Q: Which is better: porcelain tile or ceramic tile?

• <div><p>If your budget can stretch to it, opting for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/porcelain-vs-ceramic-tile.htm">porcelain tile over ceramic tile</a> makes sense if you need something hard-wearing for a busy, moisture-retaining space. However, the cost of installing ceramic tiles is less expensive. They&rsquo;re a little softer and easier to work with, making them a good choice for small, decorative DIY projects.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of natural stone tile?

• <div><p>Natural stone tiles are durable, heat-resistant, and add timeless elegance to floors, walls, and countertops.</p></div>

Q: Can I use thinset mortar as a floor leveler?

• <div><p>While you shouldn&rsquo;t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install 1,000 square feet of tile floors?

• <div><p>For professional labor and materials, it would cost between <b>$6,000 and $28,000 </b>to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that&rsquo;s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-vinyl-or-linoleum-flooring-cost.htm">vinyl flooring costs</a> just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you&rsquo;d pay $2,000 to $7,000.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile over tile?

• <div><p>The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project&rsquo;s time.</p></div>

Owner, Matt, and his crew did a great job in a very timely manner. They installed a new chain-link fence at our new residence. I highly recommend Salt Valley Fence Company. And I might add they had great service after the sale.

I'm not real happy with the windows. I think we get some cool air at night. There were a couple of issues. It took them a long time to come out here. They're cheaper. They should have given better information about the windows they're installing. They were good on price and that's what we needed.

Doug was great to work with and did an excellent job. It took a little while to get the quote, but when it was received it was very accurate. Doug and his co worker spent 9 hours on the install and took the time to make sure everything was as he had promised. I would highly recommend him.
