"We hired Yuri to install new wood flooring in the downstairs of our home, from our initial meeting he was on time, and very helpful in selecting the floor that was best for our needs. He always texted us with any updates on arrival of wood and start date. He arrived daily on the time frame given to us, if by any chance he was running a few minutes late he would let us know. The work was done with care to our furniture, he worked in a very clean and organized way. When he left for the day, no mess was left behind. We are very happy with his work and will have him coming back for more work. I'm new to the area and was worried on who to trust, I'm so happy to have chosen him."

PA055967-James A. Munion had a start just like anyone else, at the very bottom. He swept up the work shop for a company called Dotson brothers when he was only 12 years old. Mr. Dotson said to James A.: “I actually can’t believe that you moved the glue buckets out of the way to sweep in the corners. The last kid we had never took the time to do that.” From that day forward, James had a permanent place at Dotson Brothers. He quickly moved on to shop hand, and was allowed to help create the laminate counter tops the company made. After only a short amount of time, Mr. Dotson had trusted Jim with crafting them on his own. Jim took to it with excellent initiative. However, after an extended amount of time creating counter tops, it was time to move on with his career… James’ grandmother owned a two car garage she rented out for tenants. The day he said he was going to start his own business, she, (politely as an italian-broken-english-speaking grandmother could,) kicked out the two tenants immediately and gave him his work shop. Since that very day, we have been running the business out of that very same two car garage. We have been family owned and operated since we turned the power on in the shop, in 1978.

"Jimmy, Anthony and Nicole are real pros who did a top quality job and with attention to every detail. The cabinets were built with care and excellent materials. I highly recommend them. "

Hello and thank you for your interest in my company. My name is Jeff and I have been involved in carpentry/construction since I was 15. I love what I do and I consider myself fortunate to have found my passion early in my life. I have always been adept at building and taking things apart and back together again. At a young age I was lucky enough to work under several highly skilled and trained wood workers that specialized in working with and without power tools. This helped to develop my skills of improvisation and problem solving. In 2010 I began my own company and have succeeded since. I take pride in everything that I do , and I am not capable of taking shortcuts or allowing bad craftsmanship to surface. I believe that my job has two sides. To not only perform the needed project the right way, but also to save the customer as much money as possible. And I always aim to do both. Thank you once again and I hope that we can work together.
"Do yourself a favor and get on Jeffâ s waitlistâ ¦.because you WILL wait for his services and you WILL be glad you did. No more honest, thorough, hard working, dedicated, exacting,â -did I say honest?â -Professional can be found. Heâ s a master tradesman and always looking for ways to make a good job even better. Youâ re the man, Jeff! And weâ re grateful that you have us as your customers."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.
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.
