"I recently got my bathroom floor tiles changed with Flavius. He did a wonderful job! Took his time to properly install the flooring and even fixed the base flooring to make sure no issues will come up later on. I would definitely recommend him for your tile installation."
"Great experience! The team was professional, punctual, and the tile work came out beautifully. Attention to detail was top-notch, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality tile installation!"
"Calabe and team were great to work with. I had the tile already on site and they were able to slot me in quickly. He had great ideas and did a great job. Just over a week from start to finish. Removed a tub and old tile. Created a custom walk in shower. Replaced the flooring in the remainder of the room and replaced the vanity and toilet with new updated ones. His team and the plumber he brought in were great."
"Rich did a great job removing the old ceramic tiles from my kitchen and bath floors. He was prompt and worked nonstop, except for a few ten-minute breathers. Rich is very kind and more than polite. I would have had him come back to install porcelain tile which is his forte but due to the construction and age of my home , I chose a different flooring. Rich is a perfectionist and I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"Hired to remove large accent panel over kitchen sink and install subway tile to match the rest of tile and pattern of kitchen backsplash. Some damage to wall which was expected since it was attached with cement and the new tile needed to be cut to fit but I expected that, too. Another tile installer I hired actually backed out of the job for that reason. Wall was repaired and tile job looked fine . Fair price. Orlen was always on time , answering calls, texts. Always professional and pleasant to work with."
"When Edmar Ferreira came to discuss building two fieldstone retaining walls and repair some steps, he was punctual and listened to our ideas. He promptly submitted a detailed contract, and the work began. Edmar is a conscientious man with a very strong work ethic. He was open to suggestions and did his best to accommodate our wishes while paying attention to details and the quality of his work. Edmar was respectful not only of our property, cleaning up each day, but also respectful of our time. The work was completed on time, and we are very happy with it. We would definitely hire Edmar again. He is one of the finest and hardest-working men we've met. It has been a pleasure knowing him. Mark B. Sudbury"
"Jim was excellent at advising the work needed and estimating the total time for our door replacement. When he couldn't finish the work the first day, he made sure the door was usable and able to lock. He also showed up early the next day and finished the job to perfection!"
"Sean was a dream to work with, his communication is second to none. We hired Footprints to replace carpet and add vinyl plank flooring. Crew was amazing fast, neat and friendly. Sean made sure we were completely satisfied. We hired him to do our first level the next week, and we are so happy with the results."
"Very professional! Came when said would.. prompt and cleaned up after job done. Fence looks great and will hire them for more projects ! His helper was wonderful as well!"
"They were efficient and very polite. I am happy with my new floors and plan on hiring them for a few other projects. They are also very dog friendly which made things easier on me. I would highly recommend their services."
Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn’t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles.
If you’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.
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.
