Q: Should you tile around the toilet or remove the toilet?

• <div><p>For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don&rsquo;t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.</p></div>

"Our salesman, Nathan was very informative and helpful through our whole project. Erica kept us informed about installing schedule. Even with delays, Erica made sure I had the latest information and never hesitate to call. Our installer for the shower was very polite and made sure he had all supplies. He installed the shower in one day. The counter top was installed three days later. The installer was polite and even came up with solutions when the installed plumbing needed adjustments."

"I do carpentry on my own but I was reluctant to repair dry-rot around my mother's windows as I know how troublesome rural houses can be. I hired Jeremy and he made quick work if it. The finished product is fantastic and the cost was under my own evaluation. It was so good we hired him on to build a deck for us this fall."

"Sentri Homes provided the most professional flooring service I’ve ever had. The LVP installation turned out absolutely beautiful, and I was amazed at how quickly everything was completed without sacrificing quality. The crew was fast, accurate, and extremely detail-oriented from start to finish. Everything was installed cleanly, precisely, and with real craftsmanship. The entire process was smooth, efficient, and far beyond what I expected. I would absolutely recommend Sentri Homes to anyone needing flooring installed."

"This company is the BEST!!! From the owners Matt & Katie, to the installers, we were floored with the top-notch professionalism, craftmanship and low price! My husband and I replaced 14 windows on our 1980's home, we were cautious and got several bids, Matt & Katie came in so low we wondered what kind of quality windows we would get. Well let me say to any prospective buyers out there...you will not be disappointed!! Our new windows are absolutely beautiful!! The installers were skilled and very efficient at their trade, they were also some of the kindest people ive met, very aware and courteous and respectful to my family and pets during the installation which was apx 2 days. I never, not once had any problems with call backs or explanations from Matt, he was super to work with, always answering every question so that i felt comfortable and assured. I highly recommend VantagePoint Exteriors to any and all, First Class A-1 Company!!
