"In summary I have to say Richard was excellent! He came when he said he would and finished the work when he said it would be finished. As I solicited multiple bids for the work NE Renovations was among the most competitive. As the work was completed I was so pleased I ended requesting he come back to do additional jobs. He was very accomadating and even explained various options on how best to accomplish the additional work. "
"I am so happy with how my bathtub turned out! It was old and damaged and now looks brand new! Eric was very responsive to messages and did exactly what he said at a great price. I have already hired him for more work, thank you!!"
"Keyes construction responded to my email within 24 hours. I needed a layer of metal and two layers of shingles removed and everything replaced. He was the best priced and completed the job within a weeks time. The workers were very professional and and showed me and my family nothing but respect. I see using Keyes Construction for all of my future projects! 10 out of 10"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
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.
Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.
Common problems include cracks, loose tiles, and grout discoloration. Proper maintenance prevents many issues.
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.
Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.
