"These guys are professional, friendly, and take pride in their work. They always ask if we have questions during the installation of the tile & the final outcome of the project is simply awesome. They are no major surprises & the plumber along with the shower door man all stated that Corner Stone took "It to another Level" We have been receiving Complements from everyone all week & we are so pleased that we will hire them for our 2nd & 3rd bathroom remodeling projects. I agreed for Corner Stone to give new clients my cellphone number if they have any questions. Thanks Hector. Glad we meet you & your crew. Humberto Castro Soledad, California"

"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

"I found these guys doing a google search, was looking to break down my old kitchen and re do it with a custom kitchen i had ordered So i called them up and gave them my information and the next day someone came out and took measurements asked me a lot of questions and i felt comfortable with that because this guy he was good at detail and wanted to make my custom kitchen come to life After about an hour or so we agreed on the price and the start day and we was in motion. A couple of days later the men showed up early and started the demo work and by 4pm they was all done. two days later they came back cleaned up a bit took more measurements and started installing the counter, counter top the cabinets and did a custom cabinet for the fridge and stove . they laid the tile, did all the electric and in 2 days i was rocking and rolling with a beautiful new kitchen .. so total it took about 4 days to get everything done, they could of did it in 3 but i had to wait on my custom kitchen stuff to arrive. I would use these guys again for sure."

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

No, painting shower tile doesn’t last and is better reserved as a temporary solution to refreshing the look of old tiles. Shower tile paint may last around one to five years, depending on how well you prep the surface before painting, the type of paint you use, the type of tile in your shower, and how often you use the shower.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.
