"Dave was right on top of everything. He picked up the sliding patio door for me and installed it. Quality workmanship and attention to detail. He is easy to work with and cleaned up after each visit. I am going to hire him again to paint my great room. I would highly recommend him."

"I called Allen on a Monday to discuss a leak in my roof near the chimney.  He was very courteous and professional, and even though my home was 35 miles from his locatoin, he was familiar with the town and was willing to look at the property to give me a free quote.  I offered to send him photos of the house to give him a better idea of the location of the leak, and type of roofing material etc.  This enabled him to have a better idea of what he would need to fix the problem.   Allen gave me a "ball park" quote over the phone which I felt was more than reasonable, and gave him the "go ahead" to do the work.  Two days later, he arrived as schedlued and completed the work.   While on site, I remembered another leak from my add-on "Carolina Room" and again, he gave me another reasonable quote.   Allen was very knowledable about roofing and knew exactly what had been done (or not done) which allowed the leaks to occur.  He even gave me a guarantee that my roof (the area he repaired) would "never leak again."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
