"Brandon and Haley with Quality Flooring and renovations did an outstanding job renovating our powder room. They came and worked in our home on a holiday and delivered as promised. The old wood was replaced with new wood. They installed a new toilet and new sink and our powder room looks magnificent. Can’t recommend this company high enough! Call them today!"

"Williams was a pleasure to work with. They refinished a tub and the tile around the tub. They also refinished a tile walk in shower. There was a piece of broken tile and they fixed that as well as some holes where handicap bars were located. It is very difficult to even find where the tile was broken now. They did excellent work and performed the work exactly when they said they would. The prices were very reasonable and they were a pleasure to work with."

"Excellent. Darryl, our project manager, was informative but not pushy. He had great insight into the process, what we needed, and how to take care of us. He did not pressure us to incorporate unnecessary upgrades and collaborated with our homeowner's insurance for us, making the process simple, painless, and easy. The install went smoothly. They were able to install earlier than estimated (by about 2 weeks) and the crew worked very efficiently, completing the work in about 5-6 hours. My only minor complaint is that they left the trailer full of debris in our driveway until about 7pm that evening, even though they were done around 12:30pm. Even at that point though, we texted Darryl and he quickly got a crew out to remove the trailer for us. Even when they made a mistake, they were very quick to correct it. Excellent customer service."

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

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.

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.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

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.

Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.
