"Great job cleaning and sealing tile floor grout in kitchen and dining room that had not been maintained for years. Good communication. Very professional."
"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 hired them two separate times. They removed our existing tile throughout our home and replaced it with a beautiful wood look porcelain tile. They showed us the different grout options we can use and what would look best with the tile we chose. They also installed a gorgeous stone fireplace."
"Very friendly, informative, imaginative and we have hired Alex to install our tile which will be on 4-14-10. We are sure he will do a good job. The tile looks nice and Tile was installed in one day. Alex is a nice person to deal with"
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).
"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."
"The service went well. They were able to clean the parts of the home I needed cleaned within the 4 hour time frame. Two people came out for the service and brought their own cleaning supplies. The vacuum they did use did not clean the rugs very well. They did have to come out quite a way to get to me so I would not hire them again because of how much the travel fee would be. They did fine work and I had no problem scheduling the service."
Pool remodel costs are pricey, so you want to make sure you do it right. The best pool tile for you is one that looks great and fits your budget. If you have your heart set on a particular tile but can’t afford to tile your whole pool in that style, consider tiling only a small area or portion of your pool with specialty tile.
The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
