The beautiful photos we are uploading really tell the story! Rodrigo laid approx. 500 sq. ft. of long, wood-look plank-style tiles, and even accomplished this on a floor that was originally pretty uneven (he had it leveled first, an excellent idea). And YES, these are indeed tiles...they just look like wood, but are actually porcelain. This kind of tile is also more difficult to install, given their length and size, but Rodrigo did an amazing job.
Rodrigo is very professional, friendly, helpful, well spoken, and (very important to us) trustworthy. We felt very comfortable leaving Rodrigo alone to work on our home (and this isn’t something we usually do). In addition, this tiling job was done a few months ago, but the photos were taken yesterday – and the floors still look great!
We did have a bit of a problem with the grout color (when it dried it was a very light color – however, this was a problem with the grout brand, NOT Rodrigo). However, Rodrigo came back more than once, discussed this issue, and then tried various things to darken it (we ultimately chose to use colored grout sealer to get the desired look which you can see in the photos, but really appreciated the professional way in which he followed up on this issue).
In summary, Rodrigo is very responsible and responsive, and definitely a highly skilled professional tiler. He gives great advice, and is a good problem-solver. No, Rodrigo is not the cheapest tiler, but he is still reasonable…and it’s definitely worth it to go with someone who you know will do a great job! People comment all the time on how beautiful the new tiled floors are, but best of all, we love them. We also tell everyone who did them: Rodrigo at Kasa Bella. We would happily recommend him to anyone who wants to install tile!
