"The work these guys did was nothing short of spectacular! Joe, along with his father and son duo, tackled our project like pros?and with the kind of friendliness that could make even your in-laws jealous. Joe dropped by a month early for a quote, meticulously laying out his game plan step by step. His communication was so clear. And let?s talk about the tile I chose?it was like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded! Yet, they handled it with such precision that I?m convinced they might have some secret tile-wizardry skills. If you want a job done right, with a smile and a sprinkle of humor, these are the folks to call!"

"Mike was incredibly kind and helpful getting things done to code on our budget. He did our porch, firewall and kitchen floor without a big crew or making a huge mess. Highly recommend for anyone who needs a fix up or a bigger projects and needs to work on a budget! Will happily call him for any other repairs needed going forward."

"I cannot say enough great things about this floor experience. Scott came by within just a couple days of our request for a quote and talked us through everything, showed us tons of wood samples, gave us very professional advice and a quote for all the work we discussed. 1.5 weeks later the wood was dropped off, and the following week the floors were installed (took only 2.5 days for the install of 3 bedrooms and connecting hallway). Everyone was extremely kind and the work was done beautifully and efficiently. If I have more floors redone in my home I would absolutely go with Genco again!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.

Tile countertops can be an excellent and budget-friendly option for a kitchen, provided they are installed correctly. It's important to choose tiles, such as ceramic, that are heat-, water-, and scratch-resistant. When the grout is properly sealed, it will resist stains, making the surface easy to clean. Tile is also considered a sustainable material. For a cohesive kitchen design and added protection, you can pair a tile countertop with a matching tile backsplash.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

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.
