"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. He knew how to install the deadbolt, had all the necessary carpenter tools, and he was friendly and professional. Would recommend for anyone needing to have work done on a door or general carpentry jobs."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.
The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic.
For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
Terracotta tile is a broad term for clay tile that’s been fired in a kiln, and Saltillo tile is a specific type of terracotta tile produced in Saltillo, Mexico. In addition to Saltillo, terracotta tile comes in a range of other shades and styles. You’ll often find it used in buildings throughout Mexico, southern Europe, and the western United States.
Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.
