Shawn came highly recommended and lived up to the recommendations. We needed a bathroom remodel to remove a bathtub and replace with a shower so that we could access with a wheelchair. Shawn's team did the job quickly and kept the costs reasonable. Alfonso led the job and was so patient and knowledgeable about finishes and fixtures. I would definitely recommend Tate and Son for your next project!
