A & Wes Tile

I hired Wes to help install a backsplash in my kitchen and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. He is nothing short of a perfectionist and takes a huge amount of pride in his work. If another project pops up I won't hesitate to hire him again. A few highlights of my experience with Wes:

* He was courteous, humorous and knowledgeable when he arrived to provide an estimate. I was impressed enough with how insightful and thorough he was to hire him almost immediately after I got his quote.

* His quote was extremely competitive. Especially considering the sheer amount of time and labour it takes planning around things like wavy/warped walls in an older house and meticulously cutting each sheet of tile around things like plugs.

* The work Wes completed was amazing and it comes down to his understanding of what looks good and what doesn't. His experience tackling difficult problems and knowing how to solve them. His exceptionally high attention to detail. I still look at the tiles he installed for me and can't stop thinking about how much thought he put into tile placement to make sure they didn't stop abruptly in odd places. Or the precision of the cuts he made. There are numerous places where he made insanely accurate cuts for notches no bigger than a few centimeters wide. I don't know how he did it but he even installed slivers of tile under a window above my sink for the sake of being the perfectionist that he is.

The pictures don't really do a good job of showing how much his work brightened up my kitchen. But he's made our kitchen look significantly better.

Wes did an amazing job on our kitchen backsplash. He was responsive and easy to work with. His attention to detail and professionalism produced wonderful results. Thanks Wes!

Wes did a great job. He was very responsive and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone and use him again for any other tiling that I needed. In addition to the tiling, he added trim around the edge to finish off the edges.

Wes did an amazing job and we are extremely happy and satisfied with the work he performed! We had an issue with a cracked ceramic shelf located in our shower which required removal. Since the shelf was glued directly onto ceramic tile, there was a chance of damaging the tile during the removal process, so we required someone with extensive knowledge of tiling and patience. We tracked down Wes on Homestars and after reading over the reviews, we reached out to him.

Wes was very knowledgeable and thoroughly explained what needed to be done in order to remove the shelf. We arranged an appointment and he showed up very promptly. Wes carefully worked away at removing the shelf, ensuring not to damage any tile. This was “artwork” that required a steady hand, patience, and knowledge. Wes managed to remove the shelf without causing even a single mark and removed all of the glue. He resealed areas that required it, cleaned the area very well, and left it looking spotless. By the time he was done, you would never have known that there was a cracked ceramic shelf glued in that spot!

We have no doubt that if we hired the wrong company for the job, there is a good chance that they would have damaged our tile during the removal process, which would have led to a massively expensive repair job. So, Wes literally saved us! Before he left, he even took the time to help us assess another issue we were having in our home with mold building up on our caulking. We booked him in for that repair work as well.

Wes is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell that his specialty is bathroom renovations. Actually, we’re lucky that he took on what are probably “small” jobs for him! Thank you again Wes!

Wes did a great job on tiling our fireplace. He even suggested and implemented a tricky work around to ensure we could remove the face for maintenance without leaving a big gap. Very happy with the result and will always go to Wes for any tiling project.

Wes did a great job! The tile I selected was so large, only 3 pieces were needed, but that included some very tricky angles and long narrow pieces. He even beveled the edges of the tiles so that the odd angled corners were properly mitered. We will be painting the fireplace soon, once that is done I think it will look great with the new tile.
We would definitely hire him again, and plan to for our upcoming kitchen backsplash tiling project.

We needed to have our shower stall redone as water had gotten behind the tiles. I found Wes on this site and he came to check out the job and give us some ideas. He recommended removing the tub as it had a crack in it and doing a walk-in shower with large size tiles and a pebble style floor. We are so glad we went with his ideas, it looks amazing!! Wes is extremely meticulous in his work, kept the work area clean and was always keeping us updated on progress and potential extra costs. We really love our new shower and will definitely be hiring him again for our other bathrooms when it's time to do them. I very highly recommend A & Wes Tile.

Wes responded promptly, efficiently gathering the information he needed to offer me a fair quote and realistic timeline and communicated professionally. He showed up on time, respecting all Covid protocol. He was friendly and easy to have in my space.

Wes did an outstanding job, explaining details clearly to me when I asked and leaving my kitchen and patio (his workspace) cleaner than he found them.

He appreciated the look and feel I was hoping for and offered perfect solutions at tricky edges which now look so natural and well designed.
I am thrilled with the outcome and feel I have gotten great value and had a positive experience all around.

I would recommend Wes Tile 100/100 times. The workmanship was top-notch. We had a small, but complicated project. We asked Wes to glue new tile over existing tiles, which were installed very uneven. Wes had to compensate for this, which required him to pay much attention and make many adjustments to the new tile installation to ensure it was as even as possible. As part of this he made a recommendation on tile pattern to help minimize any unevenness. Because it was counter to the pattern I wanted he wasn’t pushy in his approach, but simply explained very clearly for me the reasons why one pattern would work better than another. We went with his reco and very happy we did as with his attention to detail the end result is essentially perfection. He really went above and beyond on several details to make sure the job was done up to his standards — which are very high! (Including removing cabinet valences to install extra tile to ensure a complete look on the wall that we had not originally think was necessary, but made the wall look much more complete. Extremely professional and thorough work. Highly recommended!

Exceptional craftsmanship. Very pleasant to work with. Provided some excellent advice on problematic areas. Very happy. Thanks Wes.
