The original request was to reshape the fireplace. That ended up OK but she wanted to add pieces of tile directly in front of the fireplace. It sounded like a good idea so we agreed but halfway into it it looked awful so we asked her to make it the same as it was. She agreed and then charged us extra to restore it even though that was easier than if she had finished what she was doing. She also said she would get a nice piece of old barn wood for the spot for the TV. She showed up with pieces of lumber she had to fit together and it wasn't even close to what she described. There were also spots that she could not get smooth after several requests. We finally gave up and will fix it ourselves. During all this she did put plastic up to try and protect everything from dust but dust got everywhere. They partially cleaned mid-job but not at the end. I was left to clean the whole house. She said she had a cleaning lady we could hire but we feel that clean-up should be part of the job! During the initial meeting Erin made additional recommendations for the rest of the house, which is fine since we want to put the house on the market and we were open to suggestions, but as we found out, she promises more than she can deliver. She is very enthusiastic and has interesting ideas but she wanted to paint the whole house and it didn't need it. We did agree to have the lower room painted but she also suggested we remove the tile in that room and replace it with carpet since we were having problems with it cracking because it wasn't installed properly when the house was built. That was OK but she painted the room during the process of removing the tile and sanding the floor so huge amounts of dust landed everywhere in the house. She washed down the newly painted walls but you can tell where she did this and it still isn't clean. She also could not get the floor sanded smooth enough for the carpet installer. He had to leave the first time he came to install. She sanded more and the second time he came it still wasn't smooth enough so I had to pay him to do what she promised. I asked that she subtract the amount of money he charged from her bill and she did. She hired a handyman to install the baseboard in the room and to install new tile in the bathroom. Erin kept saying she would stain the baseboard to match the other stained wood in the room but it does not match. The quality of the baseboard is questionable since it appears slightly warped in spots. The tile was installed in the bathroom but then it was never sealed. I will end up doing that myself. The bathroom was left completely filthy. I told her I didn't understand how she could leave a workspace filthy so she had the bathroom cleaned. She also forgot to give the handyman all of the bathroom baseboard to install so he had to return the next day. We also had issues on our stairs where the previous owners had put some type of treads that left indentations. Erin assured us she could repair this. All she did was put more stain on the stairs. Erin's specialty is faux painting and we did not have that done. Perhaps she should stick with just that. I have never written a review this long or this negative but it was such a completely frustrating experience for us that I felt it was necessary.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
The lifespan of bathroom tile is 50 or more years, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. Leaving installation to a pro and regularly cleaning, resealing, and regrouting the tile can help lengthen the life of your tile and save you money in repairs and retiling in the long run.
Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
In some cases, granite tiles can be installed over existing flooring if the surface is level, stable, and free of moisture issues. However, removing old flooring is often recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation, as well as to avoid height differences at thresholds. Consult with your flooring pro to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.
Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.
