Some of you wanted to see some pics of my tile work, so here you go. I learned the trade from my father who was in the business for almost 20 years, thanks Dad!. Since getting out of the Marines at the beginning of 2001, I have been doing tile full time. I have had my license for about 3yrs. and have been in business for myself 2yrs. I was able to keep all the contractors that my father worked for and picked up a really good one. I don't have any employees other than my wife who does the majority of the bookwork (don't know what I would do without her). This allows me to have complete control over the quality of the work, although it adds a great deal of work to not have a laborer. I mainly do remodels, which is nice because the owners are usually great to work with and are genuinly excited about the project. I really like the creative side and I spend a ton of time on layout so that in the end you just see an awesome job without some little thing to draw your attention away. I really do owe it all to my dad, he taught me well and when he quit doing tile, I was pretty much given his tile tools.Anyways, Fuster asked for it,so here are some pics.
Edit: I started a photo album that has more pics of different jobs and I will be adding more to it as I find and organize my old pics. Portfolio Album
This is actually my parents masterbath (used to be my brothers room) I did the majority of the actual tile work. This is pre license.
These are from the first major whole bathroom that I did on my own.
Some shampoo shelves I made
All of those were all at the same jobsite. Most of the slate walkways were done by both me and my father.
