The wife and I just spent a week visiting around 6 or 7 tile companies in the area. I've also searched and scrutinized all the threads on this site having to do with tile and flooring. Once you nail down your product, you need to concentrate on the company and installers. Today we signed a contract with the installer who is also the owner. The thing that impressed me the most was his attention to installation details, ie., grout and sealer, removing molding, no tile over vinyl, fully tiling under the appliances, removing existing coverings and hauling them away, and completely cleaning the house after the job is done. WOW!!
I hesitate to divulge the company at this point because the job hasn't even been started yet. Next week we'll get to inspect a job he completed using our identical "porcelain." I promise when the job is completed to my total satisfaction, I will announce the name.
