I have traveled all over the country installing commercial tile work... I have installed Bath & Body works, Victoria Secrets, Embassy suites, 9 out of the 13 barracks at fort Knox, Jimmy John's, LA fitness, Hampton Bay inns, Burger King's, prison parishes in New Orleans, schools, and I'm very familiar with 3 part epoxy grout. And I know how to clean the tile spotless and absolutely no haze whatsoever.. I also installed tons of Walmarts all over the United States,also the biggest Walmart in the United States which is located in Fort Worth Texas. Me and a helper could do a set of bathrooms at Walmart complete with three part epoxy grout, subway tile, 12 x 24 on the floor, with cove Base, about 3,000 ft in 8 days..I make the people I work for a ton of money including myself. With entirely no headaches..Or loss. And I get everyone paid and the job done before or on time with a happy contractor.. That is the end result. Also installed Residential for 25 years straight from Trump Towers down to the regular Residential home. I am a master Tile mechanic I believe in showroom quality even on commercial jobs The contractor I was a sub under ended up on the preferred contractors list for Walmart. Not being egotistical but I know my knowledge of this business. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
