When Star Tile & Stone was originally recommended to me from DalTile in Tualatin to do 6mm porcelain, I had no idea the amount of effort required to create a perfect installation. I also had not idea of the extreme attention to detail that Pavlo (Pasha) takes and how he would start work early in the morning and work sometimes until midnight, to make sure that happened. Our master bathroom was a complete gut and remodel, all plumbing, electrical, flooring, walls were entirely removed and I chose where I wanted all the fixtures and drain to be. He showed me a better way to do things nearly every step of the way and was able to create a vanishing edge drain without any changes to the beam supports. He spend literally 1 1/2 days just to create the niche box. He made sure the entire bathroom was perfectly level in every way, and even came back later to help (for free) to ramp up our flooring going into and out of the bathroom. He recommended large tile dekton which was an amazing choice as our glass guys had a panel shatter when installing and not a scratch on the floor tile. He made sure that every line of the heating floor element didn't have everything over it, and painstakingly spend a couple days just getting the line laid perfect as it all has to be in one strip and is nearly impossible to know exactly where it end. Of course it was perfect. He used special mortar, special caulk, special everything, and explained exactly why the products he used were the best, every step of the way. He's been done for over 2 months now, and every day I'm in our new bathroom I'm so thankful for all of his painstaking efforts. If you're lucky enough to get him to agree to do your project, it will be the best money you've ever spent.
I just added a couple pics of one small area of our master bathroom that had the most detail that Pasha worked on, but he did all the work for the entire bathroom which also included a separate toilet area. read more
