### Reviews

**★★★★★ — David Cory, May 2025**

> Fall of 2024 we met Rick and Family. We asked them to help us make a dream come true by designing and installing the bathrooms in a newly purchased lakeside condo. My wife, Mary, and Abigail came up with a great design idea after visits, calls and emails. The design process was very smooth, and the advice Abigail gave us helped us immensely. The renditions and layouts Alex put together made it possible to see it more clearly before installation, something we both really needed and appreciated. We were ready to get started.
>
> The installation began. From the start Rick was very reassuring and constantly in contact with us. He has an eye for details and the contractors he works with are both very friendly and extremely good at what they do. It was like watching dominos fall, one task after the other, in perfect succession to the final goal. Any unforeseen issues were communicated and fixed right away. The crews are organized and professional. But what stood out even more is how friendly everyone is, a real bright spot for this community. Mary and I are new and really felt like we made some good friends in this process. These aren't just good workers, these are good people and we feel very fortunate to have met them.
>
> Ok, I'm rambling. Anyway, both bathrooms are beautiful and they helped us figure out much more than that throughout the condo. We very highly recommend them

**★★★★★ — 3D Builders, June 2018**

> Rick Miles Artisans provide top notch quality and service.  They are easy to work with and diligent with details.  Abigail has an eye for design and we are happy to collaborate with them.  Professional, prompt, courteous.

**★★★★★ — Kathy Beernink, Feb. 2017**

> We have hired Rick for three different remodeling projects, two bathroom and one kitchen.  Both he and Abigail were very helpful answering questions, suggesting changes in design and  in choosing materials that would enhance our home.  We were very impressed with the quality of workmanship and attention to even the smallest details by all of the craftsmen involved.  Would definitely hire again.

**Comment from Rick Miles Artisans:**

> Thank you, Kathy! We always enjoy working with you and loved all of the selections you made. Thank you for allowing us to work in your beautiful home.

**★★★★★ — Bobbie Richard, Oct. 2016**

> We had a wonderful experience working with Rick Miles Artisans. The work was done timely and efficiently and the end result was a beautiful kitchen remodel. Rick was very helpful and listened to our ideas, offered helpful advice and delivered a wonderful product. We couldn't be happier. If any concerns arose, they were dealt with right away and resolved. I highly recommend this business for your remodeling projects.

**★★★★★ — sharpenau, Oct. 2015**

> Very helpful and did great work.   Very particular on how things were done. Efficient and timely with there work.   Took the time to get the right people in there to get the job done right.   We had a furnace problem while they were working and he helped resolve that problem even though it really was not  really his job.
>
> We really enjoyed working with Ric and his staff.

**★★★★★ — Sherry Fuhrman, Sept. 2015**

> We had Rick Miles install granite countertops for our outdoor kitchen. Rick, Abigail, and his crew were very helpful, curteous, prompt, and stayed right on with their estimate of cost and completion date. I would definatly recommend him to our friends.

**★★★★★ — burrellcj, Sept. 2015**

> I love working on projects with Rick Miles and his crew! I never have to worry about how the job will turn out. They always do fantastic work, clean up their mess, and make sure they leave things better than they found them. I highly recommend Rick Miles Artisans!
> Cathy Burrell ~ Posh Designs

**★★★★ — HU-3519060, Sept. 2015**

> I have purchased tile to DIY and have rented their floor refinishing equipment. Everyone we work with is full of advice. Even though we are a small customer, we never feel like we aren't as valuable.

**★★★★★ — jevogel, Sept. 2015**

> When we built a new home all of our hard surfaces came from Rick Miles Artisans.  They handle quality products.  Their knowledge of their products, whether it is granite, porcelain, ceramic, or wood is very thorough.  They also have a great eye for design and were very helpful in choosing the large slabs of granite and knew which wood floor would be best for our lifestyle.
> We give them 5 stars because they deserve it!

