Strusis Tile Installations

Wow, Not happy! I came home from work today to find this contractor, Nick Strusis, blasting our Air Conditioning system without our permission, down to 67° during the most expensive part of the day (5pm, which SCE charges double) And, with the front door wide open! First of all, the AC unit was not even ready to be used yet this year as we needed to buy a new filter and needed to clean the outside of it to be sure theres nothing blocking the fan blades. Second of all, we never use large appliances during peak hours! (Anytime after 4pm) Third, it is just straight up wasteful to be running the AC with the door wide open. And it's too expensive! Everything is these days! And fourth, you didnt ask! We, the owners havent even used the AC so far in 2024. We use it sparingly in mid to late summer when its 90 to 100 outside. I feel very violated! What makes anyone think they have the right to use ANYTHING in someone elses home besides the toilet and the sink unless they have permission. Especially when they are only a worker, hired to do a specific job. We are not required to make a worker comfortably cool at our expense so they dont have to sweat. And to sneak it is pretty shady and is basically stealing! They are not guests staying here and even then guests dont mess with the thermostat. Running the air is the most expensive appliance to use in the whole house. It was only 81 degrees outside today for the high as it is only early May. Which means the house might reach 75°. He said he has been using it sometimes when it is hot. So if he thinks 77° outside is hot, he has been using it every day he worked here which was about 7 or 8 days worth of running the AC behind our backs basically as we allowed them to work in our home while we were at work. They turned it off the other days before we got home so we didnt know they were using it this whole time until the last day they when I got home early. The fees they accumulated for running our AC as they wished are well over $100, which shows on our edison bill the exact days and exact hours the electricity peaked during the times they were here. Who knows what else they used without us knowing? Did they eat our leftovers and drink our favorite tequila too? Possibly. By the way, they DID NOT do a good job on the baseboards. I bought 12 foot pieces so they could be installed as one piece, not to be cut and glued back together in multiple areas. There are ugly cut marks all over them. Not quality work.

Just wanted to share our experience with everyone concerning the tile install Nick, Marina & Jesus did to our bathroom. We are beyond happy with the job and the craftsmanship put into our shower and accent wall! There’s a lot of pride put into their work and I recommend them if you want a professional tile installation! They are courteous about cleaning after each day of work and also trustworthy. Trust me, do not look anywhere else! Call Nick and you won’t be disappointed! I’ve attached some pictures for you to see their work. We are just waiting on the frameless shower doors and that will wrap it all up! Without a doubt, we will be calling Nick back when we are ready to remodel our master bathroom!

Nick and Marina are a fine team. They are a very conscientious team. They tiled a shower for us with good results. We are happy with the results, and the care they took to keep area clean was great. Five stars are well earned. Thank you Strusis Tile. Good chance we will use them in the future and recommend them to others. Thanks again.

Nick was super fast and very efficient. If he ran into a snare he communicated and updated us on everything. When completed we were so happy with his craftsmanship and expert final look of our bathroom. We will be hiring him again soon to do our master bath and kitchen counter and backsplash. Nick does amazing work!

Nick was so accommodating to all our questions. We had no clue what to do and he calmly and patiently helped thru all the decision making. He even went tile shopping with us! His work was impeccable and he finished on time and on budget. I look forward to working with Nick again on our next project!
