A Custom Creation Tile and Stone

Our house is 5 years old, and the builder had installed a pre-​formed white faux stone surround to the fireplace. The mantlepiece was too high and made the ceiling look low. The fireplace was set way off-​center on the wall. The fireplace mantlepiece extended an inch into the TV cabinet grotto, causing them to look crammed together, and the TV cabinet and surround were completely incompatible in style and color. After building our house, I have noticed that Taylor-​Morrison corrected these fireplace design flaws in building our same model home in other homes in our neighborhood. We really disliked that fireplace.
We found a photo of a cool fireplace after looking for over a year, and contacted a contractor who made a very large bid and told us to buy a certain amount of tile. His measurements were wrong, so we would have bought 3 times as much if we had listened to him.
Then we called up Sam Tuttle of Austin We Fix It. He had done an amazing repair/​remodeling job for us in 2015. He gave us a reasonable bid, and together we decided on a design similar to the photo but suited to an off-​center fireplace, since the firebox could not be moved. Sam demolished the old fireplace, framed up the new one and painted afterwards. Although he is an expert tile-​setter himself, Sam’s schedule was already full, so he referred another tile-​setter to us.
Curtis Blodgett of A Custom Creation, met with Sam and us to discuss the project and see our tile. He made recommendations for materials, and then he did an expert and complicated job of measuring and cutting the thick Travertine tile and the copper-​veneered tile and laying it perfectly on the sturdy wooden foundation Sam had built. He helped us choose a compatibly-​colored grout for both types of tile. He tweaked our design for the Travertine and copper tile lay-​outs, and the result looks amazing! He matched tile, so a pattern flows across the face of the fireplace surround, and the grout lines are minuscule and not noticeable. Curtis was assisted by Ricky who was also very capable and shared his work ethic. The project was completed in a week.
The fireplace is beautiful. The ceiling looks higher, the fireplace and TV cabinet are now compatible in color and style and not crammed together, and the off-​center fireplace is balanced now by the extended hearth!
Thank you, Curtis, for a perfect job!

Curtis does excellent work, he comes on time and prepared. He quotes a fair price, unlike other companies that inflate pricing according to zip code.
We could not have been happier. It is clear he takes great pride in his work, we highly recommend Custom Creation Tile and Stone.

First met Curtis when he worked next door, I thought nice guy. Asked my neighbor about the job he did for her, she just loved his work. When we were ready to redo our kitchen we got a estimate from his company and hired them, most of the work came from Curtis he was always very professional but also a very likeable guy. He is very good at what he does, he solves the problems that come up because they always come up in every job, Murphys law you know what I mean. A very patient guy, I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is a great person and a great artist with tile, again I would hire him for my bathroom if he were here!
