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

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

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.

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.
