Welcome; a little about me. My name is Nick, I've been in and out of the construction world for the better part of the last 15 years doing everything from footings, foundations, and flatwork concrete through finish carpentry and paint. I am well versed in vinyl flooring, tile, drywall, roofing and siding, interior or exterior paint, pest exclusion, remodel and renovation, framing, monoslabs and finish concrete, windows and doors, and many more. During this time, I also attended college for architectural design and development. I have recently decided to stand on my own with the possibility to grow something for the future for my children who all want to learn the trades as well. I am available for quotes and am willing to work either at time and material or bid by the job. I will be uploading and adding pictures of recent work to include the project I am currently working on, which is exterior paint of 140,000ft in grey&black. Although I live in Oxford, ME; travel for work isn't and has never been an issue. I am competitive on pricing and available to work around a budget. The work performed by me can be billed out at time and material or an overall bid cost to suit your financial needs.

"Rider Home Improvement did a great job with our cabin portico project. We wanted to cover our front entry steps with a small exterior addition to protect the steps and keep the entry free of snow and rain. The cabin is rustic, so we wanted rough sawn cedar and stone bases to keep the look of our log cabin. Craig Rider was extremely good about being pro-active, following up promptly, and showing up when he said he would. We had a few sub-contractor and weather issues that impacted our schedule, but Craig kept us on his radar and made our small project a priority. We had a few concerns about material quantities, measuring, and overall design aesthetics, but with continuous in-person conversations, we achieved what we set out to achieve. Craig’s pricing was fair and transparent. We enjoyed working with both Craig and his son, David, and are very pleased with the final project."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
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.
No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.
Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.
The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.
The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot,which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot,which is about the same as porcelain.
