A New Tile Installer in Asheville, NC

I'm excited to announce that we've added a new craftsmen to our network: my neighbor Frank Dapkus.

Frank recently moved to the Asheville area, which is lucky for all of us, because he's an excellent handyman with a wide range of talents. He's also a really nice guy!

One of Frank's talents is tile installation. Check out this shower installation with glass walls and a tiled bench:

I really appreciate his attention to detail: the diagonally-set drain, the perfectly even tiles and smooth grout lines, and the tiled niche in the wall all come together to make a beautiful design.

​Here's the other side of the same room:

The tiled floor has been installed with the same attention to perfection.

Frank is also a talented trim carpenter and cabinet maker. One of my favorite projects of his is this set of handmade cabinet doors:

This cabinet next to a fireplace also caught my eye:

After

What a great way to hide your television! And it looks like it was built with the home, which is one of my criteria for great cabinetry.

When he's not working as a local handyman, Frank spends his free time turning beautiful wooden bowls like these:

I really like the way he uses stain to create bands of color on the outsides of the bowls. He has a nice, subtle aesthetic.

​You can shop for more of these bowls on his website at www.autumnwoodbowls.com.

We're really glad to welcome Frank to our network. If you need someone to install tiles in your Asheville home, please give us a call.
