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>

Q: How long do tiles last?

• <div><p>Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they&rsquo;re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they&rsquo;ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.</p></div>

Q: How do you finish the edges of a tiled hearth?

• <div><p>If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren&rsquo;t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You&rsquo;d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. </p></div>

Q: Do you grout hearth tiles?

• <div><p>Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn&rsquo;t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles. </p></div>

Q: How much does porcelain tile installation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-flooring-choices-descriptions-and-costs.htm">cost to install porcelain tile</a> is about <b>$1,930</b> on average. Porcelain tile prices range from <b>$880 to $3,000</b> or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable.

This is my first time renting a dumpster. I don't think it could have gone any better honestly. It was less expensive than I anticipated and they gave me $50 off of my next rental.

"This review is based on my experience with Miracle Method of Indianapolis. I have used this process before in another home and found it to be the best option as I do not like grout. This last project was exhausting and after numerous attempts to get it resolved I contact CDH. They were more than willing to help me and took a lot of time on the phone to help me. In the end I had to finish with Miracle Method as they already had 100% of the funds. I will also state that I incurred additional fees in plumber trip and new fixtures that were damaged as to a bad tape job. I wish I would have called CDL first. Please beware of Miracle Method."

"Was unable to attend the inspection but I was very pleased with the results. The report was highly detailed and included items that I never noticed during my two visits to the unit, such as missing grout against a threshold. Was pleased with attentive customer service too. One drawback was it was more expensive than I was expecting, but I think I received value for my money. Would use again and would recommend to others."
