Rick's Tile Installation

We had a concrete walkway right in front of our house. It was old, it was ugly and it sloped slightly towards the house, not good for drainage, and the source of some dampness on one wall of our basement. We wanted a specialist craftsman to create a beautiful new slate walkway and beautify the curb appeal of our home.

Found Rick here on Homestars, and he did a superb job for us.

What he built is not only aesthetically pleasing, (he had some solid ideas for what would work in terms of pattern and design) but he engineered the slope subtly and perfectly to manage drainage (our driveway slopes down to our house, a tricky problem to work with). He knows his materials, has an excellent sense of pattern design, and he works very hard. He is a consummate pro, and well worth hiring for your project. Give him a call!

I had Rick's Tile Installation install a backsplash in 3x6 bevelled subway tile in herringbone pattern and Rick did a fabulous job. Rick was on time, Friendly and personable to deal with and I would recommend him to anyone needing any tile work to be done. Price was great and finished product look great. Look forward to working with Rick again.

We took a chance on Rick since we didn't know him and based our decision to hire him on the reviews written about him on Homestars. My wife and I are glad we did. Rick was very professional from start to finish. He was punctual, prepared, and made excellent use of his time. He offered his advice and went the extra mile to accommodate for all of our requests. Our bathroom looks amazing: he tiled our floor, shower, and installed our shower doors. We couldn't be happier with the result. This guy is the real deal: he knows what he's doing, he's affordable, and can be trusted. Oh, and he's very clean! Thank you Rick...it was a pleasure.

Rick is now officially our 'go-to' guy for any tile installation we might need in the future. We had him do our small condo galley kitchen floor, removing old tile and installing new, and we're thoroughly delighted with the result. Also decided to upgrade to new kickplates for our cabinets and Rick was able to do it without a hitch. Neat, meticulous, knowledgeable, accommodating, punctual, reasonably priced and with a tremendous work ethic - it's not an exaggeration to say it was an absolute pleasure working with him. One of our best home reno experiences of all time.

I wanted to change the 8x8 tiles to 12x24 porcelain tiles on the floor, and replace the backsplash with a subway mosaic tiles. From the beginning, Rick gave honest feedback and ideas on tackling this work. Price was reasonable as well compared to other contractors. Rick was on time throughout the project which was about 5 days of work. The house was kept tidy, organized, and in safe hands. Rick also went above and beyond to get the job done, and also gave a recommendation of a contractor for my other needs. I would definitely give out contracts to Rick in future again.

Rick showed up on time and worked very hard the entire day. He was good to talk with, very professional and detailed oriented. He really enjoys his work and takes pride in doing a great job, which he did! Very happy we found Rick. We would recommend him to anyone and will call him back for future work.

Rick installed backsplash in my home and I am extremely pleased with the excellent job he did. Rick is meticulous, punctual, responsive, friendly, honest and courteous. I am glad to give him a 10 star review here and I highly recommend Rick to anyone looking to hire someone for a project.

Bathroom looks stunning! Absolutely pleased with Ricki's quality of work and the finished project!
Ricki is meticulous in his work and is very conscientious in ensuring his clients satisfaction. He will make suggestions, provide options and advise the best way. He has a well round of experience, not just in the amazing tiling work he does!
This was a full bathroom gut - removal right to the bare concrete walls to floor joists. Ricki demo'd, sistered joists (to ensure leveled floor), framed walls and stand-up shower (tub to stand-up conversion) drywalled, plastered, waterproofed, framed door and window, painted, tiled (shower, blacksplash and floor) and installed all bathroom accessories; shower glass door, vanity, toliet, lighting etc..
The jobsite was always protected from all other parts of the house and left clean on a daily basis.
Ricki is very personable, reliable and was super easy to work with. He was always on time and wasn't taking on multiple projects at once. He gave us a deadline and met the timeframe - completion in 2 weeks.
I was so happy with tiling perfection and ability to stagger so well, I decided to also have our kitchen backsplash done. We are very pleased with the outcome of both projects. Pricing was competitive and fair - I would definately call on Ricki again - Highly recommended!!

Rick installed our new backsplash in our home in June 2018. Rick was very thorough and competent in his work. He give us very reasonable estimate and explained to us how he can complete work professionally to have better quality. We were thinking to remove old kitchen wall tiles and install new one on the old drywall. He took time to explain problems can caused in the long run and ultimately comprising the quality. Rick is a very knowledgeable man with ground-to-earth type of skilled personality.

He was very punctual on arriving on time and completed the job within the time promised. It was his objective to make minimal waste and no direct/indirect damage to our furniture and belongings. He covered our most furniture and big items to avoid dust damage. Every day, before leaving our home , he cleaned floor himself.

After 3 months, we had some crack in grout and we called him. He was at our place next day and fixed problem without any problem.

I will not hesitate to recommend him for any quality work. Rick knows how to complete work with customer 100% satisfaction.

We had the tiles selected and Rick tiled the entry way area, front bathroom and closet, along with a kitchen back splash, and a second floor bathroom. The workmanship was excellent, he arrived on time, and completed the project on time. We look forward to using his services again in the future on another bathroom.
