What lasts longer: quartz or granite?

• <div><p>Quartz is more durable than granite, so it should last longer. However, it does have one weakness: It can be damaged by extreme heat, so exercise caution with cooking pans. Granite is durable, but it’s also porous, which invites stains when liquids are left sitting on a countertop. With this in mind, clean up spills promptly and reseal the countertops every year. Beyond that, granite can be damaged by a high-impact blow. </p></div>

Where's the best place to buy flagstone?

• <div><p>You can’t go wrong with locally sourced flagstone. If you're working with a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/landscaping/">landscaper near you,</a> they'll likely be able to source local stone for you and offer insight into how your stone will age over time. </p></div>

Q: How do I get uniform spacing between tiles?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: How many shower niches do I need?

• <div><p>The number of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-tile-shower-needs-niche.htm">shower niches you need</a> (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you&rsquo;re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.</p></div>

Q: How long do marble floors last?

• <div><p>Most marble floors last at least 25 years, and they can last forever with proper care and maintenance. As a natural stone product, they have the edge when it comes to lasting longer than synthetic or softer materials, but they can become damaged. Grit and dirt that get ground into the surface will wear away the layers of stone over time, so cleaning and routine maintenance are necessary. In particular, regular sweeping and annual polishing and sealing will keep them looking beautiful and prevent wear and damage. </p></div>

I decided to delay that purchase. I have nothing negative to say about them at all except the price was too high. They were professional and good to work with. The estimator was excellent.

My husband went there to give back the samples we had. The guy who drew out the plan, he was very nice. They wanted $50,000 to redo the kitchen. They didn’t actually do any work because I refused it. They just drew the blueprint. The cost was outrageous. They were too expensive.

Unfortunately, my review cannot be a positive one. Our experience was quite an ordeal. My husband was a contractor in New York, worked for many people considered millionaires, and always had a great working relationship with vendors and customers, alike. He is retired now and only takes on work...

"Kevin Zakk did an amazing job with a very difficult space. The shower is super small and he and his crew handled it very well. There was water damage, old tile, terrible pipes and ruined sub flooring. Had I not known about it before hand, I would have never know it was difficult to remove and replace in that small space. The work is excellent. The crew was so nice and never complained. "
