"From estimate to finish the project went very well. Pricing was less than Costco flooring (similar quality). Nate's estimate was done quickly and on the mark. The process of making our selections were the most time consuming and Annie was very helpful in helping us narrow down on what we wanted. We cleared away furniture to make it easier for the contractor. The project took a couple more days to complete due to the removal of stubborn tile in the entryway. The contractor's crew was very courteous and professional. They did a great job of installing both carpet in the bedrooms and LVP in the rest of the house. Highly recommend them."
"I highly recommend Marteeny and Sons. My project was an assortment of several unrelated things that needed fixing or replaced with new. Andrew was friendly, professional and came up with great solutions. I really appreciate Andrew's thoroughness and his attention to detail. He listened to what I was asking for and he delivered! He even cleaned the area after his work was done. I am so happy with the results!!!"
"I could not be happier with the service I received from Taran construction.. they installed a wood floor in the bathroom and kitchen did it all in one day and did a absolutely fantastic job... I will be contacting them in the future for any other work I may need to have done.. they were reliable and they cleaned up very well when they were all done.."
"Edgar did some various tiling work for us. He does a great job cleaning existing dirty grout between the floor tiles. Looked like a brand new floor after he was done! He also did a nice job putting in heated flooring and new porcelain floor tiles in our guest bathroom."
Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic.
For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.
