"Vincent played a vital part in the creation of an intricate design using tile and granite for the master bath steam shower. The job also included custom tile throughout the home. He was extremely detailed and is definitely a master tile setter. The results are stunning, and will be included on the 2024 Salem Tour of Homes. Vincent has my highest recommendations."
"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."
"Excellent communication, showed up on time. Good quality work, attention to detail, and went above and beyond to ensure our deck and sidewalks were spotless after cleaning the roof and gutters. Would hire again."
"Very pleased with the service provided by Tolgar's. They went the extra mile to make sure all was done to my complete satisfaction. Love the products they use (I don't do chemical cleaners or fragrances), their can-do attitude, and the quality of work they did for cleaning the home. They were also very accommodating of my schedule and preferences. Will definitely be using them again."
Grout Tile Cleaners questions, answered by experts
Clean your silicone caulk at least once a month to prevent mold and dirt buildup. In high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, you may want to clean more frequently, such as every two weeks, to maintain the caulk’s integrity and prevent potential water damage. Regular cleaning ensures that your caulk remains effective and your home stays mold-free and well-maintained.
Yes, you can use household cleaners on silicone caulk, but opt for mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Solutions like vinegar and water are effective for tackling mold and dirt. Avoid cleaners containing ammonia or harsh chemicals because they can damage the caulk. Always test a small area first to ensure the cleaner doesn’t cause any adverse effects.
Before you begin caulking a shower, you’ll need to use a utility knife or solvent to remove the old caulk and inspect the area for mold. If needed, take appropriate steps to get rid of the mold, then wipe everything down with dish soap and warm water before letting it dry completely. Finally, surround the caulking area with two strips of blue painter’s tape—one above the joint where you’re caulking and another below it.
While it’s still best to install waterproofing materials behind the tiles, you can still add better water protection to your shower without any demo work. Start by softening and removing old grout and installing new grout, then seal the grout and caulk the shower to help seal any gaps and prevent leaks.
No, you cannot use bleach on Dekton. Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning and treating Dekton. Such chemicals are unnecessary since Dekton is highly stain-resistant and nonporous. Instead, use a mild solution of water and soap or vinegar when cleaning your Dekton countertops and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
