🎉 Congratulations to Adrian Uratu — CTI #2079! 🎉
Adrian has officially earned his Certified Tile Installer credential, demonstrating the knowledge, skill, and attention to detail that quality tile installation requires. 👏
🔢 Fun #2079 fact: 2079 is divisible by 3 — and in tile, good things tend to come in threes too: prep, layout, and installation. Get those right, and you are on your way to a job well done. 😄
Congratulations, Adrian, and welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Matt Pokusa — CTI #2090! 🎉
Matt has officially earned his Certified Tile Installer credential, demonstrating the skill, knowledge, and attention to detail that quality tile installation requires. 👏
🔢 Fun #2090 fact: 2,090 minutes is just under 35 hours — which sounds like plenty of time to finish a tile job… right up until someone adds a niche, a pattern change, and “just one little accent wall.” 😄
Congratulations, Matt, and welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Tony DePalma — CTI #2089! 🎉
Tony has officially earned his Certified Tile Installer credential, demonstrating the skill, knowledge, and attention to detail that quality tile installation requires. 👏
🔢 Fun #2089 fact: 2089 is a prime number — it cannot be divided evenly by anything other than 1 and itself. Kind of fitting for a CTI: one of a kind and no cutting corners! 😉🔨
Congratulations, Tony, and welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Jose Manuel Gonzalez Olmos — CTI #2088! 🎉
Jose has officially earned his Certified Tile Installer credential, demonstrating the skill, knowledge, and attention to detail that quality tile installation demands. 👏
🔢 Fun #2088 tile fact: Grab 58 classic 6" × 6" tiles and you have exactly 2,088 square inches of tile! Now that is a CTI number that actually measures up. 😄📐
Congratulations, Jose, and welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Everson G. Mayen Ramirez — CTI #2087! 🎉
Everson has officially earned the title of Certified Tile Installer, demonstrating his skill, knowledge, and commitment to quality tile installation. 👏
🔢 Fun #2087 fact: If you laid 2,087 12-inch tiles end to end, they would stretch 2,087 feet — just under 4/10 of a mile! That is a serious tile run! 😄
Congratulations, Everson, and welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Jerman Gonzalez Rodriquez — Certified Tile Installer #2086! 🎉
Jerman has officially earned his CTI certification and joined the growing ranks of installers committed to skill, craftsmanship, and quality tile installation. 👏🔨
🔢 Fun tile fact for #2086: If you installed 2,086 standard 6" x 6" tiles, they would cover more than 521 square feet — before you even start counting grout joints!
Congratulations, Jerman! Welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Sergio Gonzalez — Certified Tile Installer #2085! 🎉
Sergio has officially earned his CTI certification and joined the growing group of installers dedicated to skill, craftsmanship, and doing tile the right way. 👏🔨
🔢 Fun tile fact for #2085: 2,085 tiles can be laid out in 15 perfectly even rows of 139 tiles with not a single tile left over. Now that is a layout any tile installer can appreciate! 😄
Congratulations, Sergio! Welcome to the CTI family! 🏆

🎉 Congratulations to Vincent Sarment — Certified Tile Installer #2084! 🎉
Vincent has officially earned his CTI certification and joined the growing group of installers committed to skill, craftsmanship, and doing tile the right way. 👏🔨
🔢 Fun fact for #2084: Even if an installer could set one tile every 30 seconds, setting 2,084 tiles would still take more than 17 hours nonstop — and that does not include layout, cuts, mortar, grout, or cleanup! 😄
Congratulations, Vincent! Welcome to the CTI family! 🏆
