"From consultation to installation, sales to labor- K&M Floors performed with knowledge and professionalism while we had the carpets on two stairways and two levels replaced. Chase was personable and delightful to work with in choosing which products would work best in our family home- and the carpets have stood up to the wear of pets and kids in our crazy-busy household. Installation was quick and clean, with the installers taking great care of our property and cleanup after the one day (only one day!) install. We have every intention of using K&M Floors again, as we plan for hardwood floor refinishing and banisters in the near future. I would highly recommend this company over all others we have called upon in the 20+ years we have owned homes in this area of Georgia."

"Larissa and Gabriela ware FANTASTIC to work with. They were extremely responsive (including over the weekends) and so respectful with timing. We had an expedited timeline and they were able to get it done even sooner than promised. The pricing was very competitive ( $4k better than both estimates received). Also, they offered to come back to our home multiple times after the initial estimate to make modifications and to spray paint out lines so we could visualize the future color of the deck and the new deck There were no surprises or annoyances in the entire process."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.
Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.
Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that’s also low-maintenance—you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it’s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.
You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.
Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
