"He was prompt and got it done quickly and nicely. The only problem was that the carpet won’t clean up even after shampooing. Should have put a tarp down first."
"Excellent job! They not only did the whole flooring work at my house, they basically renovated the entire place by installing new trims and painting every wall in the living room, bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom."
"We needed our large deck replaced with a different backyard solution. Aaron did a great job talking through it with us. We were on a tight budget and he was great about presenting options that were realistic. We love our new deck and it’s made our backyard part of our lives again. He even checked in a couple weeks after the job was done and paid for to see if everything was good."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Yes, even if you’re being careful, removing tile can damage your drywall to some degree. However, you can minimize the damage done to it by eliminating a majority of the grout and taking your time prying each tile off. Also, it's worth noting that you might have more drywall damages to deal with if your tile is set into the mortar.
Replacing tile flooring can take a few days for a pro, but larger rooms will need more time. It takes eight to 12 hours for a tiling pro to remove old grout and tiles across 100 square feet. Then, it will take about four hours to prep the subfloor for tiles and another eight to 10 hours for a pro to install new tiles. Your tiling project may take up to a week, depending on the size of the room.
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.
It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space.
While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.
