"Were the only company out of 6 that responded quickly to my phone call, were at my house for inspection and estimate within a day, instead of 2-3 weeks like other companies. The owner came out and explained clearly (in layman's terms and with detail how they would fix the damage.) He gave an on-spot estimate that never changed. My fear was that he would offer the estimate, then nickel and dime me out of thousands more, but he stuck with the original estimate. He seems to know the business enough to provide an accurate estimate on the first visit. They came on time, finished the day they estimated and did a great job on the fix. The tile in the bathroom was not up to my standards, so I called Travis. He personally came out within an hour of my call. Agreed that the work was substandard, and completely redid the tile work for not charge. This type of service can be rare. It took an extra day, but they left the bathroom as if it were new.
"the job went great! The contact/responsiveness at first was slow, but they may have been super busy. However, once we were able to connect everything went great. I was super impressed with the punctuality in every visit. It's not often that contractors arrive on time as promised. But Harv Tile staff arrived as indicated every time, this let's me know they respect my time as much as theirs. They were professional, efficient and did a great job in the final product. Would definitely recommend them and will hire again!"
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn’t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles.
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.
Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
