Testimonials

“Collins Tile and Stone saved us from settling for an average kitchen and bar back splash. We had a plan in mind and tile already picked out when we invited Buck Collins over to bid on our project. Buck politely suggested that may be disappointed over time with our selections and offered to set a appointment for us with his designer. That was the turning point in our project. After talking with the designer, Carmen, we hired Collins Tile and Stone to install her beautiful designs.
What Collins Tile and Stone built for us is a little beyond a backsplash -- and little closer to tile art. The cuts and workmanship are excellent and really bring out the textures and variations in the stones. The Collins electrician integrated lighting into the bar cabinets and under the kitchen counters which really bring out the character of the stone and accents. It is eye catching and will be a conversation piece for years to come.
Buck Collins was personally on-site every day of the project. The materials he used were the highest quality -- no cut corners. He communicated everything upfront, was always here when he said he would be, and there were no surprises. Great price. Excellent, honest service. Saved us from settling for average.”    

-A Happy Customer

“Collins Tile and Stone completely remodeled two 50-year-old bathrooms in our Falls Church home.  We were quite impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail.  The tile work is impeccable and the fixtures were properly installed the first time.  Buck took the time to work through the design issues with us and made recommendations but never pushed for fixtures or work we did not want.  His staff is also polite, professional, and easy to work with.  If something was not quite right, it was promptly made right.  The pricing was very competitive and the few “extras” required by unexpected plumbing issues were quickly addressed at a very reasonable cost.  I would not hesitate to use Collins Tile and Stone again or to recommend them to anyone else.”

“I want to thank the Collins Tile and Stone team - you did a great job renovating my very old Arlington bathroom. You took it from 1950's run down room to a beautiful, spa-like bathroom. I really appreciate Carlos' tile work - very professional - both in the bathroom and the sunroom. I've received lots of compliments. Thanks for a job well done.”

“Collins Tile & Stone provides the best overall service we have experienced for home improvements!  Not only did the professionals help us with design and implementation for our difficult projects, they stuck with us through the whole process, from initial consult to final results.  We now have a beautiful bathroom and a warm, clean and cozy family room, with gorgeous heated tile floors and a spanking new fireplace surround.  The workmen were professional, clean, and careful.  These guys can be trusted to execute the most difficult tasks.”

“I wanted to let you know again how much we appreciated your outstanding work in re-building our shower.  Your recommendations were spot on, the workmanship was superb and the results are spectacular.  We are extremely pleased with the new tile, the shower doors and the showerhead fixture.  I like the full flow of water.  More importantly, the quality of materials and labor are rock solid and we know they will last for a long, long time.

It was a pleasure doing business with you and your crew.  You can count on me giving anyone you want my highest recommendation.  Thanks again for a pleasant experience and superior job.”

"Our first encounter with Buck was when we had him come to our home to do an estimate on regrouting the tiles in our Master and Main Bathrooms. On a handshake, it was agreed that Buck and his crew would complete the work. True to his word, Buck and crew showed on the day and time as promised, completed the job in the timeframe promised and did a such a great job cleaning up after themselves, you almost wouldn't know they had been there, except for the beautiful "new" look to the tiles. We were completely satisfied with the quality of the work and the professionalism we experienced with this endeavor.

Buck's work ethics and the results of the work he and his crew had done for us was so impressive, we contacted him again several months later. Once again, on a handshake, we agreed to have them install new tile flooring, vanities, mirrors, toilets and lighting in those same two bathrooms.

Again, true to their word, a very beautiful, professional job was completed as promised."

"Expertise, artistry, a fair price and constant communication are the qualities Collins Tile brings to its work.  As a homeowner, my first question to anyone is would they hire the contractor again.  For Collins Tile, that answer is always, “yes.”  In fact, our job kept growing as I kept asking them to do more.  And yes, I would hire them again and I have my eye on a project for them to do."

"COLLINS TILE AND STONE renovated my fifty-year-old 5’X7’ basement bathroom.  The company exceeded my expectations.  Buck Collins provided me with honest, sound technical advice, and referred me to professionals who were knowledgeable and helpful with design, color, and functionality.  With its more open design and new window, the finished bathroom looks much larger despite the fact that my budget did not allow for expansion.  The combination of ceramic and glass tiles is beautiful.  COLLINS TILE AND STONE did a terrific job widening the doorway and adding grip bars to accommodate special needs.  When they found the unexpected, they actually fixed the problem, rather than ignoring it or quick-patching it, as so many companies like to do.  For fair pricing, quality workmanship, and professional service, I highly recommend COLLINS TILE AND STONE."

"Collins Tile and Stone recently upgraded my two bathrooms.  I am delighted with the results.  Within three days the job was finished with very little interruption to my daily life.  The workmen were polite, efficient, and very neat - - what more could you ask."
- D. Quimper

"Thank you for the great work you and your team did on the two bathrooms you remodeled for us.  The tear out and construction process was much easier than I had expected, after hearing some horror stories from friends and colleagues who used other contractors.  The finished product is beautiful -- wonderful craftsmanship on the tile work as well as the wall and shelves you constructed for us.  The vanity, medicine cabinet and commode installation was also well done.  Plumbing and electrical working great!  You and your guys were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend your outfit to anyone looking for excellent work at a fair price."
