Wood Artistry did a fantastic job on our kitchen. We have all white cabinets, and the color had started to yellow, and some of the paint was starting to flake off. We also wanted to have granite countertops installed. Lastly, but most important, we had an island that served as both a cooktop and...

They were timely and the price was good. The technicians that came out to install it were capable of making changes on the fly. They did a very good job. Their price was competitive. I am going to buy a vanity granite countertop from them.

Jeff Harkey worked with me to ensure that I was able to get the countertops I wanted rather than trying to suggest I choose a different countertop from his stock like all of the other granite places I had gone to had done. I was very happy about this as I had my heart set on the black galaxy...

Scott Fisher sent two of his workers to my house and they installed the kitchen sink and made sure it was secured to my new granite countertop. They also moved an island-sized slab of granite from outside my house and placed it in front of the fireplace in my living room for me. Thanks, guys!

The new tile installation went very well and I would highly recommend him for this. Unfortunately, I would not recommend him for marble tile repair work as his workers damaged some of the surrounding tiles in the course of the repairs and the repaired tiles were not consistently smooth.

Every job has been excellent, except the most recent, where they miscalculated faucet location, and some granite in the wrong location. Bad mistake. Otherwise, no problem.

"LVP looks great and tile in the kitchen look great but the trim and baseboards were not finished and I had to have another contractor come in and install them. The stairwell was sanded and stained and I was told they could match the stain for the stairs to the LVP and that wasn’t true either. The stairs came out pink. Now I’m having another contractor come in and fix. I would not recommend to a friend."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts

Marble is very porous, so it stains more than non-porous quartz. Exercise caution when drinking wine and juice or cooking with oil near the marble fixture.

If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.

Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic.

You may be wondering what travertine is. Travertine is a natural stone found in mineral spring deposits and mined from a rock quarry. Manufacturers cut the stone into slabs and then into tiles or pavers.

The stone is tumbled in rubber or plastic-coated barrels to give it a rustic look or brushed with a wire wheel to give it texture. Additionally, polished travertine is finished with glossy sealants. In most cases, holes or pits are filled with color-matched resin, epoxy fillers, cement, or sanded grout.
