Labat Custom Tile

We were connected to Rick at Labat Custom Tile through our contractor to complete the shower floor and tiling for our master bathroom. We had looked into other tiling companies and I am glad that we selected Rick to tile our master bathroom.
Rick’s tiling work is superb! Every tile was placed perfectly on the bathroom floor, shower wall/​floor and around the tub. We even called him back to have the backlash done after the vanity was installed. He also did the backsplash for our kitchen.
He used a special machine to bullnose all of the tiles that met up against the textured walls which created a beautiful, seamless finish. Rick also made custom shower shelves and a shower bench which we really like.
Our master bathroom is luxurious and a pleasure to be in. When I compare the work that was done on our guest bathroom by another contractor with the work done in the master bathroom, I wish I would have known Rick so he could have done that job, too!

Rick Labat was recommended to me by the owner of the store where I bought my porcelain tile. After interviewing a couple of other contractors, my husband and I interviewed and selected Rick, who took in stride what others found overwhelming.
We had a decades-​old kitchen floor tile that we wanted to update to fit in with our kitchen remodel. Although it is a big floor in an open-​space plan, Rick was unfazed at removing the old tile — through the cementitious layer, down to the sub-​floor — or installing the new tile with epoxy grout. These were two concerns for others. In order to install a level floor at the appropriate height, Rick topped the sub-​floor with another layer of plywood, followed by a layer of sheet rock, and then two layers of leveling compound!
As floor layers and grout were drying in the kitchen, Rick installed a small porcelain tile bathroom floor. In keeping with his attention to detail, he did a superb job of laying out the tiles aesthetically. Using Fusion Pro with this tile, as recommended by the tile manufacturer, he showed his range of experience with grout.
Since I’m a neatnik, Rick’s efforts to contain the dust and remove debris each day earned our great appreciation.
Not only was Rick experienced, competent and punctual, but he was a pleasure to work with. A couple of times, at my request, he spoke with our cabinet contractor to coordinate efforts. Even after he had finished the job and I had paid him, Rick returned the morning after I called him to respond to a small oversight that affected the cabinet-maker’s installation of the toe-​kick. No problem.
Rick’s easy laugh was a bonus.

Rick Labat from Labat Custom Tile came out to my house to check out a bathroom tile project. Rick asked me to email him so he could reply the next day with a bid to do the work. I never heard from him again.
