We are extremely happy with the way all of the work we hired George to perform. The finished product is outstanding. The quality is great and the work was all completed in our very constrained time line.

George was fantastic to deal with. He is a very calm, lovely professional and smart man. He made the job at hand super enjoyable, which was not the experience with past tile people. I am lucky to have found him in Angies list. Has been working. With tile for decades and really know his stuff. Also was super giving of his time even before the job began.

George laid out what needed to be done and how he'd do it when he came to bid the work and was also willing to complete some of the half-finished work done by a previous, unexperienced contractor. He didn't try to creep the scope during the course of the work and understood our financial constraints. When we found the need to make a few changes, we negotiated a fair price for a few small add-ons. When the wall repair was much more involved than initially estimated, he brought it up but didn't demand reimbursement. I offered compensation based on what we agreed was fair but didn't feel pressured. They did a good job cleaning up after themselves given how messy leveling floors, cutting tile, and grouting seem to be. My only suggestion would be to work with George on every detail beforehand as I had made some assumptions about aesthetics that may not have been particularly conventional but hadn't communicated them to George. Showing images of how you'd want something to look when it's done will go far in insuring you get what you're after. That having been said I was given some good advice from Felipe on what the height of the kitchen backsplashes should be in our particular case, and from George on which grout would be best suited for our floors and have no regrets having followed those suggestions. In our case, we supplied most of the materials as per George's recommendations. If you want your project to move as quickly as possible, I'd suggest making a list with George of what materials you'll need, what you'll be picking up and what he'll be picking up, and having everything ready on the first day because they waste no time in getting the work done. In short, both George and his colleague, Felipe, work very efficiently with a high level of craftsmanship and I'll hire them again the next time I need tile work done.
Response from George's Tile Works
"[Member Name Removed] and Angel are great clients. They had wanted a particular look for the finished grout on their fireplace, unfortunately for them they communicated this wish after the work had been completed. They sent me some pictures showing the grout being very recessed a day late. All the same we built the fire place exactly as [Member Name Removed] had requested. George"

We found that we had a leak from our shower. George was able to found out the the previous shower was done incorrectly. He rebuilt the shower completely and installed new tile. The work was done professionally and in a reasonable amount of time. George has a complete knowledge of his business and is very hands on.

Very happy with the end product for all 3 jobs. <br /> George is very knowledgeable and personable, and his pre-job advice was absolutely sound. <br /> Was willing to work with us so that we did some of the front end prep. work to keep the cost down. <br /> The work start was delayed due to overrun on a previous job, hence the "B" for punctuality, but they kept us informed of their situation. The other B was for pricing, <br /> Was able to help us understand options and limitations for the foyer repair, which worked out very well <br /> George's team worked really hard to keep our job on a 3-day schedule, but George himself was there to ensure the needed quality and craftsmanship was maintained.
Response from George's Tile Works
"These clients were very wonderful people to work for. We had a 4 day delay on the prior job due to needing to float 1300 sq.ft. in cement. This was a [Member Information Removed] last minute change by their designer that was not anticipated. Also when this client hired me for the job, he told me that I had the least expensive price of all other bidders. I guess he might have been slightly out of touch with current pricing. George"

All in all, my experience was George was very good. He had an enormous job to do with very little margin for error given that the existing older tiles he was working around were irreplaceable. He was sensitive to every one of my requests; from protecting the tub (which I had foolishly reglazed <i>before</i> his work) to helping me plane the doors to the proper level for the new flooring. He also had some very helpful suggestions for keeping the new tile and grout sealed for years to come. <br> <br>The care he took with his tile laying/cutting was truly something to behold and brought the new floor up to a noticeably higher level of craftsmanship. There was no skimping of materials and I was proud to see he did the entire job himself (as opposed to subcontracting out to less experienced workers). <br> <br>No job goes perfectly, but the real test of someone is how they respond to bumps in the road. My wife and I felt the cleanup after the gig left something to be desired. Without hesitation, George came back, listened to our requests, made ZERO excuses and and took care of every one of the cleanup issues. To me, this is something that creates repeat customers. A mistake is nothing, but how a professional reacts to it is everything. <br> <br>George, thank you again for turning our outdated bathroom into something beautiful!

