Superb communication. Great results. Fair price. Would hire again…read more Our project was a subfloor repair in our upstairs bathroom. This meant a demo of wood, demo of tile, new carpentry, new tile, reinstall of a fixture, additional pipe, and new baseboards. We decided (without any pressure for add-ons) to extend the work to the whole bathroom floor instead of just the localized area. So our results feel like not just a repair, but a remodel. Things that stood out: Communication - We felt the main point of contact, Anthony, was clear and helpful through the whole process. This is true of every crew member we interactacted with as well. Questions were answered patiently, things were explained clearly, we new what to expect next, there were no overpromises. Everyone that came into our home was respectful. Our input was sought at appropriate times, and we were shown progress consistently. Execution - Everyone seemed competent and capable of the tasks at hand. The results look good, feel good, and inspire confidence. If there was a mess made, it was promptly cleaned up. If there was a concern, it was handled appropriately. Initially I was a little skeptical of the proposed timeline but after seeing the work in action it made sense and was accurate. I would advise any others to just be ready to communicate a little, and inspect the results at each stage, since there might be use of different crews for one stage or another. It felt like a smooth project overall, with a little touchup at the end. Also, someone cleaned our bathroom sink. Didn't even ask for that!

Anthony and his team were great to work with and did excellent work. I was managing an extensive…read morerehab project from another state, and their communication was exactly what I needed. They kept me consistently in the loop and were proactive every step of the way. There were a few items that didn't make it into the original scope of work, and Anthony took care of them without any additional cost. Any change orders I requested were handled professionally and without issue. The project came in on budget and on timeline, and they were also great about offering suggestions and options to help keep costs down. His quote was on the lower end of the others we received, and the quality of work was excellent, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Anthony and his team.

On our most recent service, Radek was out of town and adjusted his schedule to ensure our work was done before our new tenants came in. Finally, Radek is the most affordable in the city. I got several quotes from other grout and tile companies and they were at least 3x to 4x more money for the same services.

I had to wait ten days, but it was worth it. (Left a request on Angi, and not one viable reply.) He replaced five large tiles that had detached and regrouted around them... saving me from having to re-do the entire bathroom floor. Matched perfectly... you can't tell the old work from the new. Arrived on time and worked quickly. I was worried about tile/grout dust, but there wasn't a spec in my condo after he left. Highly recommended!

We had a nice 1950's bathroom that needed some 21st century attention. We scoured the designer web…read moresites, gaped at the Merchandise Mart displays, and made the pilgrimage to Ikea. Our final plan was: gut the room; junk the tub; make everything barrier-free, environmentally friendly, and visually attractive. We had a number of concerns regarding the structural, plumbing, and electrical work that we anticipated, on top of the cosmetics of tile installation. After sketching out the existing and intended room layouts (Google Sketchup is great for this.), we did some serious tile shopping. We found a neighborhood tile store that we felt comfortable with. The owner recommended Rudy the Tile Guy as an all-around remodeling expert. Rudy showed up right away, and was reassuringly straightforward regarding our concerns (I can do this; I have done that; I know a guy who does this other stuff, etc..). We shopped the work to a couple of other contractors, but came back to Rudy: the tile supplier liked his work, he was personable, and he was enthusiastic about getting the job. The actual work of course did not go according to plan. When any problems arose, Rudy was accommodating and helpful. He pointed out when plumbing and electrical specialists were needed, and adjusted his schedule accordingly; even took the initiative and contacted the experts himself. Materials issues, structural concerns, fixtures, mounting details, cosmetics--Rudy offered a good balance of advice and respectful listening. We had him a little bit out of his comfort zone (linear shower drain, wedi panels), and he learned quickly. When the tile work finally began, he solved the technical problems of large (12x24) tile installation without any complications. And the final result is Grade A. I recommend Rudy the Tile Guy for his professional expertise and ethical business practices. Regarding bathroom remodeling, I offer some advice: - Use Google SketchUp to draw up a 3-D model of the room - Individually model the room's 6 surfaces, to get your square footage straight - Make the demolition work a separate line item (1950's Chicago bathrooms are built like safe rooms--concrete walls, it's amazing.) - Double-check your materials quantities. Order 10% more than necessary; for big tiles, make it 25%. - Estimate the time needed to accomplish the project's subtasks; double that for calendar time; double again for actual finish date. - Use Rudy the Tile Guy as your bathroom remodeling expert.

Vito is the kind of craftsman who treats wood like it has a heartbeat. From the first walk through…read moreto the final coat, his attention to detail was surgical and his pride in the work unmistakable. He didn't just refinish our floors. He resurrected them. Years of wear, scratches, and dullness disappeared under his steady hands. The grain now glows with warmth and character, like the house remembered who it used to be. Edges are crisp, transitions are seamless, and the finish is smooth enough to catch the morning light in the best way. He showed up when he said he would, communicated clearly, and kept the space remarkably clean throughout the process. No shortcuts, no surprises, just craftsmanship. If you want floors that look custom, not cookie cutter, Vito is your guy. Professional, meticulous, and genuinely passionate about his work. I would hire him again without hesitation and recommend him to anyone who wants their home elevated by true artisan level skill.

Summary: Soma Tile (Lucas) is a partner through the process and his team is comprised of skilled…read moreand courteous professionals. I would not hesitate in referring them to anyone looking for bath and tile work!! Preface: Let me start this tale with some background. This project was not an exciting "Lets update our 20 year old bathroom and make it stylish and pretty". Instead the project started due to an undetected leak, the stress that comes from random water leaking in random places, and was filled with questions and concerns. Countless others "assured" me that this was a plumbing issue or just due to some neglected maintenance on a 5 year old new-install shower - and then wanted to blast holes everywhere to "find" the leak. At the same time, I did not want to rip apart a shower to then find out it might be plumbing and now a full on repair. I felt overwhelmed in making the wrong choice and doing 2 projects chasing my tail. Lucas walked me through all the typical scenarios that he has seen, leaning on the most probably is a structural fail of the shower system and then did a methodical exploration. A couple hours later and a minimal demo, he confirmed that it was in fact not plumbing related and was def. a failure of the shower system -- and walked me through what it would take. Once his team was onsite, they were focused - creating a whole "clean room" at the entry to the bathroom. 1 day demo, 1 day water-proof, 2 days tile - all while providing the proper time for dry-out and leak testing between steps. Lucas is a perfectionist, being critical on the most minor details -- which to someone that also strives for this level, but has no idea what they are looking for, was very much appreciated. Additionally, he has instilled this value in his team - that are true craftsman with their skill. Each step of the process was walked through, discussed, and made sure we understood the task, goal, and expectations. This is why I say Lucas/Soma Tile was a true partner in this project, as it wasn't a fun project -- it was an overwhelming stressful start where Soma Tile helped take some of the burden and concerns off our shoulders and work it through with their own expertise, experience, and dedication - ensuring every step was executed with precision. Soma Tile knows their craft - Lucas is a partner, his team are craftsman. Huge Thanks to Lucas, Jesus, and Miguel -- not to forget Jose who magically appeared on the last day to leave the place spotless.
