Fantastic work all around. Beautiful result. > Great communication as well and they finished within the timeline they gave! Great experience. **★★★★★ — lizhd, Oct. 2015** > I have used Robb and Laying It Down for 4 projects. Kitchen backsplash and counters, master bathroom redo, stacked stone fireplace and shower renovation. I trust Robb and the craftsmen he hires. Joey did an outstanding job on my fireplace and he and Yessic made me a beautiful shower. I will continue to use them for any future projects and I recommend them highly. **★★★★★ — Verna Van Der Zel, Sept. 2015** > We had our master bathroom redone, and Laying It Down did a great job. They were on time each day and answered any questions or concerns we had. Their tiler Joey was exceptional and a real master at his craft. I would highly recommend them for any renovation. We were very glad we hired them, even though their quote was not the lowest one we got. **★★★★★ — Todd Bruce, July 2015** > I've worked with Robb for the past 2 years helping him acquire items for his projects. I didn't realize how amazing his work was until today. He's always been a pleasure to work with, has not once been anything close to unprofessional, and hope to continue doing business with him for many years to come. If I ever moved into the area, wouldn't dream of having anyone else remodel my home. **★★★★★ — susanmham, June 2015** > I cannot say enough good things about this company. We hired them to remove our existing kitchen floor and replace it with porcelin tile which they did beautifully. It was a pleasure to have the guys in our home. They were polite, showed up on time, left the site clean every day and did a great job. The company is very easy to communicate with and always returned our calls or addressed any concerns we had right away. They are very knowledge, professional and overall wonderful to work with. I definitely would use them again and recommend them to all. **★★★★★ — slisthaus, Jan. 2015** > They did a great job. It started with a thorough assessment of what needed to be done, then an accurate and fair estimate for the costs (much less then the other quote I got) and then proceeded to a timely and professional execution of the work. It is all exactly as we discussed and agreed and it didn't take any management on my part to get it there. If you have work to be done, trust Robb and team to do a quality job. **★★★★★ — pvangalen, Jan. 2015** > We had a major kitchen remodel and Robb and crew were excellent from start to finish. Robb spent lots of time with us assisting us with the layout and design of our project. He was very helpful in these early stages providing his expertise and feedback on our overall design. Between the three of us (my husband I and Robb) we had a pretty solid plan moving forward. Along the way a few changes were made and Robb was more than accommodating and willing to allow our final design to shine through. Robb has an excellent attention to detail and you can see that in the quality of work that he and his crew provide. For the scope of the project we were given an original time frame of 6-8 weeks and Robb and crew completed the major portion of our job within 5 weeks! Needless to say we actually were able to use the entire kitchen for Thanksgiving, which was a very welcome surprise. Robb also employs a fantastic group of workers who showed up when they said, cleaned up and we're extremely respectful to myself, my husband and our two young children. Overall we are extremely happy with the final outcome and love our new kitchen, laundry room and powder room. We look forward to utilizing Laying it down for a few more projects in the future. **★★★★★ — Deana Deep, Jan. 2015** > I hired laying it down to replace a shower in my daughters bathroom. Robb, Krissy, and their team were wonderful to work with. They did an excellent job and were very respectful of schedule, budget and time. Joey who did the demo and tile work was awesome and did an excellent job. I would hire them again and highly recommend them. > > Deana Deep **★★★★★ — rlhavelka, Dec. 2014** > In June of 2014 my wife and I hired Laying It Down to renovate our master bath. The owner Robb Merritt was on the job site regularly and followed progress closely. I am a perfectionist engineer with OCD and very hard to please. That being said the Laying It Down crew met and exceeded my expectations and I have already recommended the company to several of my friends. Mr. Merritt's work is over the top and If you are considering any type of tile work do not hesitate to hire Laying It Down. I plan to have them do more work for me in 2015. Job well done. **★★★★★ — dawray1979, Nov. 2014** > When I first spoke to Robb, I was immediately impressed. As a homeowner unsure of my vision, he was able to gauge my interests and guide me toward what I wanted. After several quotes, we chose Laying it Down because Robb impressed us the most with his creative ideas that complemented our simple, yet classic, motif. Once we submitted our deposit, the only complaint I have was a miscommunication where the company thought they had called us with a timeline when they had not. > That being said, once we picked out our granite and the project started I was over the moon impressed with their crew. I love the plumber (very professional and personable), the tile man is phenomenal, and Krissy came out every day and made sure that everything was done to our expectation and their attention to detail is noteworthy. I cannot stop looking at our new kitchen, it is like we have this new facelift to our house. I will definitely use them again. **★★★★★ — esiegler, Nov. 2014** > We talked to several contractors before we talked to Robb and there was no comparison! Robb is a true professional and is extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of of a remodel. Others we talked to had a "yeah I can probably do something like that" attitude. Not Robb - he worked with us to come up with a plan that would be beautiful, functional and within our budget. He has a great eye for design and made suggestions for materials and layout to keep within the budget and give us a beautiful result. His guidance was invaluable. > > Everyone on the Laying It Down Team -Robb, Krissy, Joey & Jaska have impeccable workmanship and a true commitment to excellence. They all went above and beyond to make sure our bathroom was perfect - and it is! We could not be happier. **★★★★★ — kay5534, Nov. 2014** > After researching several companies, we chose Laying It Down to remodel our master bath. Rob, Krissy and Co. Are the most professional company we have employed. They started exactly when they said they would, and came every day- on time...they were very very neat- demo was painless - > And their employees really are artisans. Rob is extremely detailed- and won't stop going over details until each one is perfect...exactly what you want in a remodeler - we found him extremely easy to work with and would recommend Laying It Down unconditionally! Do yourself a favor- hire > the best! ## Selected projects - [Carrara Stone Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/carrara-stone-bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~1265958) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Linear Carrara on a vertical lay complimenting a Quartz counter top](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/linear-carrara-on-a-vertical-lay-complimenting-a-quartz-counter-top-pj-vj~988362) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Illuminate](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/illuminate-pj-vj~842209) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: