better job. It is always nice when an installation is quick, professional and painless. Thank you for making my new backsplash an outstanding experience. :)

Excellent job. We had another contractor bid the job with a designer picking the tile. A-Ward came in at half the price and was able to get us a discount on the designer's tile selection. The Crew was very professional, skilled and the job was completed in 3 days. They stayed late to make sure the schedule was on time. Communication was great through out the whole project.

I was very pleased with the service they performed. Luke with A-Ward Custom Installations was very knowledgeable and in contact with me throughout the whole job.

Both workers came every day (all three of them) on time and ready to work. They were very polite, professional and competent. This is the 5th or 6th time we have used A-Ward and everyone they have sent has the same characteristics. Needless to say, we are VERY please with their work (carpet, tile and parquet installations).

It's a pretty grueling job and the installers did pretty much three days of good, solid hard work with the removal of the o-rings that we had in our kitchen and our spare bathroom; one day putting down the tiles and then the second day grouting and cleaning. It was a well done installation. The guys were quite expert at the task and we could find no flaw in their work. We asked that the tiles be installed diagonally rather than rectangular and it turned out to be a rather attractive finished product. So my wife and I are both very pleased with the selection that we made and the fact that Home Depot was able to get it for us and with the installers, the subcontractors, two very respectful and professional installers did a great job. If I were to buy flooring from Home Depot again, I'd ask for A-Ward, and if I were to buy flooring on my own, I'd give A-Ward a call.

Award Custom Installations has been a Home Depot service provider in this area for 20 years. I felt fortunate to have chosen them by myself on Angies List. Olvin has been installing tile for fourteen years and he and Cesar did really beautiful installations on the porcelain tile and the travertine backsplash. They both worked in a professional and focused manner for two whole days, then returned to provide the sealer and caulk to the backsplash 5 days later, after grout had dried thoroughly. Their work was nothing short of a transformation to this property and we feel their contribution has added a great deal of value to our home. Award Custom Installations is the go-to company for tile work in our area. Do not hesitate to call Brandon and/or Luke for any tile-related remodeling you may need. We would like to have hardwood floors here someday and would not hesitate to ask Award Custom Installations to assist when we are ready.
Description of Work: Install travertine kitchen backsplash. Remove builder-grade junk vinyl in master bath commode room,hall bathroom and utility room. Install italian porcelain tile in same areas.

Without any complications - very easy and beautiful work! A pleasure to do business with.
Description of Work: A-Ward tile has re-done ceramic in 3 full bathrooms, including a shower stall, as well as most recently a laundry room floor. They also did some floor repair needed after some plumbing work. They are very easy to do business with, and quite accommodating. The quality of their work is excellent. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them in the future. I plan on contacting them again when I get ready to put down some wood floors. They get an A+.

Talking with Brandon at the A-Ward office and with Olvin when he came to our home to do the work was like meeting old friends again. The people at A-Ward are very professional, courteous, friendly, and best of all, very proud to do a good job. It must be a very enjoyable place to work. When Olvin and his assistant came in our front door, they placed plastic booties over their shoes to avoid tracking anything into the house. (My wife probably wishes I would do that!) When they finished their job in the bathroom, there was not a sign that they had been there. No drips, no dust, no debris. I run a webpage where I voice my opinion about stuff. My pen-name is and quot;Grumpyand quot; - I'm not easy to please. I am very pleased with A-Ward. I've used them before, I'll use them again.
Description of Work: Five or six years ago we had our master bathroom completely remodeled. A-Ward Tile did a beautiful job on the shower, tub surround and sink back-splashes. The lead technician/artist. Olvin, was so proud of his work that he asked permission to take photos to put in his portfolio of work. Recently my wife had been concerned with hairline cracks here and there due to the home settling with our Texas clay soil. Also, what we thought was grout in some 90 degree angles in the shower was showing discoloration from mildew or something. I was fully capable of scraping out damaged grout and caulk and wielding a caulking gun or tube, but I didn't want to do an amateur handyman repair to a work of art, so I called A-Ward to have the job done right. I called A-Ward on 02/27/12 and spoke with Brandon. I remembered him from the big job 5 - 6 years ago, he said Olvin was working near my neighborhood and could stop by at noon for a look and an estimate that very day and maybe do the job the next day. That's just what happened. Olvin picked up some special "sanded caulk" not available at retail stores for do it yourselfers, after checking the old half bag of grout I had saved to verify the correct color. Next day, he removed the bad caulk, replaced it with the good stuff which matched the existing grout. He sealed the grout in the shower which should protect it for 5 years or more, and he replaced the cracked grout around the tub rim and sink back splashes with sanded caulk which looks just like the grout but will stay flexible.

We had some water damage in our pantry and had to remove the linoleum flooring...3 years later, we had kitchen upgrades done to the backsplash done by A-Ward, but at the time we could not find the original tile our fooring was covered with. After much research, we made a decision. We sent photos of the to the A-Ward Team and they gave us some guidence based on the space and our expectations. With 3 original tiles left, there had to be a transition made between the old flooring and the new. They did such a great job. Due to the design we had to pay extra from the minium costs charged, but it was well worth it.

They were not the cheapest of the bids, but by far the most through. They really went through everything in detail. I was very thrilled with the outcome of the job!
Description of Work: I loved my experience! We were doing a lot of the work ourselves, removing the old tile and grout. A-ward came in prepared for the job. I was able to select the tile myself if I wanted to. They provided the measurements and requirements and we were able to select the product ourselves to pick the price point we wanted, which I appreciated. That way, we could also keep the leftover tile for future use. I was also able to see pictures of complete projects.
