"We had the good fortune to work with Dirk Drummond on an extensive remodel of our mountain home that touched every surface and every room. Dirk executed an exceptional remodel that exceeded all of our expectations. He is honest, hard working, and actively communicative. We found that Dirk cared more about doing things right than we did and we never once worried about how a problem would be solved or a challenge addressed. Additionally, he is very creative and offered many great insights into how to enhance the project. For example, he imagined and built a remarkable one-of-a-kind kitchen island out of reclaimed 100 year old barn wood that would be a centerpiece for any home. He kept us well informed throughout the process and provided valuable insight, guidance, and support during an exciting but stressful time. The project ended up better than we had any right to hope and was done in a timely and cost effective manner. Dirk treated our home as if it was his own and left it each day better than he found it. We came to value Dirk as both a professional and a friend. We would trust him with any project, large or small, without hesitation. We absolutely received great value for our money. You can't go wrong working with Dirk Drummond and Mountain Valley Renovations."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire.
Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
Tile costs vary by material; for example, ceramic tends to be more affordable than stone. These influence installation timelines and skill requirements.
You can expect it to take three to four days to fully install a kitchen backsplash—most of the time, waiting for the mortar and grout to dry. The actual process of putting up tiles is relatively quick. You’ll spend a fair amount of time laying out the tiles, ensuring they’re perfectly aligned. Also, if you have to remove the current backsplash, that will also add time to your project.
No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.
