"We couldn't be happier with our new 4-season sunroom, and we can't say enough about the people at Better Living Patio Rooms! We've had a lot of work done at our house over the years, but the crew from Better Living stands above the rest. Once the project began, work continued - without pause - until it was completed. From Anthony in sales, Mike in project management, Michelle and Jenn in the office, and Frank and Justin (who did the work), they were professional, detail-oriented, and friendly. I highly recommend Better Living. Brian in McCandless."

"This company was awesome to work with. All of the guys doing the work were super polite and respectful. All easy going and willing to help however they could. I had some tile replaced in my basement in front of my fireplace and it came out looking amazing. They also did some demo to remove old paneling and put up new plasterboard and did a texture plaster job on the walls. It came out looking absolutely incredible! Also as part of the project I needed to have low dust and not a lot of mess since I have some pets and a young child. They accommodated in spades and did a really good job. 10 of 10 will hire again."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
Tile countertops are a good option for homeowners looking for budget-friendly kitchen solutions. To get the biggest bang for your home improvement dollars, ensure the tile you install is heat- and scratch-resistant.
The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot,which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot,which is about the same as porcelain.
Granite and marble compare well against each other in terms of price, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Deciding which one is better depends on your personal style and preference. Both materials resist damage like chips and cracks well. You should seal both material types against staining and etching, but they’re still susceptible if oil, wine, coffee, tomato sauce, or juice are left on the countertop long enough. As material and installation costs range similarly, the deciding factor is your budget, design, and preferences.
Slate is pricier than many other flooring materials, but it’s not the most expensive option on the market. For example, at $10 to $16 per square foot, slate flooring costs more than vinyl ($2 to $14 per square foot) and porcelain ($3 to $10 per square foot). However, it’s not quite as expensive as high-end marble flooring, which can cost up to $60 per square foot.
