Brian was great & responsive to our needs. A friendly soul & a worker for sure. We have a small camp that needed a replacement floor & our floor was not level & the camp was full of furniture & household articles from every end. Brian handled everything for two senior citizens at age 77 years old. Thank you, Brian Bear.

Brian was really nice to work with through the whole process. Clear communication and he followed through on everything as planned. He tiled my bathroom floor and it looks great!

Brian responded immediately to my inquiry and stopped by the next day to give me a quote. Luckily for us, he had a delay with another project and was able to fit us in. Fabulous job with tiling our backsplash. Couldn't be more pleased.

I am so pleased with the backsplash that Brian installed - the craftsmanship is excellent and even more remarkable on this 120 year-old home. Brian is a pro - super responsive, timely and professional. Will definitely use Brian again!

I am really happy with the quality of the work Brian put into this project! He demoed, repaired, and replaced the tile floor in my main bathroom in about 2 days. He was punctual, he was respectful, and i could tell he really cared about his work and the quality in attention to detail. I picked a tricky tile shape for a tricky bathroom shape and I could tell it was a lot of work and time, but he did it with a smile. I’m not even sure he took lunch (I hope he did). He cleaned up at the end of the day as well. I forgot to take a photo of the finished project but I will do so and attach it to a separate review. He was reasonably priced, and so respectful and polite! I’d absolutely hire him again for future projects and refer him to anyone needed work done on their home!

Details: Bathroom • Floor • Tub or shower enclosure • 25 - 50 sq ft • No, but I will buy the tiles myself
