I was at the Smith Center a week before Christmas and it is absolutely stunning.  The stone work throughout the interior is truly spectacular.

 I wanted to take a minute to let you know how happy I am with the performance of Superior Tile on this long and trying project.  The quality of your work and the professionalism of your team is greatly appreciated and should be recognized.  The cut-in of the granite ADA striping on the exterior stairs, the correction of the Sidley Austin lobby on the 20th floor and the leveling of the Cal St ADA entrance were all extremely precise and difficult projects that your team completed to near perfection.  Your stonework is some of the best work I’ve seen in my 20 yrs of contracting experience (including Chicago, NYC and SF).  Special recognition should be given to the following members of your team:  Gerry – Hands down, the best stone mason west of the Mississippi and the principal reason for the success of these projects. Thank you for your attention to design intent, quality of work and providing a finished product that exceeds expectations.  Tim – Extremely accommodating and honest. Thank you for being a voice reason (when needed) and for following through on your commitments to manpower & scheduling.  Tom – From start to finish you have provided accurate and fair pricing, worked with us to vet out the most optimal solutions given our budget constraints and have shown extreme patience throughout the process. Thank you for your help and partnership in seeing this project through to completion.

I greatly appreciate the efforts and patience of the entire Superior team throughout this project.

5440 Patrick Henry

I wanted to reach out to you and Superior Tile and pass our clients comments about the tile work at 5440 Patrick Henry.  The client was extremely impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail.  The job looks great!  The representative form D.E.S. Architecture said it was one of the best tile installs he had ever seen.  They are a pretty big architecture firm and I am sure he has seen a lot of tile installs so for him to say that it means a lot.

I thought it looked pretty darn good, but when they made those comments I looked even harder to see if there was anything out of place.  I couldn’t find anything.  It really does look perfect!  Thank your crew and Danny Wilcox for us.  We are only as good as our subcontractors and when you do your job well it makes us look good.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

Pacific Union Club

Mr. Conner:

We have not met but my name is Mike Fraley and I manage field operations for BCCI.  As you may know, we are in the final stages of a very high profile and difficult project.  BCCI and Superior Tile have just finished the most extensive remodeling project in 100 years at the Pacific Union Club at the top of California Street.  As you might imagine, the logistics were very challenging as was the constantly changing scope and schedule.

I wanted to take a moment to thank your entire team on the level of professionalism and quality that your firm provided to our project.  I know that there were extreme staffing challenges throughout the project and Tim Walker and Fred Steed worked with us to provide the staff needed to complete this very important project.

Please accept BCCI’s sincere gratitude on a job well done.
