No Shortcuts. Ever.
If it can be done right, we do it right. Every time. That is not a slogan — it is how Adriano has worked for 34 years, and why clients come back for their second, third, and fourth homes.
Personally Supervised
Adriano is present on every job. You hired him — he is the one who shows up. He doesn’t hand your project off and disappear. He is there from the first cut to the final grout line.
Your Deadline Is a Commitment
Multiple clients report Adriano finishing ahead of schedule. He has come in on Saturdays, close to Christmas, to deliver on his word. A deadline is not an estimate — it is a promise.
Clean Home, Every Day
When the crew leaves each day, so does every trace of the work. No dust, no debris, no mess. Your home is treated with the same respect as Adriano’s own. Clients say it consistently.
01
Bathroom Remodeling
“We picked out the materials and said: okay, Adriano — make it beautiful. Just turned him loose. And this is what we got. Absolutely gorgeous.”
A bathroom remodel is one of the most personal, and most technically demanding, tile projects in any home. Adriano has remodeled hundreds of bathrooms across Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, and the entire Upstate — from simple tub-to-shower conversions to full luxury master bath builds with custom marble, mosaic features, and zero-entry showers.
He takes a hands-on approach from day one: measuring, planning every cut, selecting materials with you, and executing with the precision of someone who learned this trade from his father in Brazil and has been perfecting it for over 34 years.
Custom Bathroom Remodel
“Adriano is a one in a million professional. When the stars align and you find an Adriano, you have your forever contractor. He is professional in his work and communication, intentional in his craft, and exceptional in his character. We were a little sad to see them go.”
Lori Bayne — Real Estate Professional

“We have completed two bathroom renovations with him and the tile work is incredibly impressive, even though we chose incredibly difficult tile to install. He thinks outside of the box about little details we don’t even think of. Planning on using him for the third bathroom too.”

Kitchen Backsplash & Flooring
“Stacked stone is one of the more difficult backsplashes to put in — it requires very good craftsmanship and a good eye to make sure it all comes together. Adriano was fantastic in helping us through that process. I’ve already recommended him. Happy to do that via personal phone call.”
Andrew — Homeowner, Greenville

“She has installed tile in three of our homes — shower, kitchen backsplash, kitchen floor, bathroom floor, laundry room floor, and patio floor. Every project done with precision and care. His professionalism and genuine commitment to quality are unmatched.”

Kitchen Backsplash & Flooring
“Multiple design consultants independently listed Adriano as one of the best installers available.” — Alton Whitley, Greenville (Google Review)
The kitchen backsplash is no longer just protection — it is the focal point of the entire room. Adriano specializes in the most demanding installations: stacked stone, herringbone,onyx, diagonal patterns, and intricate designs that require both technical mastery and an artist’s eye.
He visits tile showrooms with clients, offers honest design advice, and executes with the kind of precision where clients say the cuts are so clean they don’t need baseboard trim to hide the edges. Kitchen floors receive the same treatment — leveled, properly set, and built to last decades.
03
Custom Floor Installation
“We had a very uneven floor — so much so that we were told the only flooring option was vinyl. We called Adriano desperate for nice porcelain tile. The end result is stunning.” — Joanna Giforos
Many of Greenville’s homes are older — built on crawl spaces, settling concrete, or uneven slabs where no two points are at the same level. Other installers walk away from these jobs. Adriano walks in and gets to work. He has the tools, the experience, and the technique to float, level, and prepare any subfloor to achieve a perfectly smooth, lasting tile installation.
Whether it is a single room, an entire house, a finished basement, or a commercial space — the result is always the same: you cannot tell there was ever a problem underneath.
Custom Floor Installation
“The crawl space made the floor uneven in different places. I don’t know exactly how he did it with the DuraRock and thinset, but he made it look smooth all the way across. It looks a lot better in the kitchen — gorgeous. Really beautiful.”
Carl — Homeowner, Greenville SC

“We had a very challenging situation — severely sloped floors from a prior foundation issue — and he took it on with professionalism and humility. He comes to work with a smile on his face, a positive attitude, and the eye of an artist.”

“This floor was done on a diagonal — 18 by 18 ceramic, numerous angles, numerous technical cuts. It would have taken me a couple months. We knocked it out in a week. And the cuts were so right on, we didn’t even need baseboard trim to hide the edges.”
Jim — Homeowner, Greenville SC

Carrara Marble Shower
“We picked out the materials and said: okay, Adriano — make it beautiful. Just turned him loose. This is what we got — absolutely gorgeous. He was even smart enough to leave two tiles removable over the jacuzzi motor, so we’d never have to tear up the marble to service it. That’s where 34 years of experience comes in very handy.”

Custom Travertine & Marble Master Bathroom · Video Testimonial
“I needed an artisan who could take a design I had envisioned and make it a reality. Adriano exceeded every expectation. He improved upon the design and even added marble as an accent where tile would normally be placed — to give it extra sparkle. I will soon call him again to do work at my home and our other offices.”

“Adriano remodeled two bathrooms, including expanding the master by removing three walls. He listened to our ideas and customized our bathrooms the way we wanted. He also had excellent input on the look and feel. We went above and beyond the call of duty to create what we wanted.”

