"My wife and I love our new windows. They keep out the weather and look much better. Our custom ordered windows were installed approximately 3-4 weeks after we signed the agreement and paid a the deposit. Hoosier Boy was flexible in scheduling an install date that worked with my schedule. Installers arrived on time and were very careful to not damage any property or landscaping. All trash and debris from the original windows were cleaned up and hauled away. Overall we are very happy with Hoosier Boy's work and will quote them for any future home improvement projects."
"7M Construction was selected to run 2 major renovation projects for us and they exceeded expectations every step of the way. While we collectively experienced material and labor shortages over the last 12 month period, 7M maintained excellent communication about completion timeline and if there were any issues they were quick to respond and address accordingly. I can’t wait to work with them on another project."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered).
Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.
Tile countertops can last up to 100 years when properly maintained. Ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most durable types and can last as long as natural stone countertops like granite, marble, and quartz. Tile countertops are much cheaper than natural stone countertops, making them an excellent option for a homeowner with a limited budget.
Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.
No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
