Q: What is the most durable tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors. </p></div>

Q: Should I replace the toilet or tile first?

• <div><p>When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages&mdash;the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.</p><p>On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you&rsquo;re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It&rsquo;s a lot more work, it&rsquo;s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.</p></div>

Q: What is the best trowel for penny tile?

• <div><p>The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you&rsquo;re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.</p></div>

Q: Is it ever appropriate to leave tile in place when redoing a wall?

• <div><p>Yes, provided you aren&rsquo;t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.</p></div>

Q: Should tile trim match the grout or the tile?

• <div><p>Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.</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!!
