EXCELLENT Based on 50 reviews Posted on Google Jackie CanadayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the privilege of having Oleksiy of Craftsman Tile and Stone re do my second bathroom. I have worked with other contractors in the past 5 years but Craftsman Tile and Stone is unmatched in attention to detail, fair pricing and exemplary work.The result is a beautifully crafted walk in tub/shower combination that will be enjoyed for years to come. His attention to detail is beyond compare. If you are looking for someone to do any kind of tike work, a bathroom renovation or a backsplash, you will not regret using Craftsman Tile and Stone for the work.Posted on Google Nick WhiteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have hired Oleksi to work on 3 separate jobs. One, to install tile in a basement for a laundry room floor, a bathroom floor, and installing tile on a Fireplace hearth. His great care, attention to detail, and cleanliness while performing the work on these areas quickly made me realize I wanted to hire him for more. Since then, we are in the middle of installing floor tile in a powder room floor, and building a brand new tile shower where a dingy leaky fiberglass shower previously existed. It’s honestly a little hard for me to write this review, because selfishly I want Oleksi to be available for all my projects going forward, and I know excellent reviews won’t help achieve that. Seriously though. Hire this man. His knowledge, humility, and genuine care for what he is providing will make your life better. Aside from the work he performs, the way he Exhibits the love of a Jesus through his craft is one of the best testimonies I can think of. Oleksi, keep it up man. The best is yet to come dude.Posted on Google K JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oleksiy was very personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for high end beautiful finishes.Posted on Google Mary FortugnoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oleksiy did a beautiful job replacing some rust stained marble tiles around my soaker tub. This was not an easy job and he executed the job perfectly.Posted on Google Bobby MedlenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oleksiy is a fantastic stone craftsman! We could not be more pleased with his workmanship, attention to detail and his suggestions for a better result. He installed quartz in parts of our shower and it makes a huge difference in the area! He is a perfect craftsman. We will certainly use him in the future! He is such a kind gentleman! Thanks you Oleksiy!Posted on Google firewindTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous response and attention to detail. The entire sink replacement was done within 24 hours of first contact. Will definitely use Craftsman Tile and Stone for all future needs.Posted on Google Jim ClarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oleksiy recently completed installing a backsplash in our kitchen. It is absolutely beautiful! He is more than a tile setter. Oleksiy is an artist at his craft, a perfectionist. I observed the patience and time he put into the job as he sorted through small tile for the edges like it was a game of Tetris, and good enough wasn't good enough-it needed to be better. More important than his work is the person I found him to be...patient, kind, gentle, and trustworthy. I truly enjoyed the conversations we had. His work ethic is beyond reproach, and customer satisfaction is his priority. In the coming year, we are planning to tile one of our bathrooms, and Oleksiy will be my first and only call.Posted on Google Charles WohlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here is another 5 stars for an amazing stack stone project. From start to finish, the project was a fantastic experience. Olekeiy is a talented “artist” who listened to our ideas and preferences, making sure the final result was exactly what we envisioned. The work is flawless and built to last. He take great pride in his work and would definitely hire him again!Posted on Google cathm909Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had a very pleasant and positive experience with a grab bar installation in our existing shower. The service occurred within 24 hours of initial contact! We did not have extra tiles and I was concerned about breakage. My concerns turned out to be unfounded. Not only was the install done to our specifications, there was no mess left behind and the outcome Is is perfect! I could not be more pleased.Posted on Google D JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oleksiy is awesome. He was responsive, explained things in detail, gave me some options and recommendations, and did a great job. He was very friendly and his fees were reasonable. Highly recommended.

Substrate Prep and Waterproofing Standards
A durable bathroom remodel starts long before the tile is visible. Hidden structural rot behind old tile or a bouncy floor can cause new grout joints to crack. We focus heavily on substrate prep, ensuring the subfloor is rigid and level. For wet areas, custom shower pans and proper waterproofing membranes are non-negotiable. We verify that all surfaces meet technical requirements for thin-set mortar adhesion, preventing moisture from reaching the wall framing.
Material Selection and Layout Planning
Choosing between porcelain, ceramic, or natural stone impacts both the aesthetic and the installation method. Large-format tiles require perfectly flat walls to avoid lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than the next. We handle detailed layout planning to ensure symmetrical cuts around plumbing fixtures, windows, and corners. Whether you are updating a small vanity surround or installing a complex custom tile shower, precise alignment and clean grout lines define the final result.
Repair vs Replacement Criteria
Homeowners often ask if a leaking shower or squishy shower floor can be patched. If water has breached the waterproofing layer, a full replacement is usually required to address mold or mildew and structural damage safely. We evaluate the condition of your existing tile and backerboard during the consultation. If a full tear-out is necessary, we outline the exact demolition and disposal steps in your estimate, so you know exactly what the project entails.
