"I hired Mike's team over the past two years to restore 4,000 square feet of 230-year-old heart pine floors. Mike and Chris did an excellent job restoring my floors and installing ceramic tile in the bathrooms. We had a weird project schedule, and we were able to work together to get it done to museum quality for this historic home at a reasonable price. Mike goes beyond the call of duty to get the job done and done correctly."
"He was responsive, quick, kind and did the job within an hour. He is reasonably priced and friendly. I will hire him again. He did a small job I just physically cannot do and I plan to hire him for more."
"Carlos did the quote for the paneling, chair rail, and painting the first floor of my house. He came for a quote promptly on Monday after my Saturday inquiry. He and his team came in, did the job right, exactly to our specifications. He worked efficiently and politely. He also pivoted mid-job with a reasonable price increase for the added labor of a tweak my wife needed added.
House looks great. Very worth the price he quoted for excellent services rendered. We’ll be using him to do our herringbone subway tile backsplash next! Thanks, Carlos!"
"We couldn?t be happier with the construction crew that replaced the vinyl siding on our home. From start to finish, they were professional, affordable, and incredibly well organized. The crew kept the work area clean and tidy every day, which we really appreciated, and they clearly took pride in their workmanship.
The project was completed in a timely manner without cutting corners, and the finished result looks fantastic. It?s not easy to find a team that balances quality, efficiency, and affordability so well, but this crew absolutely delivered. Highly recommend them to anyone needing siding or exterior work done"
"It has worked out so well for me and my family. And yeah, please do it all day. Please let me know if I can help. Please let me know when I get home, and I will be home in the next few days. Please let me know when I can get you. Please let me know when I get back. Please let me know if I need anything else. Please let me know if I can get you a text or text me or text or call me when I can."
"I hired this professional to install ceramic tile in my bathroom, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The workmanship is excellent?clean cuts, precise alignment, and a flawless finish that completely transformed the space. He worked efficiently, kept everything organized, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process.
Everything was done on time and with great attention to detail. I?m extremely satisfied and would absolutely hire him again. Highly recommended!"

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.
On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot,which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot,which is about the same as porcelain.
Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