green glass tile, combo niche, half wall, custom shower, teak folding bench, Daltile, the tile shop, vanity cabinet, open shelf vanity, black granite vanity top, vessel sinks, wood tub deck, wood panel tub face - [Farmhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~1204826) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Kitchen Remodel- Montibello subdivision](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-montibello-subdivision-pj-vj~873340) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Custom Showers by Laying It Down](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-showers-by-laying-it-down-pj-vj~134389) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Lake Norman Condo Kitchen Remodel- North Carolina.](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lake-norman-condo-kitchen-remodel-north-carolina-pj-vj~787654) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [White washed oak 7" wide planks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-washed-oak-7-wide-planks-pj-vj~167493) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Stone & Wood Plank](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stone-and-wood-plank-pj-vj~720818) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Simmons - master bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/simmons-master-bath-pj-vj~188801) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Slate Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/slate-fireplace-pj-vj~188693) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Steam Shower](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/steam-shower-pj-vj~118357) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - [Polished Marble on a Brick Lay](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/polished-marble-on-a-brick-lay-pj-vj~731875) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 - Description: polished marble, 3x6 stone shower, triple niche, recessed mirrors, custom walnut vanity cabinet, flat panel, recessed custom wood vanity shelf, delta shower fixtures, exotic stone counter top, mosaic beige stone floor - [Stack Stone Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stack-stone-fireplace-pj-vj~1200907) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Modern Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-bathroom-pj-vj~134384) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Primary Bath Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/primary-bath-makeover-pj-vj~7689374) - Location: Charlotte, NC - Photos: 17 - [Builders Delux](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/builders-delux-pj-vj~7621832) - Location: Matthews, NC - Photos: 2 - [Before/ After](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/before-after-pj-vj~7621830) - Location: Matthews, NC - Photos: 4 - [Huntersville](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/huntersville-pj-vj~7620575) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - [Front Porch Build + Metal Roof](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-porch-build-metal-roof-pj-vj~7620570) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 [See all 27 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/laying-it-down-inc-pfvwus-pf~1451418604) ## Ideabooks - [high shores kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/182627827/list/high-shores-kitchen) — 13 ideas - [Wood Floors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/158778136/list/wood-floors) — 10 ideas - [Doerer](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/130250034/list/doerer) — 8 ideas - [Woody](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/131840890/list/woody) — 1 idea - [Shepard, Emily](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/129720592/list/shepard-emily) — 9 ideas - [Varner kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/124429470/list/varner-kitchen) — 7 ideas - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/70132124/list/wish-list) — 5 ideas - [modern bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8789643/list/modern-bathroom) — 2 ideas - [old world/ tuscan](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/8291327/list/old-world-tuscan) — 2 ideas [See all 9 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/layingitdown) ## Community Q&A **Q: Unexpected Kitchen Remodel - Design advice?** *(in Remodeling)* A plumbing disaster has forced us into a remodel of our kitchen. We had some ideas for changing the layout, but have just been told our original wood floors are near the end of their life and therefore it would make the most sense to leave the layout as-is, rather than change it and necessitate a floor refinish. This is not our forever home - before this happened we were actually starting to dream about selling. But, now we'll be in here for another year or two, so we'd like to a) get some more functionality out of our kitchen that the original cabinets did not provide and b) make design decisions that get us the most value for our money when we do decide to sell. As you can see, our house is in complete disorder/disrepair, (please don't judge, it's awful!) but we are working with a u-style kitchen. We also have this former dining room area that is now opened up to an actual dining room (currently filled with our stove and all the items from our kitchen cabinets) that I'm not sure we can make any use of. Currently our cat and bunny are making the most use out of that wall. What ideas/advice do you have? I don't know that I have a good design eye for a big project like this! It's a 1950s home and you can see the painted wood paneling - we kind of have a light farmhouse vibe going on. Our style is a mix b/t comfortable farmhouse/stylish mid-century modern. But, obviously I want to make the kitchen pretty neutral for resale. I was thinking some simple white shaker cabinets with gray or black countertops with a white or gray backsplash. But, I'm also worried about creating something that looks too stark. I took this picture from the living room - our house is VERY open and you see the living room and kitchen right when you walk in the front door. Help me Houzz friends! **Q: what kind of tile floor is that and who makes it?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It is a 12x24 porcelain tile from Florida Tile- I do not know the name offhand but will let you know if I come across it. **Q: where can i buy the mirror** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Interested in the sconces, who is the manufacturer? Thx! **Q: Bath surround questions** *(in Photo Questions)* Beautifully done. Is this stone or tile, and purchase details, please. Available in 10mm? A: Hello - Thank you so much - actually it is both! The perimeter accent is a tumbled travertine and the other tile is a porcelain - **Q: Spacing?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I feel like this is not the best work that could be done in this space. The tile spacing is off, sloppy. They aren't finished yet, but the spacing isn't going to change! Am I right? A: Looks like they used the waterproofing just for the seams and nail holes. Cement board needs to be fully covered with waterproofing, two coats suggested. **Q: what color is the quartz?** *(in Photo Questions)* thanks! A: Cesarstone Misty Carina :) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-22.*
