CERAMIC TILE AND STONE INSTALLATION. 18 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, LICENSED AND INSURED, FREE ESTIMATES, NO JOB TOO SMALL,
"Here is our experience using Exell Ceramic Tile! Nine months after our new master bath was tiled by Exell we noticed some of the tile on the floor was starting to loosen. A call was placed to Val and a detailed message about the problem was left. No return call from Val. In the next couple of months the grout between the tiles continued to chip out and more and more tiles became unattached on the floor. Once covid hit we had to wait to have the problem addressed. This summer we had a very reputable tile layer assess and fix the problem. Here are his words describing what he discovered. “The problem was when installing a porcelain tile over self-leveler, you need to either prime it with a latex primer or use an anti-fracture membrane. The anti-fracture membrane is a better choice because cracks will not transfer though the tile. You need to use one of the 2 because the self-leveler is very porous and porcelain tile is not. The result is what happened here. The thinset binds to the self-leveler and pulls all the moisture out too fast making it so it will not bond to the tile. That is why I was able to pull up the entire floor and reinstall it. Not one bit of thinset was stuck to the tile. The tile was just sitting on the floor loose. Had it been a wall it would have fallen off. The actual tile work looked above average, it was just a lack of knowledge on installing porcelain over a very porous surface.” The cost was $1500 to remove and reinstall our bathroom floor with an anti-fracture membrane. A letter requesting a reimbursement for this expense was sent to a confirmed address with delivery confirmation. It stated he had one month to pay us or we would write a bad review and start a BBB claim. Sadly Val choose to blow us off! Clearly Exell Tile was at fault for the poor installation and it astonished us that Val choose to ignore our reasonable request to be reimbursed. PLEASE BEWARE and take this warning to heart!!!! Here’s an interesting update: the grout in the master shower is now starting to crack!"

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines.
Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
