Tile that lines up
Good tile work is about patience. Straight lines, tight grout joints, clean cuts around corners and fixtures. Derek D. in Saline had Chris tile a mud room and half bath, including a subway tile wall in a four-corners pattern with tight grout lines. Chris understood it would be a challenge, accepted it, and then, in Derek's words, knocked it out of the park.
Chris installs ceramic and stone tile for shower walls and floors, bathroom floors, kitchen and entry floors, and backsplashes.

Hardwood floors
Chris also installs new hardwood floors. As a carpenter by training, he thinks about what is under the floor as much as what is on top. Jason S. in Tecumseh had hardwood floors put in during a kitchen and dining room rebuild and was happy with the result.
Starting from the ground up
A floor is only as good as what it sits on. Lynn Pollack on Google had Chris rebuild a laundry room floor, working from the ground up with meticulous attention to detail. Christine L. on Yelp had a bathroom floor replaced where the damage went into the subfloor, and Chris handled it as part of the job.
That is the difference between a floor that looks right on day one and one that stays that way. Chris looks at what is underneath before he quotes.
Clean, careful work
Tile and flooring make dust and mess. Kylee P. in Ann Arbor had a tile backsplash installed in her new home and noted that Chris cleaned everything up and left the house spotless.
Chris works on one job at a time, with his son Reese, and serves Lenawee County (Tecumseh, Adrian, Blissfield, Clinton, Onsted, Hudson, Morenci) and Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Saline, Chelsea, Dexter, Milan, Manchester). Nothing is too small to ask about.
Bring your tile samples
If you already have tile or flooring picked out, show Chris when he visits. If you do not, he can talk through what suits the room and how you use it. Tile and stone come in many sizes and patterns, and the layout matters as much as the material.
You get a written quote from the person who will do the work, so what he promised is what gets built.
