BGB Ceramic Tile Specialists Inc. showcases craftsmanship at the Delaware Air National Guard

TCAA is proud to showcase the recent work of Trowel of Excellence member B.G.B. Ceramic Tile Specialists Inc. at the Delaware Air National Guard, where their skilled crews delivered a high-quality tile installation across multiple areas. The project included approximately 4,900 sq. ft. of 6"x6" ceramic wall tile, 2,100 sq. ft. of 12"x24" floor tile, and 2,100 sq. ft. of 6"x6" quarry tile and base, along with 90 sticks of Dilex complete with inside, outside, and vertical corners. B.G.B. also completed 1,900 sq. ft. of mud wall over block walls for the 6"x6" wall tile. All showers and floor tile areas were waterproofed with Custom Building Products’ RedGard, and all setting materials were supplied by Custom Building Products—special thanks to representative Pete Francaviglia for his generosity and support.

John Buchanan shared that the success on this project was made possible by the hard work of the talented team members Fred Martinez, Chris Campana, Jake Dalton, Dustin Bartsch, Robby Whipple, Dustin Shaner, Tom Dana, Eddie Vought, Mike Grosseblbl, and Rizzo foreman Mr. Ed Dalton (recently retired). Since 2002, BGB has been providing prompt, professional tile contracting services to general contractors large and small throughout the Greater Wilmington, Delaware area, Salem, New Jersey, Chestertown, Maryland, and as far south as Dover Air Force Base. We remain committed to staying ahead in the tile industry by embracing the latest innovations, following evolving trends, and preserving the craftsmanship of traditional installation techniques.
