"I had a great experience with Mike and his team. My husband and I had never done a big remodel before and Mike held our hands every step of the way. The kitchen was completely gutted and I could not be happier with the work that he did. Everything came out even better than anticipated and on budget too! It took about a week longer than expected, but only because the team was determined to get every last detail perfect."

"He is not a contractor. He has been doing tiles for above 20 years. He is an excellent tile person. He does some designs and works with several wholesalers who recommend him. He also works with a couple of people for granites. He has lots of design ideas which we have incorporated. He is a perfectionist and a great guy to work with. He is currently working on our master bathroom."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts

Quartz countertops are relatively expensive, but they’re a very popular option because of their durability and attractive design. Some manufacturers also offer lifetime guarantees for their products. Even though they’re expensive, they could wind up being a one-time purchase.

Silestone® is heat-resistant, so it can handle moderately high temperatures for a short period of time. That said, exposure to high heat can cause serious damage. You should never take a hot pan off the stove and place it directly on your countertop. Temperatures above 300 degrees Fahrenheit can leave marks or discoloration on the surface. Instead, use a trivet.

Marble countertops don’t necessarily crack easily. However, they are more susceptible to damage than some other types of countertops. For example, they can develop etching from acidic liquids, such as lemon or tomato juice. Marble can also chip at the edges if you drop a heavy pan. A faux marble countertop isn’t as delicate as the real deal (depending on the material you’re painting over), but it can still get scratched if you’re not careful. Use hot pads and cutting boards to protect the countertop.

If you're looking to break up a stone slab or some landscaping stone, the process is very similar to breaking up a boulder, and may in fact be easier because it is easier to access and not as deeply buried into the ground.

You can use some types of car wax to polish marble floors, as long as the polish is designed for use on marble floors. Read the label and test the polish on a small area of the floor first to see how it interacts with the marble. Car wax can help fill in or buff away small scratches, while polishing the marble for extra shine.
