I didn't want to post until the job was completed and I was happy with the work. The person's name is Danny Carr and he owns DC Tile. He is local,
from here, lives in Summerfield. Phone # is 352-266-7016.
Tell him you saw the recommendation on Talk of the Villages.
My lanai was tiled yesterday. He uses quickset mortar so the tile was laid
in the morning and right after lunch they came back and did the grout.
I am very pleased with the job. He had to do some special measuring because the area to be tiled was 1 inch of square probably due to the lanai
or when the former owners had it enclosed and put 8" tile around the perimeter. I needed about 100 square feet of tile, of course had to buy more for the cuts. He came on time, had a helper who also knew what he was doing but was closely supervised, was very nice.
They didn't play the loud music which we have found is common with contractors.

OK, as to cost I paid 99 cents each for tile. This is a second home (villa)
and I didn't want to go overboard. If there wasn't already 8 inch tile all around the perimeter of the lanai I would have just stained the cement floor myself. Grout was about $15 for the bag and the quickset was about $45. He supplied the membrane that covered the stress joint in the middle of the lanai so the tile wouldn't crack. I paid in total around $400 for the whole job. The closest thing for same ceramic tile from a storefront dealer
they wanted 5.99 a sq ft so for all the trouble I saved about
$200. That may not be a lot to some but it us for us.
Paid him $240 for the labor which included picking up the prepaid tile and supplies from Home Depot and the membrane. I hope this helps.

You can call Brian at 262-409-0931. You would love this guy! He not only is good at what he does but just a real gem to get to know. He does take a while but it's because he does such good work and is in demand.
