LARRY WALKER TILE

Larry was very professional. He was punctual and even though it wasn’t a big job he treated it and us as though it was. We are very happy with his work.

Excellent. Great quality, great communication, great price.

Larry did such a fantastic job with our subway tile kitchen backsplash! We had uncovered some serious damage to the drywall and an old window sill underneath our current one that made the project way out of our DIY league. Larry came gave us a very competitive quote and had the project booked for the next week. Will hire him again!

Perfect.  4 days later we where use bathroom.  All stated above.  Would use him again and recommend to other people!

He gave me a price that was the same when I gave him the job a week later.  He cut tile on my counter and he used a vac to hold down the dust.  The job took the same amount of time that he said it would. He cleaned up after the job was over and ask if he could do and thing else.  I will use him again if need be.

Larry is completely professional. He got back to me in a timely fashion when I first called him for a quote. He was there when he said he would be there, and he got the job done in the time he said it would take to do so. There were no surprises, and his work turned out great. I will definitely hire Larry again.

There is both art and skill to installing tile and it is necessary to plan ahead so you don't end up with very narrow pieces at the end. Larry is very experienced at what he does and is a true professional with a good attitude.    
In addition, I am a stickler for narrow grout lines and not everyone can do a good job with this, but Larry exceeded my expectations and did a very nice job.  It was very cold the week that Larry worked, but he persevered with cutting and installing the tile.
We had to wait about a month for Larry to get to our job, but it was worth the wait.   He covered our hardwood floors and carpet with plastic and cleaned things up when he finished.    
It took just over a week to complete the work due to all that was involved.  Tiling is a messy job, but Larry contained the mess as best he could and the finished bathroom looks great!

We originally used Larry after buying a "Big Deal" from Angie's List.  He did the same work on our guest bathroom 2 years ago.  We were so happy with the work that we re-hired him to do the same work in our master bathroom.  We pulled up the carpet and ripped out the prior shower enclosure (to get everything ready for him) and paid for all of the materials, but still feel like his work is worth a million bucks.  He works very hard and the end result is impeccable.  He had the floor and shower done in just 3 days.

Did a great job. Would recommend.

He was not able to schedule the work right away because he sold a large number of big deals. Once he got here the work did not go exactly as I thought but overall the suggestions he made were adequate.

He did a great job for us.  He was honest, friendly and prompt.  He is a very skilled tiler.  He has a really good sense and it is easy to work with.  I will give him a very strong recommendation.  He was really good.

Larry is a real pro

Getting things scheduled took a bit of time as Larry has a very busy schedule.   Fortunately we were not in a big hurry so it didn't impact us greatly.   The actual installation took about 5-6 hours and Larry worked throughout the entire time.   He was very methodical in his work and it shows in the finished product.   After he was done, he did a good job cleaning up although there is always more that you have to do on your own.  But he made a good effort to make sure things were relatively decent before he left and we did the fine cleaning that is necessary (like mopping the floors because of all the dust, etc.)   Larry got the job done that afternoon and we had everything back in place that evening.   I really enjoy the look he was able to create in these two areas and adds an extra level of completeness to these areas.   We're very pleased.

I purchased one of the daily deals knowing that I eventually wanted to retile our master bath.  It had carpeting.
I went ahead and picked out and purchased the ceramic tile I wanted from Home Depot.
Larry Walker came out and spent about three days meticulously cutting and laying out the tile.  The process took longer than I expected only because I didn't realize all the drying time, etc.
I also bought a new toilet and he installed that for me as well. 
He did an amazing job and also cleaned up after himself.  I would recommend him again. 

His craftsmanship is excellent, thorough and job completion is timely, as estimated. Larry Walker is busy because his finished product looks great! I have highly recommended him without reservation.

Larry came to install the tile in my bathroom. He was very courtious and worked vert neetly. He did such a greatjob I'm going to have him back to do a couple more rooms with tile. Great job Larry!!

