"We were and are still thrilled with the project completed by Archadeck. There was a slight problem with settling the first year, and TJ replaced more than needed on a schedule that fit with us. Our project consisted of bringing in material to level a slope, installing over 800sf of patio pavers, and replacing a multi-level deck with a privacy wall. I would highly recommend Archadeck."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
Tile flooring will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even up to 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance.
You can help your tile floor achieve a longer lifespan by maintaining it properly. This includes cleaning it regularly (including cleaning the tile floor grout), keeping the floor dry, and not setting super heavy items on it to keep it from cracking. You'll also want to regrout your tile floor every 10 years. Using a grout sealer will help your floor last longer.
If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
Consider factors such as color, finish, tile size, slip resistance, and durability when selecting a tile for your granite floors. Higher-grade granite and thicker tiles may cost more upfront but offer greater longevity and aesthetic appeal. Consult with a granite flooring pro to find a tile that matches your needs and budget.
Granite floor installation takes two to five days for an average-sized room, depending on the area size, complexity, and whether additional preparation work is required. Larger or more intricate projects may take longer, especially if demolition or subfloor repairs are needed. Scheduling and contractor availability can also affect the timeline, so be sure to prepare in advance.
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.
