Buyer be wary! I hired Ed Shepherd, the owner of WestCoasTile, based on the reviews that were posted on Yelp. At the time I didn't notice that most of the reviews are several years old.
After I waited 4 days for Ed to start my job, he notified me the day he was supposed to start to postpone my start date yet again for another 4 days. Once he finally got started he threatened to quit the first day because I wanted to verify some information with my drywall company before he did tile layout in one of the bathrooms. This would not hinder him getting started in any of the other 4 areas he was supposed to be installing tile in.
Once he arrived on site he started telling me he couldn't do the layout that we had discussed because he would have to make too many cuts to the tiles. He also said he couldn't put the niche that we discussed in the shower wall 'cause he didn't seem to know how to prep and center it. Basically, he was cutting back on the amount of work to be done but offering no reduction in price.
I asked him if there was a possibility of changing the tile direction in the second bathroom from vertical to horizontal before he started that room. He got so angry he left the job and would not respond to my texts or phone calls for the rest of the day. That night he emailed me to tell me he was quitting and keeping the 40% deposit I gave him even though he had only done 15% of the scope of work agreed upon.
Not only did he rip me off but left me in a lurch because I was out of town and he knew my other contractors were waiting on him to get the tile work done so they could proceed with their work.
Good luck to anyone that would be foolish enough to give Ed a deposit up front to "get the job started". What a waste of time and money!!!
