### Reviews

**★★★★★ — whitsize, Feb. 2023**

> Kevin did an absolutely amazing job installing a beautiful marble octagon tile backsplash for our kitchen! The corners all lined up continuously, the grout was all the same width, and the workmanship overall was phenomenal. He educated us on the ins an outs of tilework and was very personable, an all around nice guy. Definitely worth the money! Thank you

**Comment from Kevin Horton:**

> it was a pleasure to do some stone work.love the look of Grecian colored Marble.

**★★★★★ — HU-772344623, Sept. 2022**

> Kevin did a great job installing our heated slate tile project. He took his time to make sure it was completed properly. The concrete floor area he was working with required a lot of prep work and he took his time to make sure it was correct. I’m very happy with the outcome!

**★ — HU-32573916, June 2022**

> Kevin left my house a complete disaster!!!  A professional he is not.  I’ve had new quartz counter tops, newly painted cabinets and newly painted walls and trim scratched, paint now missing, or grout wiped or dropped on it.  Tile job is absolute garbage he is not a professional by any means. How someone could do this to another persons home and take money from them is beyond me.

**★★★★★ — HU-822976595, Jan. 2022**

**★★★★★ — HU-650689512, Oct. 2019**

> Kevin Horton did an excellent job remodeling my bathroom. I had wanted to do this remodel for quite some time, and he made it so easy. He was easy to communicate with and got the job done in a timely manner. When he finished my bathroom, it was clean and was everything we had discussed. Definitely would recommend him for his beautiful tile work!

**★★★★★ — Don Lennard, Dec. 2018**

> Kevin was responsive and did a nice job. Had to fix a mess left behind by prior DIYER. Would recommend.

**★★★★★ — Dick Brown, Dec. 2017**

> Kevin installed intricate glass tile in our remodeled kitchen and half bath. It looks beautiful. He was subcontracted by my remodeler I’ve known for years through other work on my home. Kevin was used because he does some of the best work in town. My remodeler would not have contracted him otherwise. Remodeling is a tough business and some clients can be unreasonable. Keep that in mind when you read reviews.

**Comment from Kevin Horton:**

> Thank you very much for your kind words . Hope you enjoy your kitchen for yrs. To come!

**★★★★★ — Becky Wade, April 2017**

> Thank you ,it was a pleasure to work with your contractor to install your glass tile.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What is the name of the purple paint color used on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What is the name of the purple paint color used on the walls?

A: nice Shower. i did one like that except stacked in dark forest green colored a yr. ago! turned out surprisingly nice!!

**Q: Tumbled Stone Grouting** *(in Kitchens)*

I have decided that I like the tumbled 4" tile look better than the porcelain look kind of alikes. The color I have picked is Sisal although I want to seal it with a little more color. 
Where do you buy sealer with color?
I also have a question about the grout. I have grouted many tiles but never tumbled ones.

I plan on using gray grout. I like the pits and holes in the tile. How do you grout tiles like this and keep the grout out of the pits and holes? In other words I only want to grout the edges. Should I seal the tile first then grout? Grout and wipe it out of the center of the tile, or just be careful not to get grout anywhere but the grout lines?

This is what I'm after.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

A: not a grout sealer,but a stone sealer is best!! there are 2 choices  water based or petroluem based sealer.Petroluem based will leave it shiny somewhat! there is a product called grout release. it helps clean up the grout when wiping it down!! i hate using grout bags,you never know if your getting the grout lines completely filled up, the bag will create air pockets when wiping grout. i am a pro of 28 yrs. exp.
