"We recently had wood flooring installed by Marvel Makers, and the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The team was professional, punctual, and paid close attention to detail throughout the entire process. The craftsmanship is outstanding — the floors are beautifully installed, seamless, and completely transformed the look and feel of our home. What stood out most was their communication and care. They took the time to answer questions, kept the workspace clean, and made sure everything was completed to a high standard. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in the final result. If you’re looking for quality flooring installation with excellent customer service, I highly recommend Marvel Makers. We’re extremely happy with our new floors and would absolutely use them again for future projects."

"They did a great job from the salesman to the roofers. Everything the salesman told me (and he went thru everything that would be done, step by step) was done from the materials being dropped off the day before to the clean up after the roof was done. I hope I don.t ever need it but the 50 year / unlimited wind guarantee isnice and it's even transferable if i ever want to move"

"We hired Adam and Kiltconstruction for a remodel on the run down, 90 year old house we had purchased. It was very outdated and neglected but we knew it could be a special home. Adam was recommended from a co-worker so we called him. He arrived when he said he would which was a good first impression. My wife and I explained to him about what we were thinking to do in our home and he took extra time to listen as we walked thru the house. To our pleasant surprise he not only took our ideas but was able to offer several suggestions that we had not thought of to integrate modern appliances within the 90 year old layout. During the course of the remodel Adam remained in constant contact whenever there was an issue we needed to be aware of. It is an old house so there were a few unknown and unexpected changes to the initial discussion. Adam is a great communicator, he listened to what we were hoping to get in the remodel and made great suggestions to accentuate our ideas. He was also very candid in terms of the costs for the work performed and we never had a feeling we were not getting what we paid for. I highly recommend Adam and Kiltconstruction. Honest, no games and a partner for your remodeling project."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

As long as you follow the instructions on your peel-and-stick tile packaging, it should not damage your walls. A possible instance when you may accidentally damage your walls is if you install tiles improperly using additional adhesives that aren’t recommended.

Also, you can damage your walls if you’re not careful when removing tile. For example, you could accidentally make holes in the drywall with a paint scraper if you don’t heat the adhesive long enough before trying to pry it off.

On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.

Yes, construction materials like tile, lumber, drywall, and hardware can be disposed of in a dumpster, just not in your regular garbage. As you’re planning your project, just make sure to rent the correct size of dumpster based on the scope of your needs and be aware of weight limits. Tile weighs a lot (along with other construction materials), and your costs could increase if you exceed the weight limit in your contract with the dumpster provider.
