"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
It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space.
While tile is the best option in the bathtub, don’t forget to consider the flooring around the wash station. Moisture-holding carpet is a no-no, but is tile or vinyl better for dogs? Tile flooring is tough, moisture-resistant, cool, and scratch-proof. However, it’s more tricky to install and costs more than vinyl flooring. If you opt for vinyl, select tough luxury vinyl flooring; otherwise, canine claws could quickly damage the surface of standard, budget vinyl.
If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.
You can often find many types of peel and stick tile at big-box home improvement stores. Other places to shop for this type of material include home decor websites, other types of big-box stores, and even directly from the manufacturer. It’s a good idea to order a tile sample first to see how you like the look and feel before installing it.
Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
