Q: Can I re-tile a bathroom myself?

• <div><p>Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it&rsquo;s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills. </p></div>

Q: What should I consider when choosing a pool tile?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pool-remodel-cost.htm">Pool remodel costs</a> are pricey, so you want to make sure you do it right. The best pool tile for you is one that looks great and fits your budget. If you have your heart set on a particular tile but can&rsquo;t afford to tile your whole pool in that style, consider tiling only a small area or portion of your pool with specialty tile.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install a kitchen backsplash?

• <div><p>You can expect it to take <b>three to four days</b> to fully install a kitchen backsplash&mdash;most of the time, waiting for the mortar and grout to dry. The actual process of putting up tiles is relatively quick. You&rsquo;ll spend a fair amount of time laying out the tiles, ensuring they&rsquo;re perfectly aligned. Also, if you have to remove the current backsplash, that will also add time to your project.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under a tile floor?

• <div><p>To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you&rsquo;ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don&rsquo;t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to install flooring?

• <div><p>It takes about one to three days for a two-person crew to lay 800 to 1,000 square feet of flooring daily. Remember that removal of existing flooring and additional prep work is considered during this time, and it&rsquo;s likely that you won&rsquo;t be able to pass through the room easily. In addition, you can expect lots of hammering and other noise from power tools during installation, so it&rsquo;s best to plan accordingly.</p></div>

We are very pleased with the work he did. He replaced an old dryer venting line that had completely broken down and was putting a lot of lint out into the inside of our home. It so nice to run the dryer now and not have all that hot moist air and lint going everywhere. Thanks Van

"Salesman that we were to replace dry wall. Later learned we were to have it removed. Attempts to reach supervisors and owners resulted in zero until time to do installation. Gave $1300+ down. Note: this went to the salesman, not to MABS. Then salesman stated $12,000 more if MABS removed the dry wall. Paid salesman and his friend to remove it but didn't do all of it! Sent certified letters to Cedar Rapids address after we got no verbal responses to phone calls. Later learned they receive no mail there, only in Davenport. Were to have GFI outlet placed at far end of basement. 3 electricians said not possible. Also discharge was to be underground to rear of yard which we thought meant to back! House sits on clay. Was to discharge under ground out 10 feet from house. Canceled installation and have found that other basement waterproofing companies do not require 2.5 feet of dry wall removed: only baseboard. Cost was same as MABS. Now we must pay to have drywall installed after the waterproofing is completed."
