"Tile floors and grout look like new again and the carpeting not only looks clean - it smells clean and fresh! I also had three oriental type area carpets that were brought back to life - colors bright and clear and no shrinkage! All of this and a very reasonable price, too!!"
"Fast, professional and quoted a very fair price. I was blown away by how beautiful the work was, that I have gotten estimates on 4 other scopes of work at my home (wall, concrete walk way, refinishing uneven concrete slab addition)."
"Complete Floor Care Cleaning and Restoration did carpet and grout cleaning for me. They did a great job. They were accommodating and worked within my schedule."
"We just replaced our ceramic tile for 100% waterproof Armstrong Luxe Vinyl Planks. We hired AM Flooring based on his reviews and were thrilled with the professionalism, attention to detail and speed of installation. They removed my carpets and tile and also installed beautiful 5.5 inch contemporary baseboards . Amin quoted 10 days for the job and finished in less than a week. It looks like a new home!! We loved the work he did and his years of expertise so much we had him install mosaic tiles on my fireplace surround. Outstanding!!!! We are overjoyed!!"
"Sterilight is amazing! We bought a house that had been vacant and not kept up for at least a year. We brought in Chris and his team and they deep-cleaned every inch of the house, including 14-ft ceilings. They also did a germ-killing process, steam-cleaned the tile floors/grout, and cleaned every horizontal and vertical surface! All at an incredible price and in a very timely fashion. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!"
"I purchased 2x the original deal cause I have a lot of tile in my house. Made the appointment and they set it for 8-10am. When I called them at 10:00am that morning, I was told the appointment was 10-12:00. The technician was nice and was fine with his work. but when we bought the house the grout in the tile floors were really bad. The tech did try to do some extra cleaning of the grout, but the high traffic areas still looked dirty. I called the office and said I did not want to have the tech seal the grout when it was not as clean as I wanted. They were nice enough to trade cleaning the hall carpet for me not having them seal the grout. I did have to run a mop over the floor as there seemed to be a lot of soap residue. It looked better once the whole floor dried. but I still would not have wanted them to seal it. The truck they parked in the driveway dripped oil too. "
"They did a really good job. They were very professional and explained everything to me directly. Pricing was competitive and I got what for I paid for."
Tile removal costs about $2 to $7 per square foot unless you do it yourself. When you hire a pro, tile installation costs $5 to $45 per square foot. Costs vary widely, but they depend on the tile material (custom-made stone tiles cost significantly more than plain ceramic tile), location, and tile size.
To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic.
There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.
The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic.
For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
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.
