After: New Backsplash & Finished Product
Justine F.

I hired Sal to update the backsplash in my kitchen and I love the final product! Sal's a master tiler who truly loves his craft and I whole heartedly recommend him for any tiling you need. He came out same-day when I reached out to him for a quote, his pricing was in line with other contractors in the area, and he was flexible with his start date when his other project was delayed so ours got moved up. Sal and his team removed our old backsplash, took down the wall to the studs to ensure the wall would be correctly aligned for the tiles to sit perfectly, laid the tiles and filled in the grout and even updated the outlet covers to more modern versions so the finished product looked excellent. They did this in just 3 days. If I ever have any tile needs, I will definitely hire Sal again.

Saw evidence of drips in crawl space. Consulted with usual plumbers, not their kind of work. Found…read moreDavid Giusto Tile on Yelp, sent him pix i took underneath, had good email, he came out and looked in the shower and under the house. We wanted to go full permit, which was a bit of an adventure. Permit took over a month to get through Oakland planning department, not for completely obvious reasons, but we got it. Dave bid two different cases depending on what was under the shower floor tiles, and behind the wall tiles. He pulled out the shower floor and the pan under it, then went into the four walls, Turns out the problems were dramatic and long standing. Damp, dry-rotted and punky sub-floor, parts of floor joists, wall studs and bottom plate. He carefully removed the tiles (that had a 6 month lead time), removed all the bad wood, called the inspector. No mysteries. Everything clearly visible. They discussed how to fix it all, inspector liked what he heard. New 2 x 3, 2 x 4 lumber and sisters for the joists were screwed into place and the inspector came back. He liked the work. Now the new subfloor was fastened down, and the new shower pan was installed over a tapered base that ensured all the water would get to the drain. The mortar supporting the floor and running up the walls went on. Then the whole new pan was filled with water and the high line marked. After a weekend, it had held all the water and it drained when the temporary block was removed. Tile time. Old shower floor had been a mix of related color tiles, an abstract mosaic. New floor is hexagonal tiles that come very close in color to the wall tiles. Saved wall tiles went on the entrance, and the back wall and sides. New tiles, matching the hex floor exactly, went into the bottom row, and on the inside of the front wall. Saved brown trim went in at the entrance. Now the big glass marble came out: Dave released it in each of the 4 corners, and the marble rolled briskly to center. It stopped on the grate or touching the grate. There you go. It looks like it will out-live me. Dave made smart-phone pictures and movies of each step, documenting each layer as it was revealed, then documented the repairs, the new drain, the new pan, new mortar, tiles and finally grout. He sent them to us as he worked, and posts these on his web site where prospective clients can see what he does. It's worth your time.

great experience with David. No BS. He tells you what he can do and tells you his price. If you're…read morelooking to fix up your shower, just call and schedule with him.

Had some long overdue projects last minute for a loft work space…read more Mike is as personable as he is a perfectionist. He got each task done so well and quickly I came up with another last minute project and he had the exact precision cutting tool required., Whaaaaaaatttt , yes amazing. Mike also has great aesthetic suggesting just the right light bulbs to keep a space well lighted and warm. Gotta tell he is so competent I would love to see what his place looks like cause it must be amazing.

"Go fuck yourself!" is the last of several outbursts yelled at me by handyman Michael Andrews…read more He was hired to replace 2 rotted deck boards and repair dry rot on my threshold. At the preliminary meeting, I asked him how much he charged but he would only say, "I will be fair, and I will work with you," waving away my question. I mentioned I did not want to be charged for chatter, as he loves to talk. The oak threshold was warped and had to be exchanged. The 2 porch floor boards were also warped. It took him 3 hours to remove and replace 2 boards, which he did competently. Then he tried to install the new threshold, which was too thick for the space, as the door would not close. We noted the original threshold was not rotted; only the narrow horizontal strip abutting the threshold had rot. I asked several times that he use the old threshold, but he refused, instead trying several time consuming maneuvers, including removing carpet tacking, cutting the edges of the oak threshold, and trying to shim an already too thick threshold. Finally he was about to plane the oak when I protested again. He got increasingly more angry with me for asking he use the original threshold. Finally he waved me away, saying, "Get out of here, I am the professional." When I did not retreat as "commanded," he said, "I don't like you!" Soon after, he made a strange and uninvited attempt to hug me, only to regain his rage when I again requested using the original threshold. He slammed down his tools and left, returning with an additional board to shim the new threshold, which also failed. He finally agreed to reinstall the original threshold and replace only the dry rotted strip, which should have taken 30 minutes (see photos). His bill was $350 plus materials. He finally advised me he charged $85 per hour. We settled on $250, which I thought was excessive, but I was glad the ordeal was over. Later that day, I went out to prime the replaced strip, only to find the vertical door frame abutting the threshold was dry rotted as well. Photos show rotted area, which I cleaned out. He either did not notice or did not bother to advise me. He came over the next morning to see the damage, and began by yelling that he did not appreciate my accusing him of not addressing the additional dry rot. Naturally, I have hired someone else to complete the job. I am a 74 year old woman, and if I did not have better things to do, I would consider reporting him to the CSLB for elder abuse. Anyone who hires him needs to insist on an upfront estimate of charges, guard against his chatter adding to the time charged, and make sure that his work has been completed satisfactorily.
