"When asked to match a price they did but in the end they shorted me a cabinet and made me pay extra for backsplash on upstairs kitchen, The downstairs kitchenette design had the sink was to large and did not allow for a silverware draw even after getting a smaller fridge and dishwasher. The downstairs bathroom vanity had the wrong color sink installed and it was like pulling teeth to get them to install the correct one. 6 months after the correct sink was installed it is coming loose and after several attempts to contact them I still can't get the out to fix it or several other problems that need correcting. Overall there was no respect for me or my new home (tracking mud ever were on several occasions) I got screwed on my price match and had to pay extra to get the job completed, Even now when trying to get things fixed that wasn't done properly they respond but only tell you what you want to hear but never do as they say. They still have not been out to make the repairs needed for there work and I will have to get another company out to do the repairs and even more expense to me. Beware of this company."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts

Tile flooring will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even up to 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance.

You can help your tile floor achieve a longer lifespan by maintaining it properly. This includes cleaning it regularly (including cleaning the tile floor grout), keeping the floor dry, and not setting super heavy items on it to keep it from cracking. You'll also want to regrout your tile floor every 10 years. Using a grout sealer will help your floor last longer.

The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot, which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot, which is about the same as porcelain.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

You can purchase natural stone tiles from your local home improvement store or stone distributor.

Simply put, natural stone flooring is a high-end style that outlasts its wood and carpet counterparts. After finding a style you love, a stone flooring company near you can help source and install them for a reliably clean look.

Natural stone tiles are durable, heat-resistant, and add timeless elegance to floors, walls, and countertops.
