Robert Mara is an excellent tiler. He tiled a complicated shower room (like the ones in Europe) in our recently purchase limestone. His estimate was reasonable, he consulted with us twice, he was knowledgeable, dependable, speedy, and a pleasure to have in our home! I am a designer, very detail oriented and have already used him again for one of my projects.

I'm not sure about the 1 million $ liability insurance, you will have to contact him. His contact info is rmara13@verizon.net

Jamie is fantastic....a perfectionist and professional who take great pride in his work. We just finished using him to paint the floor-through rental unit on our top floor. His rate was reasonable, he came in on short notice and we had a tight window to complete the job before our tenant's move-in date. He brought in his meticulous hand-picked crew and he made the tenant move in date and came in $25 under his estimate. All that, and he didn't cut corners (very precise lines & good coverage). I am a designer and very detail oriented and will use him for all future projects. He can be reached on his cell @ 917.446.5175 or email him @ jamie.grubb@gmail.com

Our GC redid the bathroom. We ripped out the tub, installed a dual shower, Schluter system, 12x24 and 24x24 tile, new toilet, radiant heat. Well were are near finishing it and I would totally recommend him. Tiberias Construction - Mike Borcina. http://tiberiasconstructioninc.com/index.htm

Good luck!

I can also vouch for Rob Mara.

We'd used him a few times in the past for minor tile repair and he just re-tiled our 5x7 bathroom a few weeks ago. He did the tub & shower enclosure (including tearing down to the metal beams and putting up new backer board), baseboard and re-grouted our existing 2x2 floor tile. He's a nice guy, works fast, does good work, charges fairly and has always returned calls and emails promptly.

Jamie did my living room in Park Slope in August and did a fabulous job. I found him through this forum and was very pleased with his customer service and the job.
