Enlightened Tile And Stone Work

Needed to replace the tiles on a small landing while keeping intact the granite edging. Called/texted quite a few contractors and tile stores to get a quote and either was turned down or got no response (my thoughts are the job was too small). Andrew not only quickly responded but set a date for the work the very same week and that morning of was kind enough to let me know he was running a bit late.

While removing the old tiles and old mortar he showed me the poor condition of the wooden sub-floor and re-thought how to best achieve a solid surface for the new tiles that included putting down a solid slab of cement board and mortar both above and below to obtain a solid flat foundation. I was also nervous to keep the original granite strip intact without it being broken and chipped. Andrew took extra care when chipping out the old tiles with no damage to the granite. He also took great pains to level the new tile to the existing granite edge and quarter round. We also discussed the best color to match the new grout to the new tiles. All in all, I'm very pleased with the results and workmanship. Even the existing quarter round wasn't damaged in any way (so no extra work $$$ there was needed). Job was done efficiently, within budget, and with consideration.
