Details matter
…and they’re the difference between a standard job and a great one. I pay attention to all the details – not just lines and layout. I spend the extra time on tricky cuts, and always try to maintain the flow through the corners.
I love a pretty corner!
Good tile setters know: the grout won’t save you! So make the best cuts you can.
Cuts like this require a great deal of patience, and some can be almost impossible to actually get in place once you’ve cut them. But sometimes you get lucky!
Yes, the corners are often hidden, but that’s no reason to disregard the flow of the tile. It’s not always possible to make them this pretty, but they can usually be done without a jagged transition.
Many of the “finished” pictures in my gallery have missing outlet covers. In these cases, the homeowner is having electrical work done after the tile install. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible or convenient to get true “after” shots. But I will ALWAYS do the job to as much completion as I can – including replacing the outlet covers.
Tile cut around range hood.
Admittedly, this is kind of ridiculous haha. But I got it in without breaking it!
It’s hard to explain how tricky a piece like this can be to cut, when you’re working with virtually no straight lines.
so hire the right person!
So you aren’t stuck with a nightmare like this!
A customer sent me these pictures years ago. The work of the guy she mistakenly hired before I got there.

As a coworker said at the time: “literally had no idea what he was doing.”
Not tile related, but the plumber drilled right through the back of their island cabinets – in a million-dollar plus home
This was the backsplash done by the “contractor” on site.
It was incredibly difficult to be there, while the “contractor” was working, and not say something to the homeowner.
Yep – those are brand-new countertops. And he’s just slamming his saw around on them.
