Icon Tile

This review is way overdue, but heartfelt a year later. We hired Adam Wilson from Icon Tile for a difficult kitchen tiling job. The job involved removing the remainder of a botched backsplash job (a certain large kitchen company left behind when we parted ways over their incredible incompetency) and convincing a pair of traumatized homeowners that he could do a far better job than the first guys. From literally day one it was obvious to us that Adam was our guy! He spent a lot of time with us planning and designing the job, while enduring our many questions and patiently reassuring us that he would do a professional job. He delivered big time! We couldn't be happier. It was a treat having him in our home each day. Adam is a perfectionist and takes great pride in his work. Once the work started, we relaxed and never once worried that the job wasn't going to come out beautifully. This project was not one for the inexperienced. The particular tiles we chose has different properties that had to be considered in the timing and placement of their installation. Otherwise, there would be slippage and the tiles would not be evenly separated. We had no clue about all of that when we selected the different size/type of tile. We just liked the way the metal and ceramic tiles looked together. Thank goodness Adam knew what to do. Now, a year after the work was completed, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at that backsplash and admire Adam's beautiful work and feel grateful that he was recommended to us (by Meghan Thorne at Arizona Tile). We would hire him again in a nanosecond!

More than just a tile setter, Adam is a creative, type-A tile ARTIST, who can work with any material in any layout. Prior to finding him for our kitchen backsplash, we were feeling pretty cynical about the tile industry, having worked with a few guys on our remodel (3 bathrooms) that left much to be desired (broken tiles, crooked tiles, no spacers, incorrect color grout, bad cuts, no floating, tiling right over crooked walls, overall sloppy work). So when it came to finding Adam, despite the great feedback around town, we were gun shy. Boy, did he restore our faith in the construction industry. Not only did he do his research on the type of tile we had selected, to make sure he was using best practices for that type of material, he and his guys were METICULOUS in the setting. He was able to camouflage some of the wall defects with precision, gave us multiple ideas for grout colors, and even left us with several fully grouted samples on cardboard to debate over, offering to come back and grout another day after we'd decided. In addition, Adam (upon our request) walked the rest of our project and advised us as to what went wrong with our previous tile setting jobs, and what could have been done to prevent all the problems. We originally were just going to live with the poorly done bathrooms, but now seeing the difference between those guys and Icon Tile, we are DEFINITELY re-doing them all. Adam is not only gifted at what he does, he is timely, honest, and so much fun to be around!

Adam Wilson, owner of ICON TILE laid the tile in our bathroom. He was recommended by our neighbors, who had him lay tile throughout their home. He did a beautiful job for them, as well as, in our bathroom. He is a true artist and perfectionist at his craft. When we had a custom glass inclosure made for the shower, the installers asked who did our tile work. They said that he did such a perfect job that it made their job much easier.

Adam the owner of Icon Tile does amazing work. We remodeled our entire house and Adam worked on our master bathroom and our guest bathroom. His work is beyond professional. He definitely knows is craft. His work shows as art. He takes pride in is work and it shows in our bathroom. Adam has a keen eye for tile work. He offered recommendation for the tile layout based on the size of our tile. The lines are even the bathroom inserts are perfectly lined. Icon Tile does astounding work. I would recommend Icon Tile to anyone that needs work done with tile. Adam was easy to work with. He kept his word. He was sick for a few days so he worked over the weekend to keep his time line with us. After the tile was complete, a shower glass company came out and the first comment the installer said was “great tile work.” I’m so happy we went with Icon Tile.

I have retired several homes in the Bay Area and was a bit nervous about new tile professionals in the Sacramento area. ICON tile has done two bathrooms for me, and the third is coming up in a month. ICON understands my designers drawings and manages to perfectly implement the style and projects the tile amounts perfectly! They are professional (Adam!) low key, and deliver on their workmanship, schedule and price!

Adam does a fantastic job. I have known him for years. I am a very picky person and he cleaned up great. His work is over the top. I would recommend him to anyone.
