Who knew what "Curate" meant before the AI invasion?

 Thanks to AI the line between real and not really  is getting blurry.

I have to admit it has made me re-think my web presence. 

Indiana's Second Best Tile Contractor Since 1987.

Truth is this is just me, one installer, and what turns out to be a chronical of my life. Trying to glamorize this business is misrepresenting the facts, but then again "I crawl around in other peoples bathrooms for a living" doesn't carry that romance you look for in a tag line.

For me tile is more art than science, and each shower is a creation i take pride in.

"I may not be the best; but I am as good as any and better than most". 

I think the best reference anyone can ever hope for is having made a good living doing only one thing for their entire life. If you are looking for a tile contractor I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you. I provide free estimates online, no strings attached, immediate. Click the link to "self service quotes engine" I built this myself, I think you'll be surprised how accurate it is.

CHANGED LIFESTYLE

This entire bath remodel was less than 65% of the cost of the "one day make over" shower this client had done in another bathroom in the house.

 Originally an awkward, almost free‑standing structure that fought the natural flow of the room, this shower has been completely renovated into a showpiece that feels intentional, open, and beautifully integrated.

  By lowering the side walls just below the ceiling line and removing the overhead bars, the design now embraces the vaulted ceiling—creating an airy, expansive feel while still maintaining privacy. 

  The exterior is set in a stacked pattern using black porcelain. The same porcelain is used on the tub face, borders, and frame.

  Inside, the walls are finished with a refined porcelain tile, set in a modified herringbone pattern.  The niche mirrors this pattern on a smaller scale with hand cut black porcelain from the exterior. Both are paired with a companion grout to create subtle movement without overwhelming the eye.

  The vertical pebble accent adds an organic texture and yet more visual interest, while the full width bench and European style plumbing make this one extraordinary shower.

A new shower door, vanity and top finish off this remodel, one of my favorites of all time.
