Anybody know a good tile guy?

We had to fire the guy who was working on our kitchen. He was doing a completely crappy job on everything.

So, now I have to find a good painter to redo the nasty paint job he did on the cabinets and a tile guy to start over from scratch on the counter tops.

I am so much past annoyed at this point. The guy clearly did not know what he was doing and as a result we have a giant mess to clean up.

This is a picture of the kitchen originally when we moved in. Every time I looked at the peach cabinets and old as hell oven and microwave I just about gagged.

This picture is about mid way through the jacked up painting with the horrible countertop in. I can't believe the guy installed the new tile countertop before he painted everything. Argh!

This is what the kitchen looks like now and why we finally had to get rid of the guy. If you notice, the cabinet doors look like a different color of white - well, this is because the guy, without even asking us, took the doors home with him and painted all the doors with white high gloss oil base paint. I was so pissed. We paid for all the paint for the cabinets, a nice semi gloss latex, so we basically wasted money on 3 gallons of paint because now the doors didn't match. Besides that, the cabinets weren't sanded well before painting and looked like complete crap.

Anyway, we have a tile guy coming on Saturday to look it over and see about redoing the countertops. I just want it done already!

What a nightmare!

If this guy doesn't work out, let B know. One of the guys at work does tile work on the side. Not sure how good he is, but I know people at the office have used him before.

Good luck! Love the color scheme you've got going in there!

Thanks for the compliment on the colors. We may change the wall color. The tile has that color in it, but it is splotchy with different colors, so a different blue would be better for the walls.

The tile is unusual. It looks kinda like a blown glass or star burst effect. I really like it a lot.

I will have to get a close up picture of it.
