Gary and his whole team are incredible. They have decades of experience and take great pride in their craft - it shows in the outcome of each project. They do beautiful work! We were so impressed with their attention to detail, communication, brand standards and timeliness when they installed ceramic tiling in our home. Everything was explained thoroughly from start to finish. I’m looking forward to having them back for another round of home-improvement projects.

Gary is very easy to work with. He comes when he says he will and has a very professional approach to his work. He is very reasonable for the work performed and I would always have him do any tile or stone work I wanted done.

We saw the great reviews for Fulmer tile on Angie's list so held out for him even though he was very busy. We liked the idea of having a small family business do the job. We literally waited 9 months for the job, with the hole in our wall covered with a garbage bag from October until June. He originally thought he would have time in January, but we finally got the July dates on the schedule. The estimate was for $1,118.50. Gary and his crew were personable and prompt, and went right to work. On the second day, when Gary said the crew would start tiling the surround and he would come by noonish, I expressed my concern, because the reason we had waited so long was to have him do a professional job in the tub surround, which seemed like the more difficult area, and we wanted a quality job. He assured me that it would be a cake walk for his experienced crew. There were two problems with the job. One was that they used the wrong pencil line tiles. I had shown Gary the tiles we were using, but between showing him that first day and his crew tiling the second day, communication dropped somewhere along the line. Prior to the job, before we had found the correct tile, we had purchased a "bird-in-the-hand" pencil line, and the crew used that one instead of the final choice. It was 10x as expensive as the one we wanted, so that was a bummer -- Gary did point it out to me after the tiles were all up, when he realized the error. He offered to tear it all out and use the desired pencil line. That seemed extreme, and I figured the tiles wouldn't clean up well enough to return anyway, so I tried to be a good sport and shrugged it off as "it's just money, right?" What I did not realize at the time was that the expensive tile they used was also 1/8" wider and threw off the line so the new surround tiles don't line up with the adjacent wall tiles. I was too flustered about the cost difference and trying not to over-react so I didn't clue in enough. I share the blame for the poor communication and for leaving the wider expensive tiles out with the other materials, and for not evaluating more carefully when he offered to tear it out, but I do wish that the worker had brought it to my attention as soon as he saw that the wide pencil tile would throw the line off. You can also see in the photos that some of the tiles are slightly skewed and the pencil lines don't line up in the corners, etc. The other main problem with the job was the grout. Gary left a less experienced worker to do that without any oversight. The worker asked us to continue wiping the grout after he left (which seemed a little weird). We did contact Gary that evening, letting him know that there was a lot of grout still left on the tiles, and expressing concern that the grout would harden too much by the next day to fix it. Gary said it would be fine the next day. They did come out and work on it the next day, but after they fixed it as much as they could, even Gary said that it was not a good grout job. Gary did not charge us for retiling the surround because of the bad grout job, and subtracted that $315 off of our bill. I would have far preferred to pay the whole price for a quality job. He added on $60 for reinstalling the grab bars when rebuilding the surround; I'm not sure why that wouldn't have been included in the original estimate. The final bill was $962.50. In summary, the bathroom absolutely does look way better than when we started -- the tub surround doesn't have a huge hole in it, and the floor tile is a big improvement. It is probably a better job than we could have done ourselves, and we didn't have to do it. They were pleasant people to deal with. Gary did try to make good on the problem by discounting the bill, although he couldn't fix the problems. I definitely would not have waited 9 months if I knew it would turn out like this. I would either decide to go with a big shop (for a hopefully more professional job and higher bill), or with our regular contractor who is less experienced with tile (for a similar level of job and similar price but a lot faster). [in my ratings I considered responsiveness to be the January->July delay; punctuality to be each day on the job]

This tile work Fulmer Tile worked on was part of a large whole-house remodel. From the time I called for the first estimate it was clear that Gary the owner was very professional and easy to work with. He came by to look at the project and responded with a simple proposal in a few days. When we decided to have him do the work he kept us updated as we worked to schedule the work around the other projects going on during our remodel. We used glass tile in the bathroom that required a lot of skill to install. Gary made it look easy and had the work done in two visits. He also faced our new gas fireplace with stacked stone. The fireplace was in a corner of the living room and every piece of stone had to be custom cut to match the angles. It turned out great an is the focal point of the living room.

Couldn't be happier with Fulmer tile. Had some sticker shock after pricing out the local design stores. Fulmer tile advised us to purchase our own tile from whatever source we wanted and they would install. Total job with labor and materials came to about 1/4 of what the design stores quoted.
Excellent quality work. Project took about 1 day with a few extra hours on the second day to caulk.
I can't recommend Fulmer tile enough.

Gary was very responsive via e-mail and managed to fit my project in between larger corporate projects. He arrived promptly and was great at communicating progress and providing updates. I ordered my tile online and picked up the rest of the installation materials (grout, caulk, adhesive) at Home Depot; Gary installed my backsplash over the course of two days and did a marvelous job. Top notch workmanship and his estimate was on par - I'll be calling him again whenever I have tilework to be completed.

This guy is fantastic. He did a very marvelous job and had a very reasonable price. He shows up on time and finishes as scheduled, he will work with you in what kind of design you want in your bathrooms. There was some grout in the bathroom that came loose about a month after he finished the bathroom, we called him and he came out the next day to repair it. He guarantees his work, he'll even allow you to put that in writing. He was so reasonable that you couldn't believe the work that he did, I have referred him to people on several occasions.

His name is Gary Fulmer. He is an absolutely outstanding artist. He was very quick and efficient. He was very reasonable too. His price did not include materials as we bought our own tiles. He is the best tile guy in the world. He is very busy as well. As a result it is a little difficult to schedule sometimes, but it's worth waiting for. He is fantastic. We couldn't have been more pleased.
