"I cannot say enough good things about JT. He was responsive, punctual, and professional. Within an hour of my inquiry he had reached out and set up a time to be there, same day. He walked through my entire house with me and provide input on what I could handle myself, and began on-the-spot repairs during what I thought would just be a consultation. If ever I need work like this done again, JT will be my first call without hesitation. Thank you so much, JT!"

The Mediterranean style is unique in that it’s designed for homes in hotter climates and to maintain a connection with nature. The building materials include stucco siding, clay roofs, and interior tiling with tall ceilings and open floor plans. These all come together to keep the interior cool. The building materials are all natural and tend to have muted earth tones, and the architecture typically allows for easy, open access to the outdoors through large windows and arched doorways. The decor and architecture can range from simple and functional to opulent, depending on the type of Mediterranean home it is.
The lifespan of bathroom tile is 50 or more years, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. Leaving installation to a pro and regularly cleaning, resealing, and regrouting the tile can help lengthen the life of your tile and save you money in repairs and retiling in the long run.
Granite countertops cost an average of $3,250 compared to $2,250 for tile countertops. Granite is also harder to DIY than tile, given its weight and bulk, which increases the overall labor cost of installation. Over time, both types of countertops may need sealing to remain resistant to water, heat, and other common kitchen elements.
Just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should. You can apply new tile over existing tile in a bathroom, but the new tile may not look great if you lay it over worn, cracked, or uneven tiles. The adhesive may not be able to attach the new tile to the old tile properly, and this will add more weight to the drywall.
It takes more time and effort, but removing existing tiles before retiling a bathroom is worth it.
