"What a project. I live in an OLD late 1800s brick masonry home. The home went through a major gut renovation back in the 70s by a previous owner. Before I bought the place a few years ago, it had sat empty for several years, so several things were in disrepair, and it had sustained some damage due to a leaking roof and such.
Contacted Art during Fall of 2014, with agreement to start the work about mid February 2015. I won't get into estimates vs actual, because in all honesty, once the project started I began having them do stuff that I hadn't originally mentioned during the estimation phase.
Mid february arrived and they were ready to roll, but some delays started happening due to late season snow storms. His crew had to travel from Hot Springs to downtown Little Rock every day. Art was very good about communicating days that he could and couldn't get there.
Jason and Blake were the main tradesmen on the job. They did all demo, framing, flooring, structural support, painting, sanding/staining, mortar tucking, and some tiling. Great to work with. Very trustworthy, respectful, and polite. Gave them keys so they could come and go as needed. Communicated very well and were always reachable. I was able to communicate with them directly so Art didn't always have to be a middle man. They did great work and cleaned up messes every day. This was nice because my fiancee and I were living in the house while all of this was going on.
Josh and John were the main guys working on the bathroom and plumbing. Bathroom layout was completely redone. They laid new plumbing for vanity, toilet, and shower. Custom work on almost all of it. Josh was the tile man...custom tile shower pan and walls, and about 75sqft of floored tile. Josh and John were as equally pleasurable to work with as Jason and Blake. 
All the guys had to suffer through me trying to communicate my end vision, which wasn't always clear. This also involved me changing my mind on things a few times, which also caused them to do some re-work. They were very respectful of this, and all were willing to take things day-by-day as decisions needed to be made.
Of course, a project this big can't go perfectly. Overall, it took a bit longer than anticipated. Some of this was self-inflicted by my adding of work or asking for something to be redone. On Art's side, some delays occurred waiting for certain materials that had to be ordered. Also, I think Art got himself spread pretty thin at some point, so there were some gaps in work time that the guys couldn't show. A few other tradesmen came and went throughout the job to help keep progress going, but sometimes this could lead to a little confusion as to what would be getting worked on each day and who would be responsible for what. At one point Art assigned a new tradesman that spent a few days working at the house solo. I wound up having a couple of issues with this individual. I brought these issues to Art's attention and he immediately took care of them by removing this individual from the job and having some of the individual's work repaired on Art's dime. All other tradesmen I had a good experience with.
Art is old school. Don't expect emails and digital copies of bills / receipts for materials. I never had to pay for anything in advance. He would bill me weekly as work was completed. Because he had so many jobs going on and because my job was not "local" for him, there were a few times where we did not get to connect, which meant that I would have two or more weeks worth of invoices to pay when we would finally get to connect. This could sometimes make it difficult to keep tabs on which guys worked what week and about how many hours they were putting in total from a labor perspective. Could also make it difficult to wade through receipts for materials and match them up with which invoice they were charged on. In the end, I trusted that Art and his guys were being honest and had my best interest in mind, as keeping track of all the expenses and paperwork became too cumbersome at some point. If I ever had questions about an invoice, Art was easy to talk to about it.
In the end, I was very pleased overall, and I will definitely use Art again for some upcoming projects. He's one of the few contractors who will always call you back. The majority of his tradesmen did great work and were a pleasure to deal with. I'm just now getting to move everything back into the remodeled spaces, so I have yet to see how all of the new walls, floors, tile, and bath fixtures hold up with every day use, but I know that Art's a good man and will fix anything that might pop up. So far so good.

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.

Tile countertops can last up to 100 years when properly maintained. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most durable types and can last as long as natural stone countertops like granite, marble, and quartz. Tile countertops are much cheaper than natural stone countertops, making them an excellent option for a homeowner with a limited budget.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.

The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.

Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
