Can anyone recommend a good, reliable ceramic floor tile installer? We have a small kitchen and two bathrooms to do, so not a huge job. I know it's not rocket science, and lots of people go DIY, but both Frau Chunkster and myself are klutzes. Thanks for any suggestions!

I don't have a BI tiler for you, but your mention of "Frau Chunkster" made me guffaw!
It reminded me of all the stern German kitchen ladies serving up German breakfasts (processed cheeses w processed meats) in all the hotels I've stayed at in Germany in the past!

Herr Chunk: My sister had her whole-house tile floors installed by Karl Tetz and were quite satisfied with his work. I inspected and looked like a good job was done. Try call 283-5771. He may be busy, but worth a try.
Best of luck to you and the Frau...

My suggestion would be that you talk with Carlton at Tile Styles. He is located in HPP. He's tiled my rentals and every friend that I have referred him to has hired him. Guy does outstanding work, is professional and is quality through and through. His website -
http://www.tile-styles.com/- does a very good job in displaying his versatility.
If you contact him, tell him Mike in HPP referred you and that he owes me Lucy's Mexican!
Good luck, no matter whom you contract with...

Another vote for Carlton. He has done several projects for us and we are more than pleased with his work and his work ethic.

Thanks for the tips, folks. I will definitely include these when I ask for estimates. LOL on the "Frau" comment, BI-Curious. I call her my "Cold War Bride" because we met while I was training Bundeswehr troops to operate TOW anti-tank missiles.

Thanks everyone for the referrals.
