"Jarrett is awesome.. he completed 3 property remodels for me between 2021 and 2022.. this included demo, full electrical and plumbing to code, removing load bearing walls to open up the space, full kitchen and bathroom remodel, tiling, drywall, flooring, painting and finishing.. Best part is I was remote and was able to trust him end to end for all materials and labor. His strengths are timeliness, planning, communication and strong work ethic including in many cases to outsource a job to someone else to save me money."

He was punctual and provided the service requested.  The cost is high and I know that there were some areas where the bid should've been reduced. 

The 2nd visit was to his showroom so that I could see the different products that he offers.  It's a great sales presentation.

I had no misgivings.  While I paid for the design layout, which I received, I did expect a sales pitch to provide the cabinets and installation.

"We immediately liked Mike Schmidt when we met him for the
first time when he came to our house to talk to us on how we wanted to remodel
our kitchen and give an estimate.  Mike is a positive person who is a
great listener, very approachable, easy to talk to and always in a great
mood.  I can not emphasize enough what a great listener he was to our
ideas for our kitchen. Other contractors we had contacted before Mike for
estimates had said they only do this option or this option and that was it and
would not listen to our ideas and were rude.  My wife had very specific
ideas of things she wanted in the new kitchen along with several custom made
things that would be unique in our kitchen.  Mike was always polite and
said Joe and his crew could do all of those things.  He wrote down all of
her ideas.  My wife also gave him a photograph of an industrial type steel
railing she saw on Pinterest and wanted that railing custom made along with a
gate to match to stop our grandchild from going downstairs and also for our
dogs. She also wanted a feature wall where the entire wall would have old
barnwood on it and a custom made pantry screen door with old barn wood on it
also. Joe built and installed all these things.  Mike would bring pieces
of barn wood to see what we thought of it and sent pictures of wood.  Mike
and Joe always asked and listened to my wife's ideas and made great suggestions
too on things that sounded like what she was looking for. Mike always answers
his phone and is very willing to answer questions.
Joe takes great pride in his work and everything he works with turns out
awesome.  He also is a great listener and is in a great mood.  Mike
and Joe and crew were always on time and did a great job of cleaning before
they left each day.  We are so amazed at how beautiful the railing and
gate are that Joe created, welded together and installed.
Mike and Joe truly represent what a contractor should be.  They showed the
following:
Listens well, are in great moods, can talk to them on ideas and/or changes,
friendly, creates a positive environment, enjoys their work, communicates well
with talking, sending a text, answering the phone, and sending e-mails
including suggestion photos and ideas, extremely hard working, great pride in
their work and have a great price for remodeling.
Mike is the best contractor I have ever worked with. Joe is amazing and can
create and install anything the customer would like.  Joe told my wife how
he was so looking forward to creating our railing and gate. Joe loves his job.
This is the best contractor experience we have ever had. I have already
recommended Mike and Joe to all our friends and will contact them again for any
future remodeling. 
 Everything in our kitchen is exactly how we pictured it in our minds, We love it,
are very happy and are totally satisfied!! Thank you Mike and Joe!!

"Matt with Mighty Blue showed up on time, was professional , and provided excellent service.  We had all of our carpet, tile, and upholstery cleaned at what we would consider a very reasonable rate.  I would highly recommend this company to any one.  We were very satisfied with this service and will definitely be calling them again.

"Masterline Floors has done multiple projects for us and they all have been fantastic! The first project we did with Masterline was ripping the carpet out of our family room and tying into the existing hardwood floors in the kitchen. We also changed color during that project. Masterline did a fantastic job blending the new floor with the existing. The latest project Masterline did for us was installing LVP in the bar area and bathroom in our newly finished basement. It turned out great!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.

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.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.
