"Flavors did and outstanding job fixed our badly botched tile work in our bathroom. He is very detailed oriented and you would even know he was there when the job is complete. He is very neat and cleans throughout the project. If anyone would like to be completely satisfied hire Flavius Tile.
You won't be sorry.."
"Matt and his team are amazing! My new carpets look so good! They were respectful of my furniture and hardwood floors during installation. I was so happy that I m having them back at some point to install ceramic tile in my kitchen and bathroom."
"Started job on start date was there each day at the time he said he would be clean work site kept all debri and trash contained finished job days earlier then expected very polite and professional excellent job over all would use him again and recommend him to others"
"Ornel and Al did a great job and I am very pleased with the outcome. The tile was placed too closely to the electrical outlets and someone had to use a dremel to file the tile so the outlets could be installed, which was a pain. Ornel installed a 3 mural tile over my stove and took great care with the spacing and placement of that. I would hire them again!"
"I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Smith Tile, Flooring & Renovations. Sam, the owner, brought professionalism and expertise from start to finish. He was punctual, respectful of my home, and paid close attention to every detail while installing vinyl flooring throughout my basement. He was extremely accommodating, answering all my questions and offering valuable suggestions and design insights that improved the final look. His knowledge and craftsmanship were clear in every step of the process. Pricing was fair and in line with other quotes I received, but Sam’s communication and quality of work truly set him apart. My basement looks amazing, and I’m so glad I chose Sam for my remodel. I highly recommend Smith Tile, Flooring & Renovations to anyone looking for skill, reliability, and excellent results."
"Installed pre-finished hardwood in 2 bedrooms. Very happy with the installation and the crew that installed. 2 minor issues being resolved this week. The only reason I didn’t give them a 5 is they delayed my install 2 weeks at the last minute due to lack of inventory. Don’t understand how the didn’t know level of inventory when the set the date."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Natural stone tiles are durable, heat-resistant, and add timeless elegance to floors, walls, and countertops.
Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.
When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.
There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.
