We were very pleased with all aspects of the service we received at Rocky Tops.  The owner, Mr. Scott Thompson, runs a very professional operation, and was extremely helpful and cooperative throughout the entire process.  

I had never replaced countertops before, so I was very happy that Scott walked us through the whole process and let us know exactly what to expect. 

The first order of stone we ordered came from a distributor located in Charlotte.  We liked the appearance, but were a little concerned about the amount of fill in the slabs.  When the stone arrived at Scott's workshop, he immediately called me and suggested that we send the material back to the distributor.  He said it had a prohibitively high amount of fill and was not worth nearly what was being charged.  We agreed, and Scott took care of sending the stone back to Charlotte.  We were a bit wiser the next time we looked, and found some beautiful granite that actually cost us less money. 

Scott and his crew came out to measure twice.  The removal and installation was done in a day and went very smoothly.  We were particularly impressed with his crew and the care they took to minimize the dust and to clean up the kitchen when they completed their work.  The new countertops are beautiful,the price was fair, and Mr. Thompson was great to work with.  We would recommend Rocky Tops for this type of work without reservation.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.
