Excellent job done! Thanks to Mike and Geno.....very satisfied with my floor and backsplash. They are on-time, clean and professional. Already recommended them to a resident in my complex. Would definitely use them again myself if there is a need!

I recently hired Mike to install 800+ square feet of tiles. He and his helper Gino did an outstanding job. He provided me with accurate estimate on labor and material and stuck to the quoted price. I would highly recommend Mike for tiling job.

They always pick up the phone, they come on time, they do great job and they leave the place sparkling clean when finished - what else would you ask for? And the price was competitive. Five stars.

Continuously showed up late which was an inconvenience to us, did not call to tell us when their people we coming to do the work. Failed to add grout in one corner and failed to properly add putty in space between tile and cabinet.

Response from Company:

At Francel Tile, we take great pride in our communicating with our customers, as can be seen in all of our customers reviews. Unfortunately, she did not let us know that there was any minor flaw in our job.We even called her after reading this rating to come and fix it and she was embarrassed and hung up. Francel Tile wants to make the customer happy and will ask if anything needs to be fixed. She decided not communicate with Francel Tile. When it comes to "showing up" to her home, we tell our customers when we are coming because and we want to get the job done right.

Mike's bid was the most comprehensive and done line item by line item so you know, up front, exactly what the costs are for labor vs materials. He was very easy to work with and understood my project. His installation was excellent, however, clean-up of "outside" premises could be improved upon. With more detail to clean-up, I would definitely rate Francel Tiel as 5-star. All in all, Mike was pleasant to work with and I have recommended him to one of my neighbors who needs similar tile work.

The work they did was very good and our bathroom is now what we want it to be.

Mr. Francel pays attention to detail and has a nice eye for making a pleasing layout for the focal points of a room. I will definitely recommend him to others and use his services again myself when another tile project is due. He is very personable and shares his ideas for making his tile work its best from a design standpoint and with cost consciousness - right down to the choice of grout color and effective use of materials.

We thought all we needed was some tile laid for a handicap shower. He educated us about all the modifications the bathroom needed including framing, drywall concrete and electrical work. Michael provided us with the other people needed to complete the job. He coordinated with the other companies and the entire job was finished in the one week time period he promised. There was some rework needed and Michael made sure the work was completed to our satisfaction. We priced the tile and Michael was able to purchase the correct amount of tile for $300.00 less than we expected. His tile work was perfect! The shower and floor were perfect.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
