The contractor started installation, and after laying out over 65% of the flooring discovered a defect which could only be detected under certain light - he was working in front of our full length mirror and the reflection revealed a and quot;bubbleand quot; in one of the boards. He continued laying the floor, but with a careful inspection of each piece of flooring prior to installation. He pointed out the defect to us. Only the late afternoon sun's angle revealed the extent of the defects in the flooring. We reported the situation to Pergo and Home Depot. Pergo sent an inspector. The inspector prepared a report which was not made available to us. Pergo denied our claim. We went to Home Depot. They offered a $200 refund and an area rug to cover the defects. Ironically, we chose the Pergo flooring for its beauty, and Pergo's reputation. The area rug will end up covering most of what we wanted exposed for the look of Hawaiian Curly Koa. Pergo says, and quot;customers first.and quot; Home Depot encourages, and quot;do it yourselfersand quot; (we even took a class on laying laminated floors offered by Home Depot). I would not trust either of these companies again. If I absolutely had to do this over again, I would pay the substantial difference of hiring a Home Depot referred contractor, rather than finding the best bidder. Our installer has laid hundreds of floors and is exceptionally meticulous. Yet, we could not demand that he rip out the defective materials, and re-install the flooring at his cost. Both Pergo and Home Depot refused to rectify the problem.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.
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.
Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.
Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.
Yes, you can tile over tile. However, the original tiling job must be clean, flat, and free of damage, such as mold or mildew. Removing existing tiles is time-consuming and expensive, so it might make sense to skip this step.
Remember that when you tile over an existing layer, your walls or floor will get that much taller, so it might not work, depending on your door height.
