"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."
"It went very well. The first day they removed the original cabinets and counters, then the next four days they were working hard installing everything."
"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."
Yes, construction materials like tile, lumber, drywall, and hardware can be disposed of in a dumpster, just not in your regular garbage. As you’re planning your project, just make sure to rent the correct size of dumpster based on the scope of your needs and be aware of weight limits. Tile weighs a lot (along with other construction materials), and your costs could increase if you exceed the weight limit in your contract with the dumpster provider.
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.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.
Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
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).
Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
