"I am very happy with Luis and his crew. They remodeled a master bathroom shower. Taking out the old phone booth and installing a barrier free shower complete with subway tile on the walls and mosaic for the bathroom floors. They also replaced the floor tile in my guest bathroom. Luis's work was excellent, he was reasonably priced and always made good on his commitments. I highly recommend this company."

"Michael was my tile installer and his job was complete perfection. Customer Service was top notch. When the glass installer came out to measure, the level was exact, the job was perfect. I had porcelain and marble installed with a marble picture frame. It is absolutely stunning."

"My spouse and I have met up with several contractors, but most of them have been trying to sell, not help. A friend recommended Natural Stone Restoration. We finally settled, and it’s been a fantastic experience getting the Counter Tops renovated. The communication with Zura has been stellar and reassuring; we are glad we made this choice because our kitchen looks so amazing now. Zura was able to work within our budget while promising to deliver the best. We took his word for it, and we are happy we did. If I could give more stars, I would. We highly recommend this contractor."

"He patched and painted ceiling and bathroom walls. Installed new toliet and bathroom ceiling fan. Patched and painted kitchen ceiling and walls. The house is 30 yrs old, so I asked him to replace my outlets and he did a great job for us. Installed new ceiling fan in family room (vaulted ceiling). Patched and painted ceiling and walls in hallway. Kyle was very professional. He put all the furniture back in place and vacuumed and cleaned up. Everything was spotless. I paid him in full."

"Having worked with Josh for the first time on a painting project in our new home, about a month ago... I decided to give him a shot at quoting and ultimately winning the bid for our fence. He had already proved his trustworthy ethics and willingness to keep customers satisfied. He was willing to start by digging the holes on a Saturday (never heard of a contractor working on the weekend), so that he could get out ahead of the impeding rain for the week. He made sure the holes were dig right with a two man auger and spared no expense on the concrete to set the posts (since we will be in the home for years to come).
Although the job did take a couple days longer than expected, this was in no way shape or form Josh's fault, as we had torrential downpours for two days and he had the decency to ask if it was ok not to work in the rain since not only was it dangerous, all of the trampling would ruin my grass.
He promised me that the job would be completed by Friday, and even pulled an extra person off of another job of his to make sure the man power was there to get the job done and done right.
The fence turned out absolutely great, and I couldn't be happier! The only problem is.. I cant seem to find enough work around the house to keep having him help! As stated in a review last month, Josh represents the new generation of contractors, one with honestly, loyalty, great prices and quality craftsmanship... a true asset."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.