We talked on the phone about what I wanted him to do and I was going to schedule with him to have him come take a look. He called back a little later and told me he had done quite a few of these Deals and he wasn’t making enough money on them and declined doing the work for us. He apologized and seemed sincere and nice about it, but he suggested that we get a refund from Angie’s List. I was disappointed that I’ll have to keep looking for someone else.

Larry was quick to return calls.  He was very booked up due to the deal and other work he had scheduled.  This worked ok for us since we were in the middle of replacing our entire kitchen.  Once we were complete I spoke with Larry and scheduled a time.  He arrived as scheduled and completed the work in one day.  Work was done beautifully and he even explained how to care for the tile.

It took a couple of months before Larry was able to get to us. He is apparently very busy as good quality workmanship should be. He was very precise as to measurements so that we were able to buy the unlying materials, cement/grout and tiles with very little left over. His work was superb. The tiles were laid and grout applied flawlessly. Every tile was applied in relationship to the others perfectly gapped and level. The cement has held and grout remained perfectly as well. He didn't remove the materals he didn't use but that was easily deposited in our trash bins ourselves. There was too much for one pick up so we had to spread it out over 3. Other than that he was extremely skilled and the work is superb. We love the look. So much better than linoleum.

Larry's work was really remarkable.  I bought a "Big Deal" package.  He worked very hard the entire time and the end product was just beautiful.  He listened to what I wanted and offered suggestions when I asked.  The job took more time than the package accounted for and I was charged the same rate per hour.   I couldn't be happier and when others come into our house they comment on the quality of craftsmanship too.

Not only is Larry the BEST TILE MAN in Licking County, he also does complete bathroom renovations. He started working construction with his father for over 20+ years. He's definitely a craftsman!
Results were IMPRESSIVE!!! Larry was on time everyday, cleaned up after himself everyday and when completed, it looked OUTSTANDING!   Daily updates on progress. He answered any and all questions with honest answers.
DO:  Schedule well in advance and for a specific date.  Allow for some changes as he is a quite "in demand craftsman".  Be patient.  If you needed it yesterday, then Larry may not be able to help you.
DO:  Ask for and get a DETAILED statement of work.  This protects you and your contractor.
DON'T:  Add on a bunch small details during your project as it will slow its completion and extend the project end date.
DO:  BEFORE the project starts, during the estimate discussion, bring up any concerns you have going in.  Ask about the subcontractors.  If you don't like the subs, provide acceptable/suitable replacement sub-contractors.

He was very unhelpful. I have been trying to get him to come to do my job for about 2 months. I call him every few weeks and he keeps putting me off and putting me off. Finally today I called him again and told me he has no idea when he will come because the contractors keep giving him work. If I don't call him he does not reach out to me.

We were called the day before he was coming out, on a Sunday evening.  He advised he would be onsite with us at 9:00ish on Monday morning.  Larry arrived as promised and started to work.  He removed the crumbling grout, removed loose tiles, taking care not to break a single tile! (we had spares, but didn't need them).  He showed us why the tiles came loose (not set properly into the thinset).  He removed the old thinset, rescrewed down the cement board flooring, and reinstalled the tiles.  A key point I noticed was that he not only trowled the thinset onto the floor boards, but also buttered the back of the tiles (something I think Church St Flooring did NOT do as the backs of the loose tiles showed NO thinset adhession). 
Larry went the extra mile and marked off the reparied tiles with blue tape so that we could cautiously re-enter kitchen area.

 He said he would be back the next day between 9/9:30AM, and sure enough, there he was.  He regrouted the repair tile floor using an addittive to the grout that also acted as a sealer so that we would not have to apply a sealer later.
He cleaned up the work area and left no mess behind.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MAN FOR TILE WORK.  The only downside was the lead time to start the project.  He does communicate this at the beginning, but we had to call him a couple of times to check on the schedule.  Area for improvement, but it is understandable when you are as good as he is.  A true craftsman.
He also does bathroom remodels (soup to nuts) and we are getting an estimate for that project.
