"Hector was a joy to work with. He ably guided in pick the best tile (we made him order multiple samples) and patiently humored our pickiness, even coming by several times to talk over the best options, before we’d even signed! Throughout the demo, install, and cleanup, he and his small crew was professional and considerate of our family. We even added some work mid-project, and he transparently let us know that would be extra hours, but I’m so glad we did. It looks fantastic."

"He did a very good job.  Be prepared for all of the extra's they will ask for beyond the initial deal.  I will say we have a lot more airflow going through our heater now and the dryer really needed it.  We had two cancellations before they came on the last time.

"Carlos not only removed old carpet but repaired cracks in cement underflooring then did a beautiful job installing the new vinyl plank flooring. And went out of his way to pick up the new flooring and baseboards. Carlos goes out of his way to ensure the job is well done and his customers are happy from start to finish. We are really happy with our new floors and highly recommend Carlos."

Absolute Kitchen & Bath (Tile & Stone) was there for us every step of what turned out to be a much more complicated project than expected--due to water damage detected during the renovation.  To accommodate our emergent needs, Chris adjusted the schedule of his crew of professionals on several occasions.  I believe it is usually the other way around! 


 The end result is beautiful.  The tile "art" in the bathrooms look exactly like the magazine photo I showed Chris.  Actually--better.  Chris and team put in a fixture ordered from Europe (required special tools) which took them hours longer than expected to install (no extra charge).  As for the kitchen--gorgeous work.  We replaced old tile with Silestone--Chris made sure to bolster our cabinets so we could save the expense of replacing.  So patient with us--we must have changed our minds ten times on the material for the backsplash edging.  We basically have a new home--updated and beautiful.  Workmanship = A+.  Professionalism = A+.  Trustworthy =  felt completely comfortable leaving our home to Chris and team while we were not there (most of the time). 

Highly Recommend!!!

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

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.
