Mexican Tile Restoration

A  contractor use sticky paper to "protect" my Saltillo tile and when
they removed the paper It took the top layer to the tile off.  I was just
sick.  I found Mexican Tile Restoration on line and called them, they
did an wonderful job. The entire floor looks better now and there is
not a trace of damage left.   I highly recommend this company.

Very disappointed  - we had our floors stripped and sealed- now they are all peeling and look horrible -  we were very careful & only used PH cleaners the company recommended ( so this wouldn't happen) Would not recommend .

Working with Dave Richardson and Mexican Tile Restoration was a pleasure. The company is dependable and each crew did an amazing job from broken tile removal and replacement, stripping to staining and sealing. The attention to detail and the respect shown to our home was impeccable. It is obvious that these people are not only knowledgeable but also love what they do. Our outdated whitewashed Saltillo tile was transformed from dated to stunning. Everyone who has seen it is amazed at the difference. I disliked the former tile so much that I had considered removing it, but now I am so happy that we chose to restore it. The new look has transformed our home into a showplace taking it from blah to ahhhh! Dave's creativity in selecting colors to stain our tiles was well worth the money we spent on this project. Thank you to each one of the artisans who made this project a dream come true!

Dave and his team are superb. I had several of our flooring areas cleaned, restored  and resealed.
The work was prompt, thorough and beautifully done. They are professionals with a deep knowledge of restoring, maintenance and repairing Mexican tile flooring. I would use them again without question!!!

Dave truly approaches his profession as an artist. We interviewed different companies before selecting Dave and Mexican Tile Restoration, and we received exactly the type of service and quality of workmanship that we had hoped for.

Our saltillo tile floors were older and damaged in some spots. We elected to do a very thorough stripping of the floors, recoloring of tiles and grout lines, and then application of several coats of sealer and topcoats. The results are amazing. Our floors are ready for the most discerning guests, and we are confident that they will last for many years to come.

I no longer hate my saltillo tile, thanks to Dave and his crew. In fact, I like it now that it looks the way it's supposed to. Dave is the kind of guy you'd want for a friend and neighbor-- down to earth and helpful. I have no reservations about recommending this company.

Mexican Tile Restoration just finished restoring our 35 year old Mexican Saltillo Tile floor and it looks absolutely amazing!  We could not be happier with the result.

Dave and his team are truly artists and it looks better than when it was first put down.  They stripped the floor the 'old fashioned' way . . . by hand; thus preserving the original character of the tiles.  They then applied hardeners and sealers for a beautiful satin finish.    

We highly recommend to anyone wanting to preserve and restore their Mexican Tile floor to use this company!

This company came across as the answer to all of our problems....$2000 later..... MORE PROBLEMS.  I want to cry problems.  
Our Tile was installed beautifully with the wrong color grout.  We found Mexican Tile Restoration who said they could stain our grout to any color that we wanted.
The day the crew came my husband told Dave (owner) that the floor needed to be  vacuumed  (we have dogs) and even offered to do so himself. Dave assured him that the floor would be thoroughly vacuumed before they stained the grout. The tile would need to be sealed for a final time after they fixed the grout.  My husband has been diligently working on sealing the grout and its been taking forever.  I decide its time I try to help and get things moving a little faster which is very hard when you have a toddler and a baby.  The closer I get to it, the more I realize that this job is a total, complete scam.  There is dog hair woven all through out the "new  grout color".  They did not vacuum.  They did not prep.  I approached my husband and he said that he had gone through all of the emotions I was feeling right now and thats what has been taking him so long.  He was going through and picking out each solitary hair with a knife  before he could lay down the sealer.  Hours and hours of extended prep work to do a normal sealant job.  It would have taken less time to change the grout color ourselves.  When my husband confronted Dave, he said that they vacuumed the floor 3 times before staining the grout. He claimed every time they moved furniture there was more dog hair and they couldn't do anything about it. Keep in mind we only have 2 dogs and they stay in a back room and don't have free run of the house. Also, the pictures taken here are in the hallway and there is absolutely no furniture in the hallway. In addition to the dog hair problems, they were quite sloppy with the grout stain. See this picture where grout joints were completely missed and tiles were "painted" with grout stain (are they drunk?) Overall, Dave is a smooth talker, who talks about how sloppy every other crew is, but in reality him and his crew are just careless slobs as well. I would not recommend this company if you are somebody who cares about detail.

Just found this under media cabinet left by another "Five Star" floor refinisher. Dave's coming back to fix the other guys work that was hidden - no charge. I decided long ago not to tank Mr T just to get him out of my house!  Beware. Ask how big crew is and about water used in the process. You get what you pay for.

The company did a very nice job on our floors.  When finished, you will have the option of paying with a credit card at one price or in cash at a lesser price.  Be sure to inspect all of your electrical that they used when they did the work before paying.  A few days after they left and we were in the process of getting the house back together we had to call in an electrician to repair problems that they caused and did not tell us about.  We have contacted them about this but have heard nothing.

I live in northern Arizona and finding advise to finish my new Saltillo tile floor was difficult for me. But Dave was great in giving me the help I needed to install my new saltilo floor with the finish I was looking for.  He took the time  to explain in detail  everything I needed to know and answered all my questions.  He told me how to keep my floors looking their best for years to come. This company has the knowledge to get the job done right the first time.

They worked on our saltillo tile floors and the result was jaw-dropping amazing!

I am selling my house and needed to get my saltillo tile cleaned up -- it just looked dirty and worn from years of use and lack of maintenance.  I called the number on their web site and Dave, the owner, answered the phone. I scheduled an appointment and he came over to look at the tile, figured what needed to be done, and offered two quotes for two different approaches to getting the work done. Once that was decided, we scheduled the work -- he was available within the week, which was important because we needed it done quickly!

The results were amazing -- our floors were SHINY, they had cleaned the tile and grout,  blended in the colors so they looked more even, filled in and colored portions of tile that were gouged out, filled in some cracks, also evened out the coloring of the grout. It was simply unbelievable!

The guys who worked on our tile also took a lot of pride in their work, and it showed. Before we came back in to see the final results, they said "prepare to get your mind blown!" -- and it was truly mind-blowing!

They also leave you with documented instructions on how to properly care for your saltillo tile. I will be leaving this with the new home owners, along with MTR's contact info.

Thanks to Dave and his team at Mexican Tile Restoration. I highly, highly recommend their services to anyone!

I highly recommend Dave Richardson and his crew for care and restoration of saltillo tile floors. They're punctual, professional, and really know the business. My floors look terrific!

We had finished our floors using sealer from Lowe's or Home Depot (we didn't know how terrible this would be).  The floors looked okay. A year or two later, we hired someone to clean the floors.  The previous gloss/sealer turned into little glue balls all over the floor and our Saltillo was ruined. The other people came out 4 more times to try to fix it but nothing worked.  We hired Mexican Tile Restoration in early 2014 (we checked several references they gave us which were glowing).  Well, I understand the glowing recommendations!  Our Saltillo floor didn't look this good when we moved into the house 12 years ago.  The floors looked brand new.  They also gave us tips for maintaining the floor.  It's about 1.5 years later and our floors still look incredible.
