"He did an excellent job and it looks very professional. I have no complaints at the moment. He is very kind and has great manners for a young man. I would have given him a 5 but he was short on a couple of parts that he needed. Therefore, I will have to pick them up and call him back."

"They promptly returned our call for service, scheduled an agreeable time to look at our shower floor for an estimate, and efficiently completed the work. Mr. Perkins was friendly and courteous. He and his helper were considerate of our home, cleaned up when finished. Importantly, he used the correct product for our shower floor grout. We had another contractor previously who came 3 times over several months without successfully fixing our problem. Mr. Perkins seemed knowledgeable and skillful. A pleasure to work with."

The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
