Q: What is the best tile for a bathtub surround?

• <div><p>Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that&rsquo;s also low-maintenance&mdash;you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it&rsquo;s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.</p></div>

Q: What tiles are suitable for a fireplace hearth?

• <div><p>You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. For example, it&rsquo;s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. </p></div>

Q: What do you put down under ceramic tile?

• <div><p>The underlayment determines a ceramic tile&rsquo;s sturdiness, and a cement board or backer board works best. Be sure to tape the joints when using these materials, and consider laying it on top of a layer of thin-set for more stability.</p></div>

Q: What tile is least slippery for a shower floor?

• <div><p>Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls. </p></div>

Q: How does the cost of porcelain countertops compare to other materials like quartz and granite?

• <div><p>Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop material. It typically costs between $50 to $70 per square foot.</p><p>Compared to quartz, porcelain is slightly more affordable, as quartz generally ranges from $50 to $200 per square foot. However, lower-quality, builder's grade quartz can be similar in price to porcelain.</p><p>Compared to granite, the price can be similar, depending on the quality of the stone. While granite slabs can range from $50 to $200 per square foot, you can find lower-end granite in the same price range as porcelain. High-end granites will cost significantly more.</p><p>Porcelain is generally more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic, but less expensive than high-end slate, concrete, and marble. A key benefit is that porcelain does not require sealing, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.</p></div>

If I could rate him higher I would. I have a few odd jobs that I needed help with and he was willing to ask one of his employees to help me out. You don't usually get that type of customer service from any company nowadays. The patio looks great! And makes our backyard much more livable!

We have lived in our home for 30 years. The bath had been done in the 70's so it was past time for a redo. We had the walls redone and ceiling. Took out the old light blue bath tub and shower and stool, and sink (all light blue) yes, you read right. That was one of the reasons that we chose...

"Overall, we are very satisfied with the services provided. I was nervous at first, because after they left the first day, the paint wasn't even and there was some paint on our tile. We called them back immediately, and then were very respectful and scheduled an appt for the next morning to fix the paint job. The next day, after the 2nd coat, the room looked amazing. They even got all the paint off the tile. They were very friendly and we will definitely be using their services in the future."
