"The Drexel couch and love seat were purchased in 1985 and had never been cleaned. They were dirty but still had beautiful covering on them. We were told that cleaning something as old as our couch may not get all the oil deposited from the skin may not come out. We were fortunate: The couches now look like brand new couches, fresh from the store. Both Stanley Steemer employees, Steven Campbell and Cameron Frickey, worked steadily and thoroughly. They would both be assets to any business. The price was much lower than competitors, many of whom "claimed" to have more powerful equipment, which I seriously doubt. Sometimes the "new kid on the block" such as these upstarts could leave the consumer "high and dry". We chose well selecting Stanley Steemer."

"Avoid this dealer if you can find what you want else-where. We found them "pretending" to be professional but in reality they are so fly-by-night "make do" amateurs. They promise you quick service and take forever to get the job done. Once they have you on contract, you just have to bird dog them until completion. After several weelks of waiting for our interlocking strip flooring to be installed, a team showed up and after removing the old floor, immediately put down a thick layer of glue !! They began putting down cheap, thin floor strips. We stopped them and forced them to verify what they had brought was wrong. Then they had to spread dry-zit and scrape up the glue. Our whole house was a dust storm and we had to live with the bare dusted slab surface a few more weeks until the correct floor material came in. AVOID THIS COMPANY LIKE YOU WOULD AVOID POISON IVY. They are the worst."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.
You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.
The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.
