Looking to get 500 sq ft of floor tile in a newly built unit, I queried Qualcomm's 1000-strong…read more'remodeling' discussion list. Steve was recommended by several Qualcommers so I put him on my "call" list. Of the 10 tilers I called Steve was the only one to provide a written estimate for the job. He also handled all materials purchases (tile, cement, grout, underlayment.) And he suggested using a new underlayment material (Ditra by Schluter, a plastic roll-down matrix that gets filled with cement) that saved both time and weight of materials. Steve stayed in close contact throughout the job which took about a week. He smoothly handled a problem with the materials (several boxes of tile were too large by almost 1/4" and had to be replaced.) The results: an excellent tile floor in our new unit, and a firm (Straughn Construction) that I will happily recommend to anyone.

Two years later we're still very happy with the shower tiling done by James. (Meant to get to this…read moreback in 2022, was just reminded when a neighbor asked for a referral.) The previous shower wall had deteriorated beyond repair as I had discovered when I tried to repair it, so James wound up being our pick to strip the old subway tile shower down to the studs and replace it with materials that were up to code. We chose the design and selected and bought the tile, but James installed it and handled all the trim, everything but the glass shower door that was installed after we took these photos. He even came back and took care of a couple of minor touch-ups without complaint. The whole project turned out to be a lot more expensive than we anticipated, as these things do, but James' quote was in the ballpark.

To our neighbors here on Mount Helix: This is our go-to guy from now on for anything flooring. We live on Challenge and we're so lucky to have found him close by. Check him out for yourself. He's good people and we can't recommend him enough. Very laid back personality, honest fair price, and a real artist - our finished tiles are just lovely. His craftsmanship speaks for itself. See attached photo Thank you again James. My wife and I are real happy of your work. The kids have been doing snow angels on the new tiles. Will definitely give you call when we're ready for the second living room area we talked about. Leo & Mae Mount Helix, CA

On the second day, he asked for half of the money to get supplies. ($500. I know, red flag!) He replaced the 2x4s (he used framing wood instead of outdoor wood) and didn't bother taking a lot of the staples out from the fence boards, hence, making the boards not flush to the 2x4s. He reset 3 posts, 2 of which did not set because the holes were not deep enough. He came one full day and 3 days after that for maybe a total of 3 hours. To make a long story short, we haven't heard from him since Jan. 24th. Now we are getting quotes from LICENSED fence companies to repair what David did. I do not recommend David to fix anyone's fence. We learned the hard way.
