Q: How do I choose the right tiles for my bathroom?

• <div><p>Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you&rsquo;ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching. </p></div>

Q: Do you grout hearth tiles?

• <div><p>Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn&rsquo;t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles. </p></div>

Q: Can you use grout and caulk together?

• <div><p>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&mdash;you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn&rsquo;t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.</p></div>

Q: What is the life span of porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.</p></div>

We hired this person to clean out tree roots from our down spout drainage tiles. He was able to do most of them and found some of them to be broken. We are working with him again to repair the damaged tiles.
