"Flavius was extremely professional and highly efficient. He had better ideas on how to replace the pool tiles than I had. Next season he most likely will redo our bathroom."
"Thomas was very quick to provide a quote and begin work. He worked over the recent 4th of July weekend. He demolished an existing tiled shower wall and pan that failed after only two years in service. He showed me each step of the way how the contractor that installed the prior shower didn’t do it correctly. He was finished on time and at a very reasonable price. My advice is don’t hire carpenters to do tile work. Hire Thomas he will do it correctly!"
"Tim was wonderful to work with! He was professional, on time, and provided quality service with reasonable pricing. I highly recommend Tim at Fine Kerf Carpentry and will be using him again for my next home project! Thanks Tim!"
"Thiago is amazing!!! his crew was very friendly and cleaned up after themselves. they explain the process as they were going. h Thiago has a great suppler in marlboro who helped us pick out the perfect piece of granite and answered all our questions. they had hundreds of slabs, so many more options then any other place we checked out including private granite show rooms and home depot. prices for installation and removal were so fair that it made the project a reality. he also sells sinks for fair prices as well. we love our new countertops. uba tuba is the way to go :)"
"I called terry to see if my counter could be raise as my new dishwasher would not fit where my old one was. I was told I had to either cut the floor or do the counter over He said it would be a lot of work as I have tile that would have to be cut. He then asked if he could try something and guess what he got my dishwasher in with no cutting that the other guy said I had to do. Terry and Dave are the best. Thank you"
"My house needed to be repaired from a huge fire. I was looking for a GC that has extensive knowledge of fire damage. After multiple quotes, I chose WS Builders because the owner was very professional and knew what he was talking about. Wladimir assisted me from beginning to end. We gutted the whole house and replace all the electricity. This was a big project and it was necessary to find a GC who had previous experience in rebuilding a house damaged by fire. I am very please with Wladimir's work ethic and professionalism. He had a quick turnaround and communicated thoroughly to ensure that I fully understand what was going on during the project. I recommend using him if you are looking for somebody with years of experience. Regardless of what job it is, he has the subcontractors to ensure the job is completed in a timely manner."

Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.
