Tacoma Tile Contractor | 1204 11th St. Job

I love it when we finish a job because it gives me the opportunity to get on here and show you what great work we've done. When you are looking for a Tacoma tile contractor to help you make your home look beautiful, what better way to decide who's right for the job than to see some of their past work?

I'm calling this job the 1204 11th St. job, for obvious reasons - that's where we did the work. This was a pretty big project, and it took us about a week to finish. Pictures are to come, but to give you an idea of what we did we tore up the old kitchen and laundry room floors, which were carpet and linoleum and laid down tile. We also tore out all the old bathroom tile and put in new tile.

This job was for a rental house, so the owners wanted to keep it basic. Nevertheless, I think you can see the quality that we bring to each and every one of our jobs. If you are looking for a Tacoma tile installer, we hope you'll keep us in mind and give us a chance to take a look at your job and quote you a price.

Before Pictures

These are the before pics. I'm not going to describe them, they pretty much speak for themselves. One thing you'll notice is that we had a lot of work to do.



(I know this one below is sideways, but I couldn't figure out how to turn it!)







Needless to say, there's a lot of work to do. And we did it. This is how the job turned out.

After Pictures

As you can see, the transformation was amazing. It went from old, stuffy, dirty house to new, clean, and ready to move into. We'd love the opportunity to do this to your house too. Well placed, well installed tile can make a dramatic difference in the look and value of your house. If you are thinking of hiring a Tacoma tile installer to help you with your home improvement project, please let us know.

Tacoma Tile Contractor | What I Learned From Steve Jobs

I'm going to let you in on a personal secret - I love to read. I read a lot. Mostly when I'm not working (joke). But I love it. And I love to read all kinds of stuff. When Steve Jobs' biography came out, I decided I would like to read it. And I'm glad I did - it gave me a lot of insight into this company, the way we do things, and some ways that we can be better. So I thought I'd talk a little bit about them today.

Lesson Number One | All Tile Companies are Not Created Equal

Now, before I get too far, I wanted to let you know that I already knew that. I've worked at many different companies over the years, and it's an understatement to say that some of them valued workmanship more than others. That's why I started this company - to provide the type of service and skills that can make people's home look beautiful for years.

But, despite my knowing that, I've found it hard to differentiate myself from others upon first glance. That's one of the hard things to do with service related businesses, is set yourself apart. I can tell you that we are the best Tacoma tile contractors around, but if everyone else is saying the same thing, how do you know?

Steve Jobs in his biography did a great job of demonstrating that it is possible, though I wish he would have owned a tile business so I could see exactly how he would have done it. He took a business that had relied on commodotization (marketing on price) and showed a company could be successful by relying on great products and great service (like we do). This book excited me about thinking about new ways we can show people we are the best Tacoma tile installation company around.

Lesson Number 2 | Wanting Perfection is Not Bad

There are some people in this industry that have one goal in mind - get into and out of your house as quickly as possible. If a cut's off by a few inches or the tiles don't line up just right or the tiles are a little dirty, so be it. The job is done, the money is made, get out of the house.

But we are different in that respect. We take pride in a job well done. We want you to be able to show off our work when we're done to whomever comes over to your house. And to take that much pride in something means we are going to do whatever we can to make sure the job turns out the best it possibly can. Steve Jobs didn't rest until his products looked and performed exactly the way he wanted, and we'll do the same. We want to be more than just another Tacoma tile installer. We want to be (and believe we are) the best.

If you need some tile work done and want to have a final product you can be proud of, give us a call today. We'll come over, take a look, give you an estimate, and show you why we are the best tile installation company for the job.
