I attempted to conquer a tile project in my front entryway on my own after viewing one too many You Tube videos. Ha! I called Dario and the job ended up costing less than originally quoted. 5 stars all the way!

We had our master bathroom remodeled by Twice the Measure in November 2013. Dario arrived when he said he would be there. His workers were very polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. His prices were competitve.
