"Ray and his team are miracle workers! Our home is a renovated 40's farmhouse with multiple additions. The basement (especially the "original" portion) had been pretty much untouched for decades before we moved in - we're talking junk, dirt, spider webs, bugs, etc. Ray and his crew did a haul-out of everything still remaining and then a deep clean with pressure washing/sanitizing. They also procured and installed steel shelving for storage and then organized the items we wanted to keep on the shelves. The basement is unrecognizable! We could never have accomplished this much on our own. The team was also prompt, polite, and FAST. I am amazed at what they got done in less than two days! Ray even fixed our broken screen door on his way out!"

"BUYER BEWARE: I purchase a custom door from Pella back in Nov 2021. The salesman was great, and he took a credit card payment for half the amount (3750.00) before leaving and scheduled my install for June 2022. There was a delay in getting the door put in, but the day that it was put in, 2 men showed up. One was younger and the other was an older gentleman. The older gentleman did not speak English, so I communicated through the younger man during the process of install. When install was over, the younger man asked how I wanted to pay. I stated that I wanted to pay with credit card. He informed me it was too late in the day to pay with card (Why didn’t he ask me prior to them shutting off payments? How would I know there was a deadline when I paid the deposit even later during the initial payment?). He asked if I had a check, and I stated no, that my checkbook was at the barn where my daughters horse is located. He mentioned that I could pay the next day over the phone, but it really needed to be settled that day. So, I went into the safe and got out 4000.00 I had from selling our previous family horse a few months prior. I put the money in an envelope and walked it outside. The older man was loading trash and debris into the back on the truck, and I handed him the envelope and told him thank you. The envelope contained the payment and a 250.00 tip, due to the guys working outside in the heat all day. He shook his head and smiled and we went our separate ways. About a week later I get a phone call from Pella asking for my payment. I explained that I gave the older man cash, and the situation. They stated that they would check with the installers and get back to me. To my surprise, they called back and said they didn’t have the money!!! I was shocked! I told them that the man was loading trash when we gave it to him, so maybe it ended up in the back of the truck. They checked into that, and found out that it had not. At this point I am starting to realize I was stolen from by Pella employees/contractors. Did the guy not tell me about the credit card machine so I would have to pay another way? Did the man I gave the money to think it was all a tip because he couldn’t speak English and didn’t understand me? I am very upset. About a week later I get a call from someone from corporate telling me I have to pay the balance or they will be taking me to court! WHAT? Your installers stole from me, and now you are requiring me to PAY again? I am just a single person, this is a HUGE company. 3750.00 is make or break for my family. This company makes millions. And they are coming after me for money that their installers did not report as paid? I am not sure what kind of company abides by this lack of morals and customer services, but I am appalled. I would recommend that no one use them, unless you want to be scammed, stolen from, or gone after in court to repay something you already did. DO NOT BUY!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
Installing new ceramic tile can certainly boost your home’s resale value—especially if you’re replacing old or dated flooring. In fact, adding a new bathroom floor delivers a 56.4% return on investment (ROI). In some cases, though, this project can offer as much as 100% ROI. Not only can fresh ceramic tile give your home a more modern look, but it’s also water-resistant and easy to clean, which most homebuyers appreciate.
Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.
Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.
When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.
