"They replaced a 10x30 section of my driveway. It looks great, but the framing did not go all the way down and that allowed cement to ooze out. That was not cleaned up."
"Absolutely phenomenal! Luis and his crew were polite, honest, and professional. My husband and I have never experienced working with a contractor before, so we prayed for God to put the right people in our path, and He answered our prayers tremendously. We were clueless about materials and how much things should cost on average, but Luis guided us step-by-step. He and his crew built a second walk-in closet for our master bedroom. The work looks so professional, it looks as if the closet is a part of the house’s original design, very seamless! Part of our back porch was used for the space, and one of the living room windows had to be removed. We’re still in awe of how it looks like a window was never there! We plan on using BetaPro in the near future, and highly, HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone!!"

"Mr Webb's work is very good and my wife and I are very pleased with his work, cost and work time. We have used Complete Home Repair for several small repairs this year and have always been very pleased. He shows up when he says he will and gets the job done. So when we planned this latest project, we did not hesitate to call them and in fact did not even think about any one else. We have in mind some other projects around here and will certainly call them first. We found Complete Home Repair on Angie's list and have even found others for HVAC etc. "
"Just wow! I could not have hired a better crew. Our house looks amazing. They did such a great job at a reasonable cost, the neighbors hired them too. I can't say enough about these talented guys. They showed up on time, were very professional. They used Behr stain that is warrantied for 25 years. It looks gorgeous.
I look forward to hiring this crew again for future projects. They went above and beyond all expectations. Highly recommend this company. "
"Great. I had this work done just over a year ago (should have submitted review sooner). Estimate. Charlie examined bathroom, had plenty of samples of options to review, and provided firm fixed quote. There were some material issues that I'll note below. At no time did the final cost change. Timeline. Installation began about a month or so after I accepted the quote and paid half down for material. I think Charile was ready in about 2 weeks, but I had business travel. Working together to find a common acceptable period for installation was easy. Installation. The first day Charlie showed up with a crew of 4 to take care of the electrical work (did have another ceiling fan installed) and demolition. Following that, there were 2 full time workers on site. They worked long hours, well over 8 hour days. Normall, the job would have taken about a week. I'll give more detail on the one issue below that drew the task out longer. The guys were good about taking care not to impact the rest of the house (carpet, etc.). After install, they did a good job cleaning up. During the install, there were a few minor options ... how to frame the door, orientation of tile, the color of the tile, etc. The crew provided options and good advice (I'm no kind of interior decorator). The part of the service was excellent. Quality. I have done basic carpentry and electrical work. I believe the quality of the work to be good to excellent, both what you see and what was done "behind the dry wall." The work that you can see is excellent. Material. I was a little worried about the material used for the walls as opposed to tile. I'm pleased to say I'm more than happy with the "acrylic" (I think that's correct) walls as well as base and door. Only issue. The base received was not the correct one. The second base received had a quality issue. They guys pointed this out to me. I'm sure it cost them money out of their pocket / profit to spend the extra time on site. My take away from this was the guys were MY quality advocates and did what was necessary to ensure the highest quality product was used and the job was done right the first time! Things happen. The question is how well does your contractor support you. While I wasn't crazy about the delay (about 3 days, not major for me). I was thrilled the issue was immediately brought to my attention and resolved even though it took extra effort on their part. Overall job outcome. I feel what was quoted was provided. Very satisfied. 1 year review ... I remain satisfied. I have had zero issues. Other than the glass doors (which are famous for requiring cleaning when used for bath doors - this was noted before installation). Is the biggest maintenance job. Caring for the bath itself has required average to minimal effort. Give Dream Bath / Charlie a call before you have your bathroom remodeled! "
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.
Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.
Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.
To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.
The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