"Response to the above review. 1- We showed up on time and completed our work in the allotted time promised. 2- We covered up all floors and work areas with drop clothes and plastic sheeting. 3- We delivered a tile job exactly as had been promised. - This included cleaning the floor down to bare concrete. ( large sanding machine ) -Installing an antifracture membrane ( Ditra by Schuter ) -Installing the 12"x24" rectified tile on a 1/3 subway pattern ( per customers request ) -The thinset ( setting cement ) of choice was an X-5 by Ardex ( the largest manufacturer of thinsets in Europe ). The X-5 being one of the best thinsets around today. - The grout used was an Epoxy grout called " Spectra Lock " manufactured by Laticrete. again " Sepectra Lock " is one of the very best epoxy grouts. - The customer researched all setting materials online and agreed to them prior to our commencing the work. This was in writing as part of her warranty. 4- The porcelain tile used was provided by the customer ( we did not buy it ). We were told to install what we had and did so. 5- The tile provided to us was a rectified tile. Most all large format tiles come this way today. Unfortunately rectified tile has inherent bowing in it. That is that the tiles are not completely flat. These tiles have a slight bow in the middle either in a convex or in a concave manner. This inherently causes lippage. The industry as a whole is aware of that, though a lot of consumers are not. The salesman that sold the tile should have addressed this matter, but evidently failed to do so, leaving the customer believing that the tile installation would have no lippage whatsoever. 6- Ansi rules and regulations ( 4.3.7 Lippage - guidelines , explanations and caution ) Clearly state that in table ANSI A137.1 that the allowable lippage on a tile that size is 1/32 of an inch. With the exception of 6 tiles ( that need to be replaced ) all tiles on this installation fall within this industry standard. 7- My conversation with some of the industry's best experts is that it is impossible to get a rectified tile totally flat with no lippage. There is just too much warpage in the tile. Furthermore the use of leveling spacers does not seem to eliminate this problem. 8- I personally also spoke with the grout rep, who assured me that the grout installation did not need to be redone. He said that it might be nice of me to touch up some spots. 9- I have reached out to this client several times in order to rectify the 6 tiles and to touch up the grout. She adamantly refuses and wishes a whole new tile job. 10- We are at a stage where I need to bring in an expert to view the job. 11- I have done a professional job and have tried to correct the issues that need addressing. I am now at an impasse with this client. She wishes a whole new job, and unfortunately will not get one under the industry standards and guidelines."

Service was excellent. I have used George over several years, for several projects, and have always been extremely satisfied. <br /> He has done two bathrooms, using specialty surfaces with pebble stones, slate and porcelain tiles. He has also redone a fireplace, <br /> resurfacing the exterior with slate. <br /> George is prompt , is fair on pricing, and easy to work with. He is always present on the jobs, and easy to work with .I would highly reccommend his services.

George and his associate were a pleasure to deal with. Because we are getting our house ready to put on the market, we needed the work done quickly and professionally. Not only did George come the day after I called, he came on a weekend to give us a quote. His quote for the work was fair and competitive and his work on all aspects of the job was immaculate. The new tiles he installed look fabulous and he matched some hard to find colors of our grout perfectly on our older 10-16 year old tiles. We'd never had our older tiles professionally cleaned before and now they look almost brand new! My husband and I are extremely pleased with the job he did.

I was hoping to remove and replace my 50 year old tired and broken tile in the kitchen with something fresher but after talking with George, he suggested I replace the tile with granite counter tops. Now top grade counter tops for my kitchen would generally cost about $3K plus installation but George knew of a granite product which he quoted me $1400 to install. There was an additional cost of $150 for a new stainless sink but I didnt think that was too bad. I could have skipped the sink but because of space limitations, the granite top would have had to be cut in half around the sink and I didnt think I would like that look. <br /> Georges workers did the job in just a few hours and my wife is very happy with the results. <br /> The project left me needing to call a plumber to install the sink connections and garbage disposal but now everything is just fine. <br /> <br />

Found george on angie's list for the 1499 countertop deal; turned out our counter square footage was more than what was for the deal but no worries; for a bit more we got exactly the counters we wanted. We shopped around and got 3-4 quotes and george's was the best. Communication was efficient; from the day he went by the house to give us an estimate till install day; he's always been responsive. We also appreciate that he gave us advice on what would look/work the best and he genuinely cares for how the work will end up looking. Install day; his installer moises and crew showed up on time; demo was a breeze on our old tile counter and install was just as painless. moises was extremely meticulous and detail oriented; i dare you to find the seam. He spent the time to make sure that everything was just right and that were happy with the work; courteous and professional the whole time and cleaned after themselves. George came by afterwards to make sure that everything looks great and do his final run through. all in all this was an extremely pleasant and painless experience hiring a contractor and we will definitely use george again for our next small project. <br />

I am very fortunate to have George's Tile Works to install my pool and spa glass tiles. I've done lot of researches and found out , it is very difficult to install a pool or spa glass tiles, unlike porcelain tiles that's much easier and forgiving for small errors. I visited lot of projects with glass tiles installation, and lot of them were living with lot of installation defects, examples are glass tiles cracks, or popped out tiles. It was very scary, I was about to change my mind with glass tiles and install porcelain instead until I hired George. <br /> I had to hire a right professional who really knows how to install a glass tiles. My glass tiles were Italian Trend glass tiles with only 3/4" each squares, and it is very thin tiles, way thinner than standard tiles,very sensitive to install but it is beautiful glass tiles, and the project to be installed is for entire infinity spa inside and outside and also the pool. <br /> George did a great job!!! he is perfectionist and very professional!!! I highly recommend him for any tile works not only pool or spa tiles but any kind of tiles. <br /> As a matter of fact I just gave him a project for a floor tiles installation for my house that he will start on Tuesday. <br /> <br /> <br />

George did an amazing job of transforming my hillside framed carport into an oasis.He sourced granite, marble and onyx made and made it into a mosaic design that I provided based on a cafe in Biaritz, FR. He and his journeymen waterproofed, levelled and expertly laid limestone with artful precision. His work is top notch with attention to detail at every stage. Tight clean lines, perfect drainage, careful and thoughtful craftsmanship.
