"We hired Rekdahl Tile and Stone to install 500 square ft. of tile. Mitch, the owner, did the work. He was meticulous in tile setting. The job turned out beautiful. He cleaned up after the job was complete. He was professional, courteous, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Rekdahl Tile and Stone."

"We are thrilled by the results! Mike and his crew took out 10 boxes of dirt from a hill in our back yard all manually! They then installed a 50 x 4ft retaining wall (fully permitted) on the hill. After that poured a 60 x 10 concrete deck and steps to our new upper deck that now overlooks the pool. They then covered the new wall and existing lower wall with new custom colored stucco. We have now doubled our backyard space and for the first time in 12 years be proud to show off our backyard!

"They demolished my very small outdated and ugly kitchen in the middle of September 2019 and I'm currently waiting for them to repair the recessed lighting that is falling out of the ceiling. I was told that the entire job would take 4 to 5 weeks, and here I am 4 months later, the cabinet maker was hopeless at measuring and the cabinets had to be remade and adjustments and changes made multiple times. I was left with a kitchen close to what I requested, but hate that the changes I had no choice but to accept that were not in the original design. The workmen, installers, electricians and plumbers were awesome, the company itself seemed more interested in other jobs they were doing rather than mine. In the end I'm left with a lot of loose ends they refused to deal with, and currently looking for someone to do what they didnt such as sealing the floor and filling in gaps. Be sure to cross the T's and dot the I's on any contract you sign with this company and make sure to include a completion date. This wasnt what I was expecting when I was spending $50k plus on a dream kitchen."
Completely renovating both the guest and master bathrooms. In the master bathroom, we're installing a spacious walk-in shower featuring dual black-finished shower heads, elegant floating benches, and marble wall tiles. Meanwhile, the guest bathroom will have a sleek built-in tub and stylish hexagon tiles.
This project involved adding a new master bathroom to the existing house. The shower features sleek white subway tiles complemented by striking black fixtures and shower door hardware. The bathroom floor is adorned with elegant white marble tiles, providing a seamless and luxurious finish. A white shaker vanity topped with a white marble countertop completes the space, creating a clean and sophisticated look.

"Our project isn't actually 100% complete yet but all that is left are a few minor touch ups. And that's exactly what I want to mention here. remodels done while you are living in the house are invasive and can be overwhelming at times. Sean and Natalie made it as painless as possible. When you reach a point where it's nearly done, there are always tiny details and minor touch-ups to be handled. These folks have made it quite clear that the job is not done until I'm completely happy and every nit I can pick has been exterminated. They will bring back the carpenter, painter, whateverâ even after the Andy Gump has been hauled away and the protective paper taken up off the floor in adjacent areas, if something is foundâ maybe months later, there is no worry about Sean and Natalie standing by their work and doing whatever is needed. Their work ethic and trustworthiness is phenomenal. And let me just mention their tile workâ  GORGEOUS! In our tiny bathroom they relocated the toilet to the other side of the room, removed the old 1942 tub and put in a marvelous shower with a low curb and grab bars, floating vanity, gorgeous glass vessel sink and even replaced the window and put in a larger door for easier access. The bathroom is now much better laid out and feels twice the size even though it's exactly the same dimensions. Best part is, there is practically nothing these folks can't do. So when it comes time to do our driveway, roof, add on a room or convert our garage to guest house or apartment, they can handle everything. Their name says "Property Services" and they really can handle anything your property needs. So far, everything I've been able to compare quotes on has been very competitive too so you won't pay extra for having a one-stop shop. I really like these folks and look forward to a long relationship with them."

"Sean and Kathy Guzman of San Andres Hardware came to my house today and installed a cabinet to put my modems and CPU in. Not only did they install the cabinet but they re-hooked up all the cables once they did. I was so glad they came. In addition to the cabinet I had them install a towel bar. They were on time, very professional, personable & knowledgeable and I DEFINITELY will call them for additional things I need done. I HIGHLY recommend them..... :-) If I could show you a before and after picture I would. BIG difference."

"Victor sent out Nicolas and his brother to do the tile installation. They did an excellent job and cut intricate shapes into the tile to fit around door jambs and the toilet flange. I think someone else would have just put a grout line there. Charged a reasonable fee to remove and replace the toilet. Cleaned up after the job, I even saw them vacuuming an area where they didn't do any work! Victor was patient with me as I had to postpone the job three times because my other contractor didn't finish when he said he would. Would definitely hire them again."

"We recently remodeled our bathroom with McCormick, and it was a fantastic experience. Khaled was informative, patient, and genuinely helpful, guiding us through choices for a perfect design. The team’s professionalism showed in their punctuality and quality. Every aspect was done with care, from tile placement to lighting. The transformation is truly impressive; the bathroom now feels open and luxurious. We’re beyond pleased with the result and look forward to more projects with them."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.

Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.

Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can paint the original tile to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.

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.
