"Josh, the representative that explained of the remodel was informative, professional and friendly. Carlos, Mike C., and Rafael were great. Professional, clean. and friendly. Answered my questions, and completed the job in one day, despite the large amount of work required to remove all of the tile in our full size shower and installing a tub. Happy is not a strong enough word to describe how we feel about our new bathroom...highly recommend!"

"After a horrific experience with another granite company that ended with them rudely telling me to go find someone else, I visited Angie's List and found Eastern Surfaces. A call to them revealed that they had the style of granite we were looking for, and that we could come to their location and get a plant tour, select the slab we wanted, and view other choices. 
We made an appointment (not actually necessary if you come during the week, which we did) and met with Lee. She answered all of our questions, and took us on a tour of their facility. Very impressive place with 10 CNC cutting machines, water jet cutters, and dozens of people making granite, marble, and quartz into counter tops. Lee had arranged for the rather uncommon level 4 granite we were looking for to be arranged so we could see slabs side by side. Even though these came from the same lot, there was a lot of variation from slab to slab. We chose a slab and she marked it as ours before we returned to the show room. On the way back, she pointed out the "boneyard" of remnants where we could shop for smaller projects, at greatly reduced per square foot prices. Back in the showroom, we were offered 5 edge styles, and she took our drawing and calculated a rough price. Even though I did not have the Angie's List coupon printed out, she accepted it by me saving a copy from my phone and then emailing her the copy. She accepted a 50% deposit on my credit card, and we went away quite happy.
A few days later, Joan contacted us to arrange a time for the measurer to come verify the measurements I provided. The granite was going into our vacation home, and Joan worked with us to get us on the schedule for a day that we'd be around anyway. 
The day of the measure, the measurer contacted us to say he was there, but we weren't. Apparently, he was sent to our main residence, not the vacation home. He was too far to make it to our vacation home (2 hours distance between the two), so Joan re-scheduled us for another day we'd be at the vacation home and threw in a large cutting board made from the same granite as a "we messed up" gift.
The second measurer, Chris, was super nice and efficient. He used a computerized measuring device, and noted the cabinets were not plumb at the front, and that I should get them closer than they were. Before he left, he showed me the picture his CAD system made of the job, and asked if we would like to make some changes (which he recommended). While we didn't take his recommendations, we did appreciate him asking. He had been an installer, and his experience allowed him to show us how the granite would be cut to fit our space.
We had contracted for the "slabsmith" picture. This is an extra cost service that Eastern provides that superimposes the actual granite slab onto the CAD drawing, so we could see the pattern of the granite as it would be cut. Since our granite had very different patterns across the slab, we ponied up the extra cost. Chris was there on Friday. On Monday morning, we got the slabsmith picture via email. We looked at it, compared it to our own pictures of the slab, and agreed that the technician who laid out the cuts chose the sections of slab we would have chose. We confirmed with Joan that we agreed with the slabsmith diagram.
The day of the install, 4 days later, saw the two installers (names forgotten, sorry) arrive on time, protect my hardwood floors, and bring in the two huge pieces of granite. One of these weighed over 400 pounds. They quickly got them into position, plumbed them using shims (the cabinets were still a bit off, despite my best efforts), and then epoxied the seam and glued the sections to the cabinets themselves using silicone adhesive. The sink, a Kraus undermount asymmetrical design I bought from Home Depot, went into the pre-cut hole and was bolted and caulked. The installers handed me the cutting board, and noted that I should put some feet on it before using it. They also cautioned me not to let the plumber at the sink until the next day, to give time for all of the glue to set. They answered my care questions (e.g., what do I clean it with? How often should it be sealed?) and cleaned up EVERYTHING. No dust on the floor from drilling. No errant nuts or bolts anywhere. The top of the granite and the sink were immaculate.
Overall, I am extremely pleased to have found them and used them.

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.

Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.

The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.

No, painting shower tile doesn’t last and is better reserved as a temporary solution to refreshing the look of old tiles. Shower tile paint may last around one to five years, depending on how well you prep the surface before painting, the type of paint you use, the type of tile in your shower, and how often you use the shower.

Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.
