"I hired Luis to install two custom tile showers, floor tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, wood flooring in the living room and carpet in our bedrooms, he did a very good job and was very professional, I will recommend him to anyone looking for someone to install flooring in their home."
Joe Papa and his son John, owners of New Surface Technology, were highly recommended to me by Home Advisor. After trying the yellow pages with absolutely no luck I called Home Advisor. They connected me to New Surface Technology. Mr. Papa called back immediately and came out the next day to make a bid. He explained how he would resurface our Cultured Marble surfaces in our bathrooms including sinks, cabinet tops, bathtub and walls around them and still be able to see the marbling of the original surface. We were having new faucets installed in our bathrooms and since it had been 28 years since they were put in, the surface around the existing faucets had stained and the new faucets would not fit the same shape to cover the stains. Joe Papa and his son worked with our plumber and made the counters and walls look almost new. They worked hard and diligently making sure we were satisfied and reworked any spots they were not happy with also. The surface looks great and there are no stains around the new fixtures. My wife and I could not be more pleased. I highly recommend New Surface Technology.

"Douglas Bush and his crew, Warren and Randy, did an excellent job. They did everything that was quoted in the price and came back the following day to complete the job. All three were very professional and courteous. They were not even annoyed by all the questions I had as they completed the work. Warren repaired a bungled gutter job that some other folks did that I hired. He came in and fixed everything including adding some pieces and two additional down sprouts. Doug and Randy did a great job installing the french drain so that water can run from my backyard down the side slope of my home to the street. Once the dirt settles, I will be getting them back to add some dirt and level the yard. I am pleased with the results because it will keep the water from settling in my back yard and around my foundation. "
"I met Jill at our home and she took measurements and photos of our sons' room. We talked briefly about my ideas for the space. She provided several concept boards, for window treatments, furniture, and an overall "look" for the rooms. She also provided us with floor plans for each room. She brought paint colors, fabric selections, etc. Our first job with Jill was our sons' room. For the playroom, she had some pretty unique ideas that were right in line with the contemporary- but not too modern- look we wanted. She helped me with tips on doing some of the decorative painting myself, but also provided a few resources in case we wanted to hire the job out. She also helped me coordinate a subcontractor who handled a set of beautiful custom blinds. Jill tells me that in some cases she handles all the shopping, but that's part of the fun for me so she provided a list of links and stores for the items she chose. She gave a few choices for almost every item- budget and higher end. That allowed me to meet my budget while still getting some showstopper items, because we were able to save in other areas. Within a few weeks the room came together and got rave reviews after I posted the before and after photos on Facebook. And of course our visitors were amazed at the transformation. In the interim, we were redoing our guest bathroom on our own, and Jill was able to come into the project to help us choose tiles, wall colors, and vanity choices. A quick job that turned out really well considering the turn around time. A few months later we hired Jill again to rethink our living room and dining room. We were on a much more limited budget for both rooms but wanted to see what she could come up with considering some challenges in both the shape of the rooms and that I wanted to integrate some antique pieces we already owned. She came up with a brilliant look that blended our older pieces with a contemporary and clean look and we came in well under budget. Working with Jill was a lot of fun and we expect to continue to work with her to refine the look of our home. When I was considering hiring an interior designer I was worried about my low budget and lack of experience hiring someone to make these kind of choices for me. But it turned out to be the best decision we've ever made for our home because she allowed us to transform each area well under budget and much more quickly than we ever could have done on our own (well, we would have taken forever to make a decision on every item!). My favorite rooms in the house are the ones she's worked on with us. I just feel so happy that we found Jill Seidner."
"They took the time to correct a third parties mistake when the tile was not the correct one. He drove 3 hours and picked up the right tile for the installation and still managed to finish the project on schedule, so I highly recommend him to anyone."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.
The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.
Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.
Poured-in-place terrazzo flooring is more durable than tile. In fact, it’s one of the most durable types of flooring on the market. It can last anywhere from 40 to 100 years, depending on maintenance. On average, you can expect your terrazzo floor to last about 75 years, but you will have to make repairs as needed.
Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing.
