"At first, we thought that they were just going to repair the existing wood floor, but after talking to the owner, he said that there was a room that had to be replaced entirely because the planks were in very bad conditions. They got us a great price on the new Oak floor and store it in their warehouse until it was ready to be installed. We thought the process was going to be messy but it was not! They handled everything very carefully, protected our furniture, and vacuumed the area after they sanded the floors, which is pretty much the hardest part. We did a natural refinishing, no color change because we love the natural look of our White Oak Floor. It’s has been amazing to hear all the compliments our floors get from friends and family. Wonderful people to work with. Very friendly and affordable."
"Dean installed our new tile backsplash and we couldn't be happier. He and his wife Vanessa were very friendly and professional. It was a quick and easy process. He did great and clean work. 10 out of 10 would recommend! We will be having DVS back for more projects I'm the future!"
"We have a gem here. Yes, I will call him again. Yes, I will refer him to my friends. Professional, friendly and reasonably priced. Let's face it--good help is hard to find, and I had a list of small projects that, generally speaking, no one wants to bother with, including me. So when Larry answered the call and took care of my list right away, and in such a thorough and professional manner, I was beyond impressed. He is the first person I will call for my next, much bigger, project."
"We redesigned our whole kitchen with Total Kitchens Group and could not be any happier! David walked us through the process helping us with all the aspects to make our kitchen custom including helping us choose the most perfect granite for countertops. Additionally, he helped us get the best deal for the products we want and set up the order exactly as we requested. The install process was fast and the outcome is amazing. I have not noticed any imperfections or anything I would have done differently. EVERYTHING was OUTSTANDING from start to finish!"
"They are the best house cleaners I have ever used and I plan to continue doing business with them. Worry free hassle free and my house has never looked and felt better!"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.
Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.
There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.
You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire.
Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.
