"After having my existing floors refinished very poorly by another company, I knew I would not be using them to sand and stain brand new unfinished hardwood that I had installed in the rest of my house. I had called Sal based on a recommendation from a contractor. He came to my house the same day and gave me a very reasonable estimate shortly after he left. He was very responsive and easily reachable for any questions I had before and during the work. His crew was neat, effective and did a beautiful job on my new floors. My only regret is not calling Sal sooner and hiring him for the first job. I would highly recommend him and his company and I plan on using them to redo the terrible job that was done on my other floors."

"Carlos was contacted to repair and refinish my granite kitchen counter but I discovered he had additional skills. He not only repaired my granite counters but also installed a new tile backsplash, repainted the kitchen cabinets, installed new granite and custom fireplace mantel and painted the interior of my house. His entire crew was very professional and courteous."

"There was no project too big or small that Nathan didn’t do for me. I hired Nathan when I first moved to Ossining in October and over the last three months he has been incredibly helpful to me. Jobs included installing a vanity; hanging mirrors, pictures, curtain rods, lighting fixtures; resealing kitchen countertops; bolting bookcases to the walls; but the biggest job was installing new recessed lights and relocating my chandelier as well as replacing my kitchen lights. Like I said, there was no job Nathan wasn’t willing to help me with. Being an older widow, I could not have asked for a kinder, more helpful or more professional contractor/handyman. He was respectful, thorough in completing each job, was very reliable and his pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend Nathan King for all your handyman needs."

"Hector and team did a great job replacing the curling seam tape on my vaulted ceilings. They replaced the tape and then painted to match the ceiling color, then painted my entire downstairs ceiling. The job took a couple of days and each day they left, you wouldn’t even know they were there. They were fantastic at tidying up after themselves. I added a before and after below"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
