“Had our entire master bathroom retiled — floor, shower walls, and a custom niche. CrestLine handled the waterproofing membrane, Schluter trim, and linear drain installation. Every detail was perfect. Worth every penny.”

“Installed subway tile backsplash in our kitchen. Clean lines, good grout work, and they even helped us pick the right grout color. The area behind the stove looks so much better now. Small project but they treated it like a big one.”

“CrestLine installed a stunning subway tile backsplash in our kitchen with a herringbone pattern behind the stove. The grout lines are razor straight. They also tiled our fireplace surround with a beautiful marble-look porcelain. The attention to detail is remarkable.”
