Rus a great job on my kitchen backsplash. First, he sent me links from his website with more information about things to get done on your kitchen before installing a backsplash, which made me realize I definitely wanted the undercabinet lighting he also offers. I so appreciated this thoughtfulness, and of course it’s an upsell for him. He was great at communicating throughout the entire process and the backsplash looks beautiful. He was also extremely thoughtful about the undercabinet lighting and installed it in a way that doesn’t cause glare on the eyes. The quality of his work, his thoughtfulness, and his proactive communication all make me happy to recommend Rus to others Side-note: Rus was also the only pro who was willing to converse with me using the Thumbtack messaging system rather than phone calls. I’m extremely busy during work hours, so this makes a big difference to me. I can’t answer the phone usually without scheduling well in advance.

Details: Kitchen • Backsplash • 25 - 50 sq ft • Drywall • Ceramic • No, but I will buy the tiles myself

Rus did an excellent job on my kitchen backsplash. He was a professional from the start, texting me back right away and always on time. He made key suggestions to me that turned out to be spot on. He also installed a shower wall that looks great. He had great attention to detail on his work and the backsplash is beautiful. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Rus again.

Rus installed my new microwave and while we originally thought some new tile work would be needed, he was able to do without removing tile. I would definitely recommend Rus. He was very responsive, punctual, and did such a great job. And very reasonable.

We removed the microwave and added a range hood. Russ added more tile to the backsplash and installed the range hood. He was fast, efficient, and very professional. I would definitely recommend.
