My husband Ricky is a contractor with his own business. The house that we originally bought was a handyman special. We ripped it down to the ground, and my husband built a very big beautiful house in it's place. With 2 kids, a mortgage and private school tuition's, we didn't have enough money to finish the kitchen and bathroom downstairs the way that we would have liked to. We had to do nice but temporary rooms for both. By 2003 we had saved enough money, and that is wear Richie comes into the picture. Before he did any work for us, he took us to the job that he had just finished. When we saw the beautiful work that he had done there, we both knew that he was the man for us. We were very impressed with not only his workmanship, but also his sincerity and honesty. The tumbled terra-cotta tile floor that he put down for us in our kitchen is just gorgeous. He helped us to pick out the most gorgeous granite countertop also. When he put the countertops in place, the whole room just came together so beautifully. My downstairs has an open floor plan. Off the kitchen on one side is a very large home office. I was so impressed with Richie's work, that I had my husband pull up the floor that was in the office and had Richie run the terra-cotta tile into the office. One of the best parts is that when you come through the French doors into the office, there is a big beautiful intricate inlay in the floor. It is just so beautiful and breathtaking. It give the room such character. Off the kitchen on the other side is my livingroom/diningroom. We decided to redo it 2 years ago. We had Richie run the terra-cotta floor straight through. Also when you enter this room through the French doors, Richie put down the same big beautiful inlay that is in the office. One inlay balances out the other and it just looks so incredible. In March of this year(2007) we redid the bathroom downstairs. We used all tumbled marble in 2 different shades on the walls and the floor is also a very beautiful tumbled marble that matches the accent shade from the walls. The very large walk in shower has a very beautiful granite in it and the same beautiful granite is used for the bathroom vanity countertop. My kitchen and downstairs bathroom are truly stunning!  I get so many compliments on my house. We wanted the WOW effect, and by having Richie do the work we definitely got it. My husband and I had a vision for our house and Richie helped us to achieve it. The work that Richie does is just so remarkable. I have referred Richie to many different people who are looking to have their kitchen or bathrooms redone. Since my husband builds houses for a living, he always refers Richie for any kind of tile work to be done. I have seen many of the other kitchens and bathrooms that Richie has done, and I have to say that they are all very, very beautiful!  Everybody that we have ever referred to Richie has always been very satisfied and raved about the beautiful work that he has done for them. I cannot say enough nice things about Richie. He has a great personality, he is fair and honest, and the work that he does is magnificent. He really puts his heart and soul into everything that he does. My door is always open any time Richie wants to show off the beautiful work that he has done at my house to a potential customer. Sometime in the near future I will be putting in a fireplace in my upstairs livingroom, and I look forward to Richie doing the mantel and all the other work that goes along with it. We already know that we are going to be completely satisfied. Richie doesn't just do a job for you, he creates a lasting masterpiece!
