Amadu showed up on time and ready to work and I believe he was sincere in his desire to finish the job. However I can't recommend him for tile work. He doesn't have the proper knowledge for laying tile. His first attempt was a mess. Uneven grout lines and corners, the border tiles weren't cut the same width, and he didn't pay attention to the little details that really make a job look professional. He did come back to try and fix the mistakes but this meant we had to buy more thinset. Costing us more time and money. The 2nd attempt went better, he did pay attention to our requirements for measuring and laying out the tile, and really tried to make sure that the end result was satisfactory. It looked really nice BUT his worker had failed to put thinset on the back of the tiles and not just on the floor, even tho i asked them to make sure that each tile was secured. Several of the tiles came loose after 48 hrs. One tile even made a popping sound when I stood on it. So now I'm currently having to rip up half the tiles, in order to re-mud them myself. Amadu has stayed in contact with me, and says he is committed to helping me finish the job properly, for the 3rd time. I appreciate his willingness to stay and finish the job, but I can't recommend him as a professional.

Amazing job with my gazebo!
Amadu was unable to make the original appointment but only let us know after the appointment time. He seemed motivated to do a good job but was unable to get our new ceiling fan working. The fan was returned but we decided on a different installer for our for our next installation appointment.
