on Angie?s List. I quickly became comfortable with doing business with them after my first conversation with their Client Service Manager, Rebecca Rohan. She always conducted herself professionally in both phone and email communications and was extremely responsive to all of my questions and concerns. The owners, Steve and Andrea Best were very personable and conveyed a genuine sincerity to work with me in bringing the highest level of workmanship and customer service to the project. Steve worked on this project along with two of his team members. Steve has a very friendly and laid back personality which toowas comforting and reassuring. The project entailed installing 12?x24? porcelain tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen measured 132 sq. ft; the bathroom 32 sq. ft. The workers were very careful relocating the kitchen appliances and did a great job removing the multiple layers of old flooring in the kitchen as well. Best Tiling recommended installing the sub floor and new bathroom tile over the existing ceramic tile. The estimate was done through email from photos I sent them of the floors in both rooms. Later during removal of the old kitchen flooring Steve realized he would have to remove an additional layer of flooring. He quickly assessed the situation and came up with a very reasonable and acceptable price to remove it. Every aspect of the project started out great. The sub floor and new tile was laid by the end of the first day. Steve worked on the kitchen floor while another worker installed the bathroom floor. I noticed neither of them were using spacers, made a comment to Steve about it, but did not think much of it at the time because they were professional tile installers and this was my first experience with professional installers. Grouting and sealing was completed on day two, kitchen appliances replaced and everything, I thought, was good to go.
The third day I was able to walk more freely in both rooms thus giving me the opportunity to get a closer look at the finished work. There were several things I was not happy about, some of which Steve was able to improve at later visits. However, some things could not be corrected or improved short of tearing out and re installing the tile such as: (1) tile is spaced at varying widths; some at ??, some at ¼?; (2) grout is not flush to the edge of tile; (3) lippage; some tiles are higher than others; (4) gouges in some of the grout lines. I am just as surprised at the finished product as anyone reading this review. However, it is easy to see the spacing is not uniform and the gouges in the tile, easy to feel the edge of the tile where the grout is not flush and to feel the ?bump? in the floor where tiles are uneven. The result is unsettling because it is unlikely that either of these floors will be replaced again in my lifetime. FYI: The material cost was $400. I visited all the big box stores, and a tile store recommended by Best Tiling as well as searched extensively online to find great looking tile that fit my budget. I found Home Depot?s tile selection (as in-store options are limited) to be less than half the cost of stores specializing in tile.

"I had Biango Construction complete a full gut renovation of my main floor powder room and laundry room/mudroom. This included a major change in layouts and moving walls, doors, HVAC, plumbing, gas lines, and electrical. I also had custom cabinets and hall tree built for the space. The final result is exceptional (see photos). While the time ended up taking longer than originally expected, it was worth it to have a trusted pro do the work and to deal with the permit process. The company was easy to work with, professional, and maintained a clean workspace across my house. All individuals working on my house with Nick Biango paid high attention to detail throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Biango Construction to anyone doing renovations or wanting built-ins added to their home."

"I’ve always wanted a second bathroom. I contacted JK Complete R&C. Jack came to my home and assessed the would be project. Jack gave me a reasonable price, start and proposed finish date. Then I met the crew John, Mike and Ziggy. We had a great relationship. Everything that was to be accomplished was explained to me on a daily bases.

"I spoke with 3 general contractors regarding the project and chose Jakubek. Dawid and his father were punctual, responsive with follow-up questions, and provided a reasonable quote. Even though I read their highly recommended reviews on Angi's website, I was still nervous about picking a contractor. However, now that the project is completed, I can honestly say Jakubek Inc- father, son, & team were amazing! They shifted cabinets in my kitchen island and installed a new granite countertop to make space for a new 36-inch range to replace my 30-inch range. In addition, they created a new vent plus electrical and installed a new hood. They removed the existing sink and cabinet in the powder room and installed a new cabinet, sink, countertop, and mirror. I moved my furniture out of the main level to have hardwood floors refinished and realized how badly the walls needed to be repainted. They were able to accommodate a last-minute request to paint interior walls and ceiling. Admittedly, the breakdown price for refinishing the hardwood floors was a few thousand more than other quotes, but I liked the continuity of having 1 contractor handle all details. Jakubek removed the quarter-round modeling, the floors were refinished (looked fantastic!) and then re-installed new quarter-round modeling. The team also installed tiles by the backdoor entrance because previously, it was hardwood, and the floor was so damaged by tracking in water/snow. Honestly, I could not ask for a better contractor - so nice, trustworthy, helpful, and felt very comfortable having the team in the house to do the work. I will definitely recommend their work and use them for any future projects."

FAQs for bathroom tile repair projects in Evanston, IL
The average cost of installing tile is around $2,000, ranging between $400 and $6,500, depending on the type of tile, square footage of tile, and whether or not your tiling contractor performs site preparation, like removing old tile. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 per square foot, largely depending on the type and quality of the tiles you choose. For example, ceramic and travertine tile cost about $1 per square foot, but luxury tile options like marble cost up to $350 per square foot, not including labor.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
