"We were very impressed with Mike and Don. We received recommendation from someone that knew his work. After we had a preliminary design for the kitchen, Mike came over and measured the space against the draft plans. He asked about the things we were looking to have in the new kitchen and made suggestions and corrections in the design. When we had the updated design, he again came over and measured a 2nd time, to make sure it was all correct and to see if we thought of anything else. If he didn't think something was a good idea, he told us so and explained why, which was really helpful. When we signed the contract, he took a small down payment. Because of the pandemic we waited over 6 months for the cabinets to arrive. But once they were finished, we agreed on a start date and Mike and Don showed on time ready to go. All of the sub-contractors Mike used were professional, but a couple stood out, the demolition team; Jose, the tile man; and Jude, the painter. Since we trusted Mike, and things were going well, we started adding projects as we went. At the end we pretty much remodeled the first floor of our house. We probably would have met our original timeline if we had not done the additional work. Lastly, Mike did not demand up front money, we paid as we went, which made us feel in the drivers' seat. My wife and I absolutely recommend Quest Renovations."

"Lou renovated my kitchen last year and I was completely satisfied. I called him back this summer to gut and remodel my bathroom. He was extremely considerate, and he treated my house as if it were his own. My house is small, and I only have one bathroom. The project took nine days. I was anticipating that there would be a big mess and a huge inconvenience. But even the demo was done very neatly and efficiently. Lou even took the time to re-connect the toilet each night so that I wouldn't be left without. Lou did an amazing job, and it was a pleasure working with him. Once again, I am pleased to recommend Lou for your kitchen or bath project."

"Anthony is the consummate professional. He worked with us to design a porch that not only looks outstanding but adds curb appeal and value to our home we never could have imagined. He is efficient, neat, completely open to last minute "hey we forgot but could you...", incredibly excellent at everything he does (he's also done for us internal painting, fixed floor planks etc) and most important is that he is just the nicest person with whom to work on home projects. Highly recommend."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.

Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.

Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.

To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.
