"When I first bought my house in 2018 it was very outdated and needed a lot of flooring done. I went online and all of the reviews for Frederick's were reassuring that they would take good care of it. My services were preformed in late 2018. I'd like to say I had no problems with the installation or service of those who came to my house. They were professional and even admitted when they accidentally broke one of my windows and paid for it. My issues are with the business itself. There were a few mistakes with the vinyl flooring so my husband made a call to the store in 2019 (less than a year after the services.) After a few calls we finally were able to get Nick to come out to fix them. He fixed one mistake but said he didn't have the correct item to fix the other one. He told my husband he would call him the next day or later in the week. We never heard from him again.. I understand he is probably busy running the store so we tried to be understanding and starting calling the store again. We talked to Mickie several times and were told Nick would get back to us. He still has not.. My husband has continued calling and talked to other employees and still nothing. His call logs on his cell phone show he has called over ten times now. It is now 2020 and I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that my floor is not getting repaired.. Several months ago the carpet started bunching and needs to be re-stretched but I'm afraid to try calling back again. It's very upsetting. I would love to say I recommend them because the products themselves turned out lovely, but customer service matters."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
Tiling over your existing backsplash is possible with the right materials and preparation. To do this, the existing backsplash must be clean and free of damage. If you’re installing the new tiles with thinset mortar, the thinset will fill in the existing grout lines as you go, so there won’t be any low spots. If you’re installing a peel and stick tile backsplash, you’ll need to add grout to the existing grout lines first to create a level surface.
Yes, you can tile over tile. However, the original tiling job must be clean, flat, and free of damage, such as mold or mildew. Removing existing tiles is time-consuming and expensive, so it might make sense to skip this step.
Remember that when you tile over an existing layer, your walls or floor will get that much taller, so it might not work, depending on your door height.
Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.
Porcelain and granite countertops can be similar in price, but it depends on the quality of the granite. Granite slab installation generally costs $50 to $200 per square foot, while the average porcelain countertops cost $50 to $70 per square foot. High-end granites, like Blue Louise and Costa Esmeralda, cost significantly more than porcelain—especially if you choose a high-end finish—but you can choose a lower-quality stone for a similar price.
Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.
