"Luis and his crew did an amazing job. They were very polite, punctual and hard working. Work was completed to our satisfaction and in a timely manner. We had granite installed in 3 bathrooms and our laundry room. Our bathrooms and laundry room look absolutely beautiful! We are very pleased with the work. We have already shared Luis’ contact information with others, and will use his services for another project. Thank you Luis for transforming our bathrooms and laundry room. Your customer satisfaction is to be commended. Looking forward to working with you again. Kathy"

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
"This tiling job was a very positive experience. The customer service was very good and the pprofessionals did a beautiful job of tiling. They were fast, competent, and they also left everything clean when they left. We would definitely use West Coast Flooring again."
"Sarment tile is a family owned company. They are really professional and easy to work with. They correctly estimated the time of the project and kept the project area really clean. I would definitely hire them for future projects."
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).
"These guys are good! They can design a kitchen or you can show them what you want and they'll replicate it. These cabinets are built by hand from bases to doors. Not only do they build beautiful cabinets but they also fabricate countertops. These guys are a one-stop shop General Contractor and as a Contractor, we use them quite frequently."
"Curt did an amazing job on our kitchen backsplash and our vanity. Very professional and friendly. We will be hiring him again to do a tile walk in shower soon."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
In some cases, granite tiles can be installed over existing flooring if the surface is level, stable, and free of moisture issues. However, removing old flooring is often recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation, as well as to avoid height differences at thresholds. Consult with your flooring pro to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.
It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.
Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.