**★★★★★ — prophit, Sept. 2015**

> We contacted Rick Miles about replacing a broken bathroom countertop/with two sinks.After a discussion about the different types that would be available, we decided to go with granite. We then selected a slab that seemed to have the colors that we needed.Within two days, we received an estimate from Rick. We paid the required deposit and his staff schedule us into their project timetable. A crew met with us to create a template and within a week ....the project was completed.
>
> The entire experience was great!!!! The product , workmanship and staff were outstanding.

**★★★★★ — lindacod, Sept. 2015**

> Summer of 2014 was the time to remodel our almost 100 year old lake cottage kitchen.  Rick Miles' team helped incorporate my ideas into a plan that would function well and look good.
> Installing new cabinets into a space with few level walls, floors, or ceiling was a skill mastered by their carpenter.  He was meticulous about repairing problem areas of the room and installing the new cabinets.  As a result, we now have a beautiful kitchen that functions well for multiple cooks.

**★★★★★ — jobirdie65, Sept. 2015**

> Rick and his family worked with me to add high end touches to my home remodel project.  We struggled what to do for a back splash in the kitchen after we picked out the granite.  Abigail came up with simple, elegant solutions for us. The guys in the back work hard and turn out great finished product and installation of the granite was flawless.  Rick Miles Artisans did their best to stay within my budget and together we pulled off a beautiful remodel project.  They are honest, down to earth people with an eye for detail.   You will not be disappointed working with them.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What floors are these?** *(in Photo Questions)*

We are looking to remodel our kitchen and love soapstone countertops but we are stuck on floors. What are these?

A: In the kitchen is a black slate with an enhancing sealer applied, the dining room side is a red oak site finished floor.

**Q: What is the color of the back splash and the granite counter tops?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello :) This granite is St Cecilia, this color can vary quite a bit depending on the lot you get. I would recommend selecting it in person if possible.

**Q: leather cushions** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are the cushions custom ?

A: Can you share the paint color?

**Q: Concerns with Globus cork samples** *(in Kitchens)*

Heard about Globus glue-down cork floor tiles here (Williamsem, I think?) & was very excited. Loved the number & types of colors available as well as the many tile sizes & shapes - I'm hoping for color and pattern (more than simple checkerboard) in our kitchen floor, but don't want ceramic tile. I ordered 8 samples (all in "Nugget" texture), received them (Yayyy - neat colors!), & ran the tip of my thumbnail over one (not too hard, & my nails are woefully thin). YIKES!!! Immediate incised line in the tile. Pressed, again not too firmly, with the end of a knife handle; result was clear indentations. I hoped that all these marks would magically disappear because the cork would "heal itself", but a week later they're all still there. Here are 2 photos (I hope):

I've read such great things about cork floors - is a casual fingernail swipe more than it should take to mark these tiles? We don't have pets, but I've seen posts where people with dogs say the dogs' nails don't damage the cork - how can that be? 
By the way, we've also thought a bit about Marmoleum (we're going for a Craftsman-inspired feel; QS white oak cabinets/soapstone counters), but don't want sheet product (want more pattern) & the Marmoleum tiles are 13" square, I think - larger than I want & I REALLY liked the idea of combining Globus shapes & sizes. Those of you who are planning or considering cork tiles: may I ask for your thoughts and wisdom? Thank you!

A: Agreeing with the post last month by Christopher Duff. We purchased and paid in full for 500 square feet of cork flooring in JUNE. We were also told 8 weeks for a lead time. Now 17 weeks later, still no flooring, and WHEN I can get someone to respond to an email they always tell me its still 1-2 weeks out, then when that time goes by and I reach out again, its still 1-2 weeks out. They just keep pushing the date back. They NEVER instigate contact, you will NEVER get them to pick up the phone. I should mention they were great about contact during the sales and payment process. But once they had our money (nearly $5000) all contact ceased. They should not be allowed to run a business this poorly. DO NOT BUY FROM GLOBUS CORK!!!
