"Matt, Nick and team did an amazing job cleaning the tile/ grout and carpets. What a difference. I am thoroughly satisfied with the way it all turned out . Thank You"
"Had flooring installed in January 2024. Came to home on time and did an excellent job. Polite workers, and cleaned up when they left. Should I need flooring again, would call again and definitely recommend them to anyone."
"Every appointment was on time. People for templates and installation were professional and efficient. How they fixed the chip on existing granite countertop was absolutely above expectation."
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
"He took over for another contractor who didn't do good. They're A -- Number One, the best in every way. He's very honest and reasonable in price. He's a very good and conscientious worker. Anything and everything you would want in a contractor, this kid is. He quoted a price for the mold removal and it ended up being more. We said we would pay the difference, but he said he quoted us a price and he was going to stick with it. He shows a lot of integrity. He's very, very honest. He's familiar with mold remediation and all forms of home improvement. You name it, he does it. I'm 71 years old and have been around. I know contractors and good workers. I don't know where he's been, because I wish we would have contacted him initially. I'd rate him higher than your rating scale goes. He's very good. When I called him, he came out that day. I would absolutely use him for other jobs. I feel very, very comfortable with him."
You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat—it’s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops.
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.
Tile removal costs about $2 to $7 per square foot unless you do it yourself. When you hire a pro, tile installation costs $5 to $45 per square foot. Costs vary widely, but they depend on the tile material (custom-made stone tiles cost significantly more than plain ceramic tile), location, and tile size.
When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.
