Q: What’s the difference between floor and wall tile?

• <div><p>The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. </p><p>For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.</p></div>

Q: Can you put hot pans on porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat&mdash;it&rsquo;s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops. </p></div>

Q: What is the life span of porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you&rsquo;ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.</p></div>

Q: Is outdoor ceramic tile more expensive than porcelain pavers?

• <div><p>Ceramic tile can be slightly less expensive than porcelain pavers. You can find outdoor ceramic tile for as little as <b>$1 per square foot</b>, but high-end options tend to cost the same as porcelain.</p></div>

Q: Do you need spacers for ceramic tile?

• <div><p>If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.</p></div>

Good work guarantee. I love making our customer's happy

"Highly recommended. Jose and Cesar were great. They were reliable and their work was excellent. They completely remodeled our condo including 4 bathrooms, floors, fireplace/hearth, etc. It was a big job and they worked with us to make sure everything came out exactly the way we wanted. The cost was very reasonable."

"Zack, Breezy and their colleagues are absolutely the BEST at what they do. We live 5 hours away and needed someone that we could trust to look after our Airbnb investment. Having a good property manager is insanely important. Carlow Property Management took care of everything, including marketing, upkeep of the house and yard, dealing with issues (appliances dying,etc), taking our lakeside dock out, and they did it all in a timely, proactive manner. Their communication has been excellent. Also, they have a phenomenal network of resources that helped us get jobs and repairs done quickly, properly, and affordable. Zack, Breezy and their team made this an effortless and head-ache free adventure for us. A good property manager is hard to find, a great one is almost impossible. Carlow Property Management is truly great. If you can use them...do it, you won't regret it!"
