"I cannot say enough about Edgar Diaz and his crew. He tore up my wood floor and replaced it with porcelain tiles in a pattern to blend into the rest of the room – all from a picture I showed him. The old underflooring was poorly done and he created a smooth, flat surface for the tile. He took up tiles that were not quite right and made it perfect. I just love it!"

"The Babcock's have worked on our home over the past six years. From remodeling, to renovation, to repair work. In 2017 they installed a tremendous flagstone and brick courtyard which truly brought the house and garden together. The Babcock family are honest, professional, hardworking people, dedicated to pleasing their clients and a delight to work with. We highly recommend the Babcock's, not only for their building expertise but also for their friendship."

"Allstar Flooring in Santa Fe, New Mexico did a superior job installing a hardwood floor for us. They had to move heavy furniture for the job and they had to install wood transitions from the existing floor to the new flooring. The floor now has a solid foundation with the plywood subfloor and it is extreemely even and beautiful. Allstar flooring also hauled away the old tile and other refuse from the installation. Allstar Flooring workers and owner were all polite and helpful."

"I am so happy with the BCI Acrylic product. There were so many options to choose from. I have found it to be low maintenance and very easy to clean. I had two showers remodeled and I am very satisfied. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a bath remodel."

"We had our original, 31 year old cheap, fiberglass one piece shower replaced by Statewide. All the men that we worked with on this project were all very friendly, yet professional. The worker that installed our beautiful, light gray shower with modern brushed chrome hardware was excellent in his work. He laid down huge cloth walkways so he wouldn't track through the house. He was very careful and cleaned up everything each day. We are very pleased with the new shower and feel it is a real upgrade which will help when we sell the house."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

While you shouldn’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.

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.

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.

There are several low-maintenance shower floor tiles to consider for your bathroom. Stone tiles are easy to keep clean and only need an occasional resealing to keep them looking their best. Porcelain is another low-maintenance choice, as it doesn’t stain easily. Vinyl is also suitable for easy upkeep. On the other hand, one of the highest maintenance options for bathrooms is wood tile.
