Hello, I am a recently retired educator and coach. I learned building trades from my father as I child and worked with him in construction for 8 years building houses from the ground up including plumbing, wiring, concrete, cabinetry, etc. from framing to finish. I have completed my own additions, remodeling, and repairs for the last 30 years. I'm a detail oriented perfectionist that enjoys working with my hands and providing a quality, reasonable service.

"I can’t say enough good things about Richie Builders. I never dreamed this project could be completed so quickly, professionally and perfectly. They tore down a CNN load bearing wall between my living room and b kitchen, installed a beam, finished with drywall, texture and installed flooring where we removed cabinets. They started the job one week after I accepted their proposal. The three young men doing the construction were at my home by 7 every morning and worked until they had to break for drywall setup etc. They were all friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable, answering any questions I had. I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work and their work ethic. I will certainly request their help as n other projects."

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
Marble is high maintenance, like most other types of natural stone flooring. However, because it is naturally a more porous stone, there are a few added care instructions. You will need to clean it often to prevent dirt and grit from scratching the finish and surface, keep it dry, clean up spills immediately, and have it professionally sealed and refinished at least once a year to maintain the shine and water-tight surface. However, investing in maintenance is a smart move because marble floors are among the most beautiful and valuable types of flooring when properly cared for.
The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
