If you need further information or cannot reach any of the references provided, call me and I will get you more. I did not give you my husband, Bill Brown for the most current and continuing job for Three Generations Tile as I thought perhaps you would not find it viable since he is my spouse and therefore would not be able to give you a reference that wasn’t biased.
