Not only are they excellent craftsmen that understand what true quality means butt their professionalism is Top Notch including reliable, resourceful and educated in their craft! I highly recommend them! **Comment from Hawthorne Tile:** > Thank you Mimi. It is always a pleasure to work with you on your amazing projects! **★★★★★ — HU-859607859, Nov. 2018** > We’ve done our last tile jobs with Hawthorne. Both were large, complex bathrooms in condos and condos are more of a hassle for contractors. They were great to have in our home and in the building, super easy, thoughtful. > > As buyers, we’re detail oriented (read picky) with a fair bit of experience. We’re also insistent (read we have expectations). > > Bottom line: every person we dealt with, from the main office to the job site were flat out excellent. These folks are highly competent, straight shooters who do what they say. Having them in the building and in our homes was delightful. > > I don’t remember if they cost a little more but if they do and you can swing it, you should. We’ve used a dozen tile outfits in this area over the years. Some were disasterous. Hawthorne is in a different league for service, consideration, patience, respect and job quality. > > With Hawthorne you can be confident your job will be done right and you won’t have to fight or argue to get there. **Comment from Hawthorne Tile:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Everyone at Hawthorne Tile is passionate about what we do! We have all worked very hard to establish Hawthorne Tile's great reputation. We all understand the only way to protect that hard work is to consistently provide respectful, caring service, excellent craftsmanship, and attention to detail for our clients. We are so pleased to know that you are happy with our work. > > Thank you again for YOUR time! **★★★★★ — Centered Interiors, March 2017** > Finding a great tile setter is a difficult task. Hawthorne Tile has it down to a science. Dirk and his team are absolute professionals in their field. Their work is meticulous and beautiful. They have the knowledge to offer and provide the appropriate solution for any problem tile related. I can't recommend them enough! **★★★★★ — Kismet Design, July 2015** > Best Tile Shop in Portland! Dirk and his crew are artisans. They help designers and clients creatively solve problems ahead of time and their aesthetic cannot be beat; plus Dirk and his installers are fun to work with. My clients are always delighted with the results and I know that any issue that comes up, (and they always do...) will be handled. I recommend them any chance I get! > Erin Marshall > Kismet Design **★★★★★ — Robin Rigby Fisher, CMKBD/CAPS/CLIPPS, May 2015** > I have worked with Hawthorne Tile since 2004, they are professional, on time, and true artisans! Many people set tile, very few can install tile with the attention to details that Dirk and his crew accomplish! My clients have been more than thrilled with their work, which makes my job as a designer so much easier. I highly recommend Hawthorn Tile! **Comment from Hawthorne Tile:** > Thank you Robin! Such a great design in this bathroom - makes our job fun. **★★★★★ — Linda Sherman, Feb. 2014** > Dirk and his crew were the best craftsman that I have ever hired. They were understanding, thoughtful and went that extra mile to please and produce a spectacular design. The firm is not cheap but it was definitely worth the price to be totally happy. They did my main bathroom remodel. **Comment from Hawthorne Tile:** > We are so glad you are enjoying your new bathroom! Knowing that remodeling isn't always easy, everyone at Hawthorne Tile strives to make the process as smooth as possible. From your first consultation to the final invoice we want you to feel confident and cared for. Thank you for choosing Hawthorne Tile. **★★★★★ — cherylmcl, Jan. 2014** > Hawthorne Tile took on a job that other tile people said did't think would work. We had an original concrete formed tile pan that had been coated several times with enamel that was peeling. They removed the old layers down to the concrete base, then did a masterful job of tiling over it with thin glass tiles. The job was made more difficult by all the curved edges, but they cut the glass tiles beautifully to make a design at the corners, which were particularly challenging. We couldn't be happier! And they were on time and on budget. What more could you ask for? Thanks! **★★★★★ — Lord Design, June 2013** > Hawthorne Tile is an amazing company. Dirk, the owner, is an absolute pleasure to work with. They care about what they do and how it gets done. You can count on Dirk to talk things through and be a part of the team. As a designer I can count on Dirk and his team to provide top notch service along with gorgeous, perfect installations which make my clients very, very happy. > Thanks Dirk, you and your team are awesome! ## Selected projects - [Mt Tabor Modern Primary Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mt-tabor-modern-primary-bath-pj-vj~7572676) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 5 - Description: A complete gut renovation of a primary bathroom from its original 1970s layout and materials to a contemporary retreat.

The homeowners’ desire was to stay true to the authentic tile colors, shapes and layouts that were popular in the Art Deco period of the late 1920’s and 1930’s. Unfortunately, none of the original tile was salvageable with the exception of several small, floral medallions. These original floral medallions became the inspiration for the cheerful blue and yellow master bathroom and were used as accents througho… - [Arts & Crafts Kitchen and Fireplace](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arts-and-crafts-kitchen-and-fireplace-pj-vj~1416908) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Barrier Free Bathroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/barrier-free-bathroom-pj-vj~1239210) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: This bright, yet peaceful white and gray tile bathroom with its barrier-free shower, heated floors, and custom touches makes getting ready for work feel more like a trip to the spa. - [Craftsman Hearth for Wood Stove](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/craftsman-hearth-for-wood-stove-pj-vj~703343) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: This one-of-a-kind hearth was designed for the owner to reflect the beautiful Craftsman styling of their home.
