and carpet and walked out with acrylic luxury vinyl tiles and carpet. These acrylic tiles were a smart choice and I am happy for the recommendation. I am very satisfied with my new floors especially the tiles. The installers were very professional and courteous and took the time to answer any questions that I had. They were suppose to place the new tile on top of the old vinyl floors but notice that the old vinyl floors were only glued on by the edges therefore they would not support this process. The installers on their own decided to remove all of the old vinyl before installing the new tiles. Thanks for doing it right. Rite Rug also used Vintage and Design Plumbing to remove the toilets prior to the work. Good thing because they found a leak on one of the toilets that now has been taken care of with no additional costs. They were back before the installers were done to reconnect all the toilets.

They tore out the old tub, tile, floor and vanity. They did an outstanding job. I appreciated that they took their time and did a quality job.
Perfection! My bathtub is brilliant white and my tile surround looks like granite tile! It is so beautiful! They worked with my schedule and transformed my bathroom in just a few hours! They left no mess and were friendly and professional to work with!

"Excellent. We had several quotes before making a commitment. Our biggest priorities were quality work that we could trust was done right (no cutting corners) and timely completion of the project (no disappearing contractor horror stories), and that is what we got with Buckeye Basements. They presented us with a timeline at the beginning and it was accurate throughout the project, even ending a few days early. This helped us know exactly what to expect, when payments were due, and what days we needed to have decisions made such as paint colors. The crews were professional and kept a clean worksite.

"REVIEW FOR CARIFA TILE 2/26/2025 CARIFA TILE JUST FINISHED installing beautiful 2-foot by 4-foot tiles in my tub surrounding and it is stunning. From my first call to the final finish, I was well cared for by the staff at CARIFA TILE. Joe Dismuke personally reviewed and refined my wants and needs for the project with me.

"Complete kitchen remodel (cabinets, counters, sink/fixtures, adding electrical) and flooring replacement on 1st floor; new half bath vanity, top and faucet; outstanding customer support and attention to detail and quality by this team. They are customer-focused, adaptive, accommodating and professional. While there were delays as a major holiday approached, they did everything they could to complete this remodel to our satisfaction, on budget. There were also a few supply-chain issues but were handled fairly and the outcome was wonderful. Their showroom on the west side of Columbus is beautiful but their people (Roman, Diana, Daniel, Nazar, Igor and their team) and how we were treated also impressed us greatly. I really liked how they itemized each portion of the project where I could pick and choose portions I could do myself such as demolition and painting. This saved us several thousand dollars. I would not hesitate to use their services again."

Repair Bathroom Tile questions, answered by experts
Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.
The main cause of bathroom leaks is seals and connectors that loosen or deteriorate over time, causing leaks to develop. It's important to stay on top of your bathroom materials, as toilets, showers, and sinks all have different lifespans. Toilets and faucets last between 10 and 15 years on average with regular maintenance, but different parts may have shorter lifespans than others.
Yes, you can grout over grout. But you need to remove at least some of the old grout so that the two grouts can intermingle. The new grout will need to be compatible with the old grout. So use either the same type of grout or one that bonds with the old grout.
Clean with mild detergents, reseal grout as needed, and avoid dropping heavy objects on tiles.
Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you’ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.
