"Larsen Tile was great to work with. The work is beautiful. The job was neat and done as we wanted. Cleaned up after. Also the big plus was he saved us money over what Lowe's was charging us and they also couldn't provide an installer after 2 weeks of phone calls. We talked to Larsen tile and he was there the next morning. Will recommend them to everyone. Our neighbors are jealous of our new tile. Thanks again Jon."
Honest and skilled. 7 years experience in tile and flooring. I'm an Ironworker. Worked on large commercial projects(high rises, bridges, midrise). I come with variety of certificates (welding,first-aid,signalling,rigging). Lots of classroom hours and training that cross relates into pretty much anything.I currently had to step away from ironwork due to large changes in my personal life. Im capable and willing to do any job big or small.
"Well. 1st plumber who looked at the system said shower valves needed to be replaced but that was a problem because there are no access panels. Chaub plummer advised valves were good quality and there was no need to replace. He replaced/installed new hardware and did a great job in a timely manner."
"Very well! We are so happy with the finished bathrooms. Bryce did our work and he got things done quickly. Reeds also had the best rate from three bids we compared."
"Michael and his team did great job on me and my husbands kitchen. They communicated with us throughout the whole process, and were clean and friendly while they were in our home. I definitely would reccomend Superior Stone to anyone looking for new countertops."
"Was very happy with the work that was done. Very professional and done in a timely manner, and did what he said he was gonna do. Great craftsmanship. Thanks again"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
DIY is possible for small projects. Professional services ensure precision and long-lasting results.
Tile countertops can be an excellent and budget-friendly option for a kitchen, provided they are installed correctly. It's important to choose tiles, such as ceramic, that are heat-, water-, and scratch-resistant. When the grout is properly sealed, it will resist stains, making the surface easy to clean. Tile is also considered a sustainable material. For a cohesive kitchen design and added protection, you can pair a tile countertop with a matching tile backsplash.
Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.
Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.
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.
