Second Mile Tile did an outstanding job replacing the countertop on my outdoor barbecue. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and took the time to offer thoughtful, expert advice that really made a difference in the final result. What stood out most was their willingness to collaborate—they didn’t just do the job, they helped elevate it. They guided me in selecting the right tile and grout, even adding their own professional touch to ensure everything came together perfectly. Communication was easy throughout the entire process, and it was clear they genuinely cared about delivering the best outcome, not just completing the project. The finished product looks fantastic, and the whole experience was smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend Second Mile Tile to anyone looking for quality work and a true professional who prioritizes your vision over their own ego.

Great experience with Second Mile Tile. He came in to clean up a mess from a horrible Home Depot contractor. He is very knowledgeable and helpful with the process of picking out and installing tile. Our job got pushed back two weeks due to the other contractor's mistakes but Kevin was able to start the job within a few days of us contacting him. Very friendly, maybe talks a little much, but great quality work.

Kevin came out to repair the countertop tile that broke off when my old range was being removed, and to trim down the existing tile. The countertop tile was sticking out too far into the cut-out to allow the new range to be put in. I put in my request to Thumbtack and for a very quick response from Kevin yesterday afternoon. He came out this morning to do the repair. I am so happy with his work and timeliness. I would totally recommend him.
