"EXCELLENT! Max’s Flooring and his crew are true professionals. I used them for installation of a marble backsplash and it came out stunning. They listened to what I requested, were very knowledgeable and experienced, were efficient with time (as well as showed up on time as promised), were neat during the job and cleaned up after themselves. They were very respectful of my home. Max and his crew are hard workers and they take pride in their work. I am totally happy with my new backsplash. I will definitely use them again for future projects. I highly recommend Max’s Flooring."
"Brian contacted me right after I looked for someone on HomeAdvisor. He gave me an estimate over the phone from pictures that I sent him. We had quartz countertops that were installed improperly by someone else. There was a very large crack where two pieces of quartz were joined and had come apart. He does excellent quality work. He cleaned up after and was on-time. I could not have done any better and the finished product is absolutely perfect."
"Munford Handyman Service was able to quickly install the deadbolt on a wood door in less than an hour.

Would recommend for anyone needing to have work done on a door or general carpentry jobs."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
When considering the types of grout for your project, unsanded grout is the best choice for penny tile. Unsanded grout can fit better into narrow spaces, like those between the small penny tiles, and it’s easier to smooth out for a seamless finish. However, if you’re unsure, check with a tile installation pro to determine which grout is best for your specific project.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.
The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
