Ive had Kevin with Hafner Tile out for three different tile jobs at my home: repair of existing kitchen floor tile, demolition and replacement of the master bathroom shower tile and installation of floor tile in two bathrooms. In all of these projects I selected Hafner Tile and found Kevin did an excellent job in each project.
I found Kevin to be very detailed and attentive in his work. Our master shower installation was a great example of his work. The tile we picked out for the shower replacement is called sandy beach - it has multiple colors and different patterns within the tile set. It is a great tile but we were concerned about the installation since it would require an artistic flare in the tile arrangement to make the colors and patterns flow so that it looks like stone on a beach. In addition the tile was to be set diagonally making the tile arrangement challenging to fit the tiles so that the tiles match and traverse the corners of the two adjoining walls. Kevin did an excellent job in setting the tile and arranging the colors and patterns.
During the beginning of the tile installation process in the shower, my wife decided that she would like to add two fixed corner shelves to be installed into the tile. Kevin willingly accommodated her request at a very modest add-on cost. He searched and found some travertine that matched the tile colors and shaped it into the desired shelf design. He installed these corner shelves he created into the tile walls as desired. The shower looks great and my wife was thrilled to have the additional shelves (and I was happy that Kevin so willingly accommodated her request at such a reasonable cost).
I have also found Kevins expertise very helpful in discussing the approach to our tile remodel projects. I have presented various ideas for the project and found his suggestions and ideas on the approach to be very helpful. Kevin has helped shape our ideas and suggestions to make our remodel projects successful.
On another positive note, I found Kevin to leave almost no construction mess behind. Ive hated to spend hours cleaning up from other construction projects I have had done around the house
this has not been the case with Kevins work. Ive had minimal construction clean up to be done. He has also been on time with the start of the installation and completion of the project as scheduled.
So in reading this review youre probably wondering where the down side is? Well, there is none in my opinion. I wanted a quality job, Im willing to pay for it and I received what I paid for. I would recommend Hafner Tile and will use Kevin again in future projects. I will say that I did get other quotes for the projects mentioned and I had lower quotes. Kevins quotes were reasonable (especially for the quality of work performed) but they were not the lowest.
So if youre looking for a quality installation job, by an experienced professional installer then I believe that Hafner Tile is right for you.

Our bathroom remodel came out better than ever expected, and it was great working with someone who was honest and trustworthy.

During our recent bathroom and closet remodel, Kevin Hafner not only did fantastic tile work, but he stepped in to supervise the project when the original general contractor had to withdraw. Kevin is a consummate professional and a master craftsman. His work ethic is beyond reproach, his artistry is amazing, and his demeanor is always pleasant. Throughout the project, Kevin listened to us and kept us involved, sharing suggestions that we hadn't considered and for which we remain completely grateful. It is indeed our pleasure to recommend Kevin Hafner.

Kevin was great. Very nice person and very nice work. He did a difficult backsplash for us, all glass linear tiles with a bay window that had a ton of angles and edges. He came up with ideas for us that worked great. When others came out to quote me they were asking ME what I had in mind for the difficult parts...hey, that's why I'm hiring YOU. They also seemed to be kind of unfamiliar with the tiles we had. Kevin instantly recognized the type of tile, said he had the proper saw blades already and then told me what he would suggest for certain area. He did a very nice job and we are extremely pleased. We'll have him back for something simpler when we do our bathrooms. Hire him with no fears or reservations.

Kevin did an outstanding job remodeling our shower and bathtub surrounding area. His attention to detail, vision and design concepts are second to none. Kevin is an owner operator (one-man show), which is great. My wife is pregnant and it put my mind at ease knowing that a trust worthy gentleman that I interviewed and met in person was going to be the only one walking in and out of my house on a daily basis while I was at work. I searched high an low for a tile contractor and Kevin was the only one that met all my criteria including a very competitive price.
I really appreciated Kevin's suggestions and design ideas on how to make an existing 3'x3' shower enclosure into a two-person shower luxuary. He designed a very sleek, neo-angled shower curb that tied in perfectly into an existing pony-wall that separates our shower from our bathtub. This allowed the bathroom to flow without interruption. We also threw in another curve ball of wanting a disjointed ("brick") tile pattern and a "feature strip" to go throughout the shower enclosure into our bathtub surround area. Once again Kevin found a brilliant way to make that work without ending up with misaligned tile pattern.
He's a hard working guy that really enjoys his job and loves seeing the end product.
I highly recommend Kevin.
Thank You Kevin!
