We hired Robert to remove our old primary tub shower enclosure and replace it with a walk-in shower. We had already purchased the shower Carrera marble type Mueller walls and hidden drain base , plus Kohler hanging type glass shower door and plumbing hardware. Robert preferred to do tile work. But we had purchased materials from our plumbing supply house in Hartford. Robert does good work. He works on his own. He demoed/ removed our old fiberglass tub enclosure. And put the walls with tile adhesive up by himself. He had to put in all new drywall since the old enclosure didn’t have drywall. Very good job. He is hard working and does excellent work too. He is capable of resolving problems that arise. He put new ceiling in with light would switch and also did the drain and all shower plumbing hookup. Final tile work in floor was very professionally done. He was always timely and very responsible. I recommend him for any work he feels competent or interested to do. I look forward to hiring him again in the future too.

Would definitely recommend Robert for all of your bathroom work. The entire experience was seamless. On-site estimate that never changed throughout the process, clear communication, and the work was done really well. Roberts tiling work is meticulous, and if he felt like something didn’t look perfect, he’d do it again. Will definitely use him again in the future.
Robert is the very best contractor we have ever hired for home improvements. He completed an entire renovation of our master bathroom and the results exceeded our expectations. His tile work is superb. He pays close attention to detail. He is professional and experienced. He treated our home with respect and was very tidy. A+. We are so pleased!
Robert did a fantastic job remodeling our bathroom. The tile work he did was top notch and he did a great job with all other aspects of the project including demo, adding a new vanity, tub, and fixtures. He was clean and respectful of our space. I would highly recommend working with Robert.
We are so happy with our bathroom remodel! Robert was great to work with and always responded promptly to our texts and phone calls. The remodel was everything we hoped for and our bathroom looks so much better! We would definitely recommend! Thank you again!
He did a good job with renovating bathrooms and was agreeable in doing part of the kitchen mid-contract. Responsive and attentive. But would not recommend for first-timers doing remodeling. Why? Because the extreme detail required in the contract for what is standard practice will cost you time, energy and money. My contract included trash removal but it was only after the job was completed did he point out that that did not include ALL of the delivery boxes he opened of new appliances, bathtub, shower door, tile, etc. So the house was left a mess!!🥴. And I was left managing post-construction work. Not worth it.
We recently purchased a home and the 2nd bathroom was at least 25 years out of date. Robert presented me with multiple shower options to fit my budget. He even handled an unexpected issue with a unique/beautiful solution. Now on to the rest of the bathroom! We will definitely be using his services again when we complete our main bathroom renovation.
I am wary about relying on reviews from homeowners because most homeowners are happy with their contractors if the contractor is on time, polite, pleasant, and the final job looks good. They have no idea if their contractor followed manufacturer’s instructions during installing or they have actually done the work correctly. They have no idea what is lurking behind those beautiful tiles. Is the bathroom going to last more than a few years? Are the tiles going to crack in a few years? After getting burnt by two contractors (with great reviews) I decided to proceed with my project only after finding someone really competent. Jozef Improvements exceeded all my high expectations! I agree with all the great reviews here and want add a few points not covered in the other reviews. Nowadays everyone does foam showers. This is not a bad thing, any average tile setter can build a shower for you in a few days. It has become so pervasive that most setters only build schluter/wedi showers. They have forgotten or have never ever built mud showers before. In my opinion if a tile setter cannot build you a mortar shower, it means he is not very good or doesn’t have much experience. A good tile setter shouldn’t be afraid of playing with mud a little. Robert is one of very few contractors around here who can build a solid old fashioned mortar shower with liner. Such showers if built correctly, can last 40 years. I will not get into the details of the mortar shower build, but suffice to say he built it the correct way. I learned from John Bridge forums how a mortar shower should be built and he built it exactly like that. Please note that this is very hard to find. Most installers do not follow the process correctly. With respect to the tile work, I agree with all the reviewers that praised his attention to detail. He really brought my beautiful Italian tiles to life with his skill. The tiles were a little hard to work with as they were cut from bigger tiles but even then he achieved a flat smooth finish. The transitions around the niche were perfectly done. The tiles were centered on the wall. He later mentioned that in commercial jobs tiles aren’t usually centered but for homes, it is a nicer look. He truly does care about doing a good job. I noticed several nice touches such as extra waterproofing around the water inlets, using nicer quality boards behind the tiles. Further proof of his integrity and natural disposition to do the job the right away. He could easily have not done all that and saved time and his money. It is clear that he has built 1000s of showers in his career thus far. You definitely want to hire him or someone like him for your next shower project. You can give him your requirements and rest easy because he will do the job correctly and well. Talk to him today about your project!
Robert responded and came to give us a quote within 48 hours. His prices were beyond reasonable. He was able to completely gut, tile and remodel our entire bathroom within a week all as a one man show. He was very patient with us as new homeowners who had a terrible habit of buying the wrong part for just about everything and would answer our questions through the app as we shopped. We did pick out and supply all our own tiles and fixtures but Robert supplied our grout, drywall and subfloors. He even got rid of our ant colony we discovered living in the walls! Book him while you can.
So much attention to detail. Bathroom came out exactly how I wanted. Exceeded my expectations.