Marble & Stone
“When you need tile work that is way beyond the ordinary, call Adriano and his team. They are master craftsmen and you will be very, very happy.” — The Woods Law Firm, Greenville
Natural marble and travertine demand a different level of skill — in cutting, setting, sealing, and design. Adriano has worked with high-end homes, executive offices, and luxury spaces across the Upstate, installing travertine floors, marble shower surrounds, custom jacuzzi tiling, and one-of-a-kind mosaic features that become the focal point of every room they inhabit.
He thinks ahead. On one travertine jacuzzi installation, he deliberately left two tiles removable so the homeowners could access the motor — without tearing up the marble — if they ever needed service. That’s the kind of craftsman Adriano is.
05
Tile Repair
“He quickly diagnosed and fixed several underlying issues left behind by the original builder’s installation. His attention to detail and technical knowledge saved us from future headaches.” — Ronald Barry
Bad tile work doesn’t just look wrong — it fails. Water gets behind the wall. Grout cracks. Tile pops up. And the real cost comes later, when what should have been a simple repair becomes a full demolition. Adriano has spent decades fixing other people’s mistakes — and every single time, he identifies what went wrong at the root and fixes it properly.
He tells you honestly what he finds — before, during, and after. No surprises, no hidden costs, no disappearing when problems emerge. If a problem is discovered mid-project, he addresses it openly and professionally.
“We had a very difficult situation with a previous bathroom remodel and he helped us sort through options in a clear manner. He does not take shortcuts — which usually results in issues for the customer. He always does quality work and makes sure the customer is happy.”

“We had several tile problems and he was able to fix them. He made it level from one end to the other — you can’t tell there’s a different floor underneath the tile. It looks very smooth all the way across.”

Commercial Work
“He was able to interpret the prints and do the tile work without a bunch of supervision. He was able to get it done on time and stay in front of my other subs — highly recommend. A real team player.” — Commercial Contractor, QuikTrip Job, Moore SC
Adriano has completed large-scale commercial tile projects including a 7,000+ square foot QuikTrip gas station installation — floors, walls, complete — under tight schedule pressure and with multiple subcontractors operating simultaneously. He can read prints, work independently, and deliver without the constant oversight other installers require.
His commercial work is characterized by the same professionalism as his residential: on time, clean, and precise. General contractors and project supervisors don’t have to follow up with Adriano — he follows up with them.
“Adriano really came through for us on a very difficult job. We had the worst of both worlds — a short time schedule and very detailed tile work. He was able to interpret the prints and do the tile work without supervision. He got it done on time and stayed in front of my other subs. We had just one item for him to come back on his punch list — and he got there right away.”

Beyond the Basics
Specialty Capabilities That Set Adriano Apart
Jobs Other Installers Refused
Severely uneven floors. Crawl spaces. Sloped foundations. Highly complex diagonal patterns with hundreds of technical cuts. When another contractor told a client their only option was vinyl — Adriano gave them stunning porcelain tile.
“We had several contractors come in and simply tell us they couldn’t do this. Adriano comes walking in and before I know it, it’s done and it’s beautiful.”
— Video Testimonial Client, Greenville SC
Design Eye & Creative Input
Adriano does not just install — he designs alongside you. He suggests layout changes, material combinations, accent placement, and pattern breaks that clients hadn’t thought of — and consistently, those suggestions become the favorite parts of the finished space.
“Interactive design on the fly created a better end product than we first set out to do. Highly recommend you talk with Adriano on your next project.”
— Dennis Z · Google Review
Works While You’re Away
Multiple clients have trusted Adriano with their house keys while traveling overseas. He has completed jobs — beautifully — while homeowners were out of the country. That level of trust is not given. It is earned over 34 years of consistent, honest work.
“I trusted Adriano with the key to the house while I was out of the country. Everything was done. Very clean and neat — no dust on the floors, everything put away.”
— Carl, Greenville SC · Video Testimonial
Goes the Extra Mile
When a U.S. veteran serving in Afghanistan reached out, Adriano drove to Newberry — outside his normal service area — without hesitation. He came in on Saturdays near Christmas to meet a deadline. He squeezed in urgent jobs for clients in a bind.
“He normally doesn’t come out this far — but due to the fact that I was working in Afghanistan, he said no problem. That makes me feel great.”
— David Winder, U.S. Army Veteran · Video Testimonial
Older Homes & Tricky Spaces
Older Greenville homes built in the 1950s–1980s have settled, shifted, and aged in ways that challenge standard installations. Adriano has made dozens of these homes look brand new — compensating for every quirk of old construction without cutting corners.
“He’s able to compensate in older houses to make things look new. This house was built in 1971 and nothing was very level — and it looks gorgeous.”
— Carl, Greenville SC · Video Testimonial
Fireplace & Specialty Surfaces
Adriano’s work extends to fireplace surrounds, hearth tile, outdoor patios, laundry rooms, entryways, and executive offices. Any surface that calls for tile or stone — he does it with the same standards he brings to every bathroom and kitchen.
“My fireplace was ready to show off for Christmas. I’m already planning another project and there’s no question about who I will call.”
