We have done ceramic tile, marble, slate, and granite installations for many Dallas-Ft. Worth Area builders. Some of these include: Shaddock & McNaught And remodels too numerous to mention ... |
Some noteworthy projects I have worked on over the years include:
- Sea World - San Antonio, Texas.... As you enter the park you will see some games ( hopscotch,etc) made of stone and embedded in the sidewalk. I installed several of these, working right through the night before the park opened. The stones are hand-carved from central Mexico. This is pretty interesting: http://www.seaworld.org/
- The Palm Beach Country Club - Palm Beach, Florida.... The Texas Pink Granite used at the Porte Cochere(driveway)had to be installed twice. The day we finished a tropical storm blew in and washed much of our work away. The Italian Travertine on the second floor was installed and then filled with a white cement to give it a sort of polka dot look. The Italian marble stair handrail was partially fabricated in Austin,Tx. It was shipped to the site in 3 foot sections, each section having six seperate parts which we then put together on the job. Three-two man teams took three weeks to install the complete rail.
- Orlando Convention Center - Orlando, Florida
- California State Railroad Museum - Sacramento, California.... I worked on this when I lived in Sacramento. I think I was working for Mc Dermott Tile at the time.
- The Nugget Hotel and Casino - Sparks, Nevada... Worked on one of the add-on phases, third and fourth floors. The owner, John Ascaugua, was a very nice guy. He regularly gave us drink and meal coupons and got me a great price on a room while I worked there.
- Ford Motor Company Test Track and Experimental Lab - Dearborn, Michigan... This was a great job! We got to see a bunch of prototype cars and see them put through their paces on the track. We put seamless epoxy flooring on the lab floors. The materials we used have since been banned by the EPA.
- Detroit to Windsor Tunnel - Detroit, Michigan... I did some repair work in the tunnel. We sprayed epoxy on the walls of the tunnel at 3:00 am. It was a very wierd job, as the tunnel walls leak somewhat and give the appearance of failing.
- The Dallas Cowboy's Valley Ranch - Irving, Texas... I got to do the punch - list for the Cowboys' training facility. Met a bunch of them including Drew Pearson, Randy White, Danny White, Doug Cosby, Tom Landry and a few more.
