Bruce and Nate were great to work with, and they did a fantastic job on our kitchen back splash. They were here as scheduled both days, and they cleaned up their work area. We highly recommend Porter Tile Company.

I wanted the marble I had selected installed in a specific way to achieve a certain look. Each piece needed cut, shaped and installed to spec to achieve the desired appearance. They were great to work with and completed the work exactly as I wanted.

I have used porter tile on 3 different properties over several years and the end results were exceptional. I was so impressed I turned Bruce loose to do a custom design on a basement wall after repairing water damage and wow it transformed the entire rec room. I Absolutely recommend these guys.

Porter Tile was everything I was looking for. I went in knowing that my home needed some major floor updates. The owner took the time to help me decide on classic styles that would look perfect with my already existing decor and was kind enough to bring many samples for me to mull over. The job was finished two days earlier than expected! It looks fantastic I highly recommend this tile company.

Bruce and Nate were exceptional!! They tiled our basement shower and it looks amazing!!! They made the design look outstanding - so visually pleasing. Bruce also guided us in what kind of grout would go well with the tile and pebble flooring we picked out - he's the expert! He also put in 3 frosted, glass-type shelves in the shower - we found out he makes those himself - so it's extra special because of its uniqueness! Bruce and Nate are so kind and easy-going, we would hire them again and again!!! We've gotten multiple compliments on how our shower turned out!

Bruce and his son did an extremely fine job and at what I thought was a very reasonable cost. I would definitely use Porter Tile again if I ever needed their services.

Bruce Porter did a good job. He is a little disorganized with his bidding process (emailing) but he finally got it figured out. I liked him well enough as an installer, but the quality of the installation is Good not Excellent. Some grout lines are inconsistent, there was small amounts of grout left on tiles. Some tiles bulge out. <br /> I will say he did help me figure out how to tile out the window in my tub (other installers had no idea what to do) and it was a pretty slick install. Props to Bruce on that. <br /> I would probably use Bruce again. He came out quickly after I called for initial evaluation, had a reasonable bid to me fairly quickly, and started work fairly soon after I accepted even though it was around the end of the year. He also drove from Indianola to my place in Ames. That alone is worth a bunch because other installers I got estimates from took forever at every step of the bidding process and they were in town. <br />

Bruce did a heck of a job! He was always prompt in his communication with us, he was extremely courteous, and he was very easy-going. The work turned out fantastic. We could not be more happy with our new floor! I would be happy to use Bruce again for any kind of tile project. I loved his small town attitude and demeanor, it was exactly what we were looking for, so laid back yet so professional. Clean up was amazing and the project was done exactly when he said it would be. <br />
