"I had a very positive experience with Dan. He called the same day and was able to come to install four outdoor lights. He quoted a very fair price for installation and looked at another electrical problem and fixed it for no additional charge. He is capable and competent and I will not hesitate to use him for other jobs that may arise. I would recommend him highly."

"As a military family, we have to rely on reviews to find good companies. I am happy to say that the positive reviews of Northern Light Structures are on par. In an area that has many unprofessional contractors, it was nice to find one that I can put my trust in. For those of you who are military spouses, this company will be a useful tool while the husband is away. I will use Northern Light Structures in the future for those jobs that just can't wait for a deployment to end. I am very happy with my experience with this company."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

Common problems include cracks, loose tiles, and grout discoloration. Proper maintenance prevents many issues.

Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

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).
