SPARTA TILE & MARBLE INSTALLATION

He came and very meticulously reviewed the tile replacement for our foyer and was straight forward about what was necessary to perform the job right. It was going to be a bigger and more expensive job that we had planned on if we continued with our plan for very large tiles...which aside from some cracked ties, was the only reason to do the replacement.  (I think smebody else would have started the job and then tacked on charges due to an uneven floor section.) Instead he recommended tile repairs in that area and in our kitchen counter, and gave us great information on maintenance. He p[erformed the repairs reasonably and quickly. We think that he was very professional and prevented us from making a poor choice.

Yanni is the best tile installer.  End of story.  He works for you, not a company.  You pick the title and buy it where ever you like.  Please take his suggestions, he knows Everything there is to know about tile and how and where to instal it.  He has 40+ years in the business and it shows.
I brought him over when the bathrooms were framed unfinished lumber.  That was my mistake, I should have called him sooner.  He had to fix the walls because they were not level or plumb.  He also made the floors level, he did this by a 3 part process.  First he determined where the problems were in my existing floor.  then he installed a plywood base with wire mesh and cement, then a thinset (it was more than that, I'm not giving up his secret recipe).  The floor was very crooked.  He didn't think just using a cement board would fix the problem.  Believe me those floors are now perfect.  Solid.
We knew basically what we wanted.  Marble mosic on the floors with a white subway tile on bath walls.
He knew where to buy them.  Because not all subway tile are created equal.  Some places sell substandard tile, or have crappy brands. But can still have some good tile as well.  He has installed every type & kinds that exists.  Listen to his advice, dont take it personally if he tells you what your thinking is wrong.  He is looking out for you.
We had 3 bathrooms done and were waiting for a basket weave marble mosic for the last room but could not find one.  We ordered 3 others and they "did not run right".  They did not fit together when placed on floor.  Some gapes were too big or small.  Or the color was not what we ordered.
He laid out the entire floor before starting to instal it.  That was huge!! Those floors would have been uneven/ not straight had he not checked before the instal.  We are talking about $25/sq ft tile....yes ridiculiously expensive, and it was junk. (Best Tile)
I could go on and on, but Yanni is the best.  Honest, Trustworthy and an overall great guy.
Why doesn't he have reviews??
He has been working for contractors in Little Compton for like 15 years building unbelievable bathrooms.
So if you want your bathroom tile done right, call Yanni.  He's busy, but well worth the wait.
Pricing??  He will give you an estimate and he will stick to it.
You save on tile as he is not making anything on it nor is he trying to upsell you to buy stuff you don't need.
He works for you, He takes pride in his work.
You will be glad you hired Yanni.

Yanni did a beautiful job. We are very happy with it.
