"As a staircase runner, the job was fairly straightforward. Only disconnect was between their (automated) morning-of-install phone call - which promised AM installation and actual arrival at 3 PM. Issues with edge binding machine slowed progress but they got it done and it looks great."

"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."

"They were on time, very courteous and very professional. I will definitely use their service again when the young man Brian was here. He also mentioned that he does Tile and grout cleaning. We set up another appointment to have them back to do that. Also, the carpets look brand new again these people seem to really care about what they’re doing. Thank you again."

"There was a problem with the floors feeling rough after they were finished, because the floors were so old and never had any finish put on them, but I just called Rick and he came back and made my floors look beautiful. He also said that if there were still any rough spots when it dried to just call him and he would come back again. He was very professional and the floors look great. His motto is that he wants to give all his customers "The CUTTING EDGE difference". I would highly recommend him, in fact when we are ready to refinish the other 2 rooms in our house, we will be calling him."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.

It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.
