"Here is our experience using Exell Ceramic Tile! Nine months after our new master bath was tiled by Exell we noticed some of the tile on the floor was starting to loosen. A call was placed to Val and a detailed message about the problem was left. No return call from Val. In the next couple of months the grout between the tiles continued to chip out and more and more tiles became unattached on the floor. Once covid hit we had to wait to have the problem addressed. This summer we had a very reputable tile layer assess and fix the problem. Here are his words describing what he discovered. “The problem was when installing a porcelain tile over self-leveler, you need to either prime it with a latex primer or use an anti-fracture membrane. The anti-fracture membrane is a better choice because cracks will not transfer though the tile. You need to use one of the 2 because the self-leveler is very porous and porcelain tile is not. The result is what happened here. The thinset binds to the self-leveler and pulls all the moisture out too fast making it so it will not bond to the tile. That is why I was able to pull up the entire floor and reinstall it. Not one bit of thinset was stuck to the tile. The tile was just sitting on the floor loose. Had it been a wall it would have fallen off. The actual tile work looked above average, it was just a lack of knowledge on installing porcelain over a very porous surface.” The cost was $1500 to remove and reinstall our bathroom floor with an anti-fracture membrane. A letter requesting a reimbursement for this expense was sent to a confirmed address with delivery confirmation. It stated he had one month to pay us or we would write a bad review and start a BBB claim. Sadly Val choose to blow us off! Clearly Exell Tile was at fault for the poor installation and it astonished us that Val choose to ignore our reasonable request to be reimbursed. PLEASE BEWARE and take this warning to heart!!!! Here’s an interesting update: the grout in the master shower is now starting to crack!"

"Outstanding Job. Our Forever Floor is Finally Here! Fillip and his crew did a wonderful job on our kitchen floor. After a really bad experience installing LVT on an uneven surface, my partner and I were determined to find a contractor who could get it right this time someone who would give us our forever floor. From the start, Fillip was attentive and professional. He met with both of us, listened to all our concerns, and helped us come up with a solid game plan. I can’t say enough good things about his company. He truly cares about his customers something you don’t see enough these days. Even though I was responsible for providing all the materials, when the transitions I bought didn’t quite match the look of the floor, Fillip went above and beyond. He found and picked up the right pieces that same day so the job could be finished properly. I may not have the flashiest kitchen, but thanks to Fillip, the floor is flawless and I’m definitely hiring him again to do the backsplash once my partner finishes installing the trim. Highly recommend!"

"Wilmes Construction is a great company to work with for basement remodeling. Tom is honest and direct with the work being performed, the schedule was held to pretty closely (life happens), and the whole job was completed under budget. They work with you on selections and design decisions, and are flexible when there are reasonable changes. Overall, I would highly recommend Wilmes Construction for any future remodeling needs."

"The team was amazing! They were personable, worked hard, and followed instructions perfectly. The pricing and communication was great! I will definitely hire them again!"

"Nick built our deck. We were happy at first but other learned his team had cut a water line while digging and never told us and cemented over it. I let Nick know. He said hed try to help me out if he ?could?. I contacted him later to let him know the cost of contractors coming to repair it. He ignored all my calls. Overall disappointed in the ethics and lack of integrity. "

"We had Clark Companies do a small landscaping project for us. They were very careful to protect existing plants and did an excellent job of cleaning everything up when they finished. The project looks great and we are very happy with it."

"Very helpful"
