I saw him in the hardware store this weekend and told him he was getting props on Texags. He said to tell you guys thanks for the recommendations.

Quote came in. Very reasonable.

Now a tougher question.
Where is a good place to find tile. Box stores have A good selection, but are there any surplus places that we should check out for a good deal?

There is a Surplus Warehouse in Temple that used to have good prices. Not sure if they still do or not.

It is over by the VA Hospital

I'm glad that it looks to be working out for you.

I'm hesitant to offer advice on services like this because people's expectations can be so different, what is great for one person isn't for someone else.

But, Josh is a great guy and I have little doubt about his abilities.

So far so good. I've sent him some follow up questions an by no means are we anywhere near settling on a contract, but I think his initial bid is very reasonable.
Side bar: other contractors have been coming in very high, and my research was telling me to dig deeper. I'm no against a guy making some coin on me, that's only fair but the guys I've had out before thought I was an idiot noob and had no concept of how to remodel and do construction. Josh seemed to take my input seriously and not just dismiss my vision.

I have Josh coming Monday to start on a project for me as well. He didn't come in with the lowest price, but had the best reputation and recommendations from several others. Looking forward to working with him.

Soulslave-
We've purchased surplus tile at the surplus warehouse on Franklin between the Loop and New Road. It is hit or miss on what they have in stock but their prices were better than most.

We can vouch for Joshua as well. We are kinda biased, since we are related and all... but if I needed something built in Cen-Tex, he's who I'd call.

78.3% of the people north of Elm Mott and south of Hillsboro within 15 miles of the I-35 corridor are related to Josh.

It's not exactly elite company.

BTW, I think we may have met at Menlow Fest 2 years ago.

This is true, EMY.

I believe your stats are correct, EMY. And yes, we met at Menlowfest.

Since we are the out-of-towners, my daughter sincerely thinks our family owns most of the businesses in West due to last name or employee relation.
