"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

Tiling over your existing backsplash is possible with the right materials and preparation. To do this, the existing backsplash must be clean and free of damage. If you’re installing the new tiles with thinset mortar, the thinset will fill in the existing grout lines as you go, so there won’t be any low spots. If you’re installing a peel and stick tile backsplash, you’ll need to add grout to the existing grout lines first to create a level surface.

Regular sealing, pH-neutral cleaners, and avoiding acidic substances help maintain their appearance and longevity.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

Slate is pricier than many other flooring materials, but it’s not the most expensive option on the market. For example, at $10 to $16 per square foot, slate flooring costs more than vinyl ($2 to $14 per square foot) and porcelain ($3 to $10 per square foot). However, it’s not quite as expensive as high-end marble flooring, which can cost up to $60 per square foot.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.
