Here is what people have to say about Jo Bauen Tile:
I loved working with and planning with Jo–she was completely professional, knew other collateral professionals, worked quickly, adapted to my quirkiness, didn’t charge very much. –Carla Haimowitz, Oakland
I met Jo Bauen by chance. She tiled the bathrooms of two close friends. Beautifully done.It came to me that I should hire an ARTIST/tiler for my small shower (new construction). I really needed help on ideas. I wanted white tile but so many choices. Jo and I talked of my overall vision. She then l showed me samples. I felt she quickly knew what I was aiming for—light and warmth of color and texture. The floor (pan) has river stones. My mind takes me to my favorite river bed. Efficient, reasonable. I look forward to another project with her. –Mary Tansey, OaklandI had a house number/address mosaic completed by Jo Bauen in April 2011 . I think the mosaic is stunning & Jo was very easy to work with. I mentioned my interest in a local creek & she came up with a design that incorporated the creek motif into the design. She came over two or three times with design & glass samples to make sure I was happy w/ the design, types of glass & colors, etc.–Laurie Umeh, Oakland
We hired Jo Bauen to replace a poorly designed front walkway at our home. She did a beautiful job of designing and installing rectangular travertine tile accented by a decorative glass tile river. She was efficient, charged reasonable rates and a pleasure to work with. Now I enter and exit my front door with a smile on my face. I highly recommend her for any indoor or outdoor tile installation work.–Laura McAmis, OaklandJo Bauen is a tile magician and I heartily recommend her. She possesses a winning combination of knowledge, skill and willingness to help. Jo restored the beauty of our 20′s era tile shower by cutting and fitting tiles to fill unsightly gaps created by the removal of an old glass shower door. The gaps really detracted from the unique tiling in our vintage bathroom, and Jo found a great solution and fixed the problem quickly and really well. Upon meeting Jo, I was immediately put at ease by her calm nature, through consideration of the issue, clear explanation of her plan and very fair pricing. Her aesthetic sensibility combined with her practical methods made for a perfect solution to the issue in my bathroom. I’m so glad I found her, and I have already recommended her to my neighbor.–Heather Reloj, Oakand
If you’re thinking about getting tile installed, I highly recommend Jo Bauen for the job. She put in both the backsplash and the floor in my kitchen and did a beautiful job on both. Jo possess both creative insight and careful precision in her work. I would not hesitate to hire her again! –Amy Teichman, Berkeley
