"Jesse drywalled a bathroom and utility area, repaired the ceiling and painted. When he was done it looked new again. Great work, on time and he stuck to his original bid. It was a much bigger job than I even thought once all the damaged drywall was removed."
"From the initial estimate and quote to the actual execution of the work, Pedro and his team did a fantastic job. They were diligent, consistently on time, accommodating of our requests, and completed the basement finishing—approximately 700 sq ft—in just three weeks. We couldn’t believe the pace of their work. The quality was excellent. Keep up the great work, Pedro!"
"When Zane first answered my query about doing this tile job he was extremely communicative the entire time as we planned the job. He said he had an opening in just a few days if I could make my decisions about exactly what I wanted, He arrived this morning, did a great set up to keep the room clean through the process, the two of us discussed a couple approaches to the project and then he proceeded to work hard all day to bring it to fruition. I would recommend Zane to anyone who needs a home remodeling project."
"our handyman installer was very customer service oriented, friendly and easy to work with. he did the whole project uninstalling and installing the microwave over-the-range appliance in less than an hour (40-45 min). I really appreciated that Mr. Handyman offered the haul-away service of the old appliance that the other home handyman services I was considering did not. overall, it was excellent--a professional and efficient home installation service. the cost was also comparable with what Home Depot was charging. I will definitely keep Mr. Handyman in mind for any upcoming home projects we may need."
"If you’re looking for a contractor tackle any home remodeling project, I highly recommend C&C Home Remodeling. They recently built my new garage and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the first meeting to the final walk-through, their team was professional, honest, and easy to work with (even if I wasn’t - LOL). Communication was excellent, the quality of craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and they paid attention to the little details that make the big difference. The project stayed organized, the worksite was kept clean, and the finished garage looks fantastic. I’m in real estate so I know that It’s hard to find a contractor that shows up when they say they will, takes pride in the work, and truly cares about customer satisfaction, but C&C delivered on all three. I would absolutely use them again for a future project and wouldn’t hesitate recommending them to anyone looking for any home construction projects."
"David did a great job on this project, very clear communication and it was obvious he cared about quality. I would gladly hire him again for a future project."
"Have used them several times for carpet installation and tile flooring. Always a good experience. Great products and looks great. Very professional sales people and installers who are quite efficient."
"I hired them for multiple projects many different times. Always on time and reliable service. They work clean and always had the job done. Highly recommended."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor.
If you’re handling your tile removal yourself, seal the room using painter’s tape and heavy-duty contractor bags to prevent dust and shards from escaping. Use a claw hammer or a pry bar and a mallet to get behind the tile and pry it away from the floor or wall. Once your tiles are all removed, sweep everything into contractor bags for disposal, being careful not to overfill them. Make sure you wear a dust mask, safety goggles, and work gloves to keep yourself safe from injury while you work.
Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can paint the original tile to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.
Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.
