"We faced a whole-house flooring install, along with removal of carpet and tile. CMH Flooring, Inc. handled the entire project seamlessly, from measuring for material to prep to install. The project went smoothly and efficiently, and we are so happy with how the finished flooring and stairs look and feel. The entire CMH team was great to work with."

"Quality Flooring and Renovations started when they said they would, and completed when they said they. Everyone was professional and very .courteous. The flooring is outstanding and installed well. We could not be happier with the installation and quality of the flooring. The cost was within our expectation, and most strongly recommend Quality Flooring and Renovations for anyone needing flooring. Very Respecfully, William Monroe"

"Les did an excellent job!  I am so pleased.  I had bought new tile for a backsplash in my kitchen.  Most of the contractors I called said it was too small of a job, and therefore quoted me a very high price.  Except Les.  The job he did was excellent, and turned out so nice.  I was very pleased when he said he could have it done before XMas, and he was true to his word.  I can't say enough about his professional job and how good it looks.  No  mess left behind, cleaned everything before leaving each day. He left grout samples with me so I could pick out just the right color. I want to have both my bathrooms tiled, and I will be calling him only to do the job!  Thank you for a job well done, I am so pleased!

"Rob was excellent to work with. He was a great help in selecting the best product for our home and worked diligently to find us the pattern and color we wanted. His 2 installers, Nick and Craig, arrived on time each of the 4 days it took to install our new vinyl flooring. They were pleasant and professional, and their experience in installing floors was evident. Their work was flawless. They were very careful moving our furniture around and did a great job cleaning up and repositioning our furniture. They also completed the installation ahead of schedule. I highly recommend Floor Coverings International. You will not be disappointed."

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.

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.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.

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.
