Q: What is the life span of porcelain countertops?

• <div><p>Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you&rsquo;ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.</p></div>

Q: What lasts longer: tile or laminate?

• <div><p>Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-choose-tile-your-remodel.htm">Porcelain tile </a>can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they&rsquo;re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.</p></div>

Q: What are the four basic tools used in tile installation?

• <div><p>There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.</p></div>

Q: Can you lay tile and grout the same day?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don&rsquo;t wait.</p></div>

Q: What can I use instead of tile spacers?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you&rsquo;ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set. </p></div>

The boys from Andersen came in and did their job quickly and installed the five windows we ordered with no problem. They seem to be working very well. I only wish they had advised us on how to stain/paint/treat the wooden frames. But it was a job well done.

"We were very pleased with Connelly Flooring. Travis was responsive, returned phone calls, text messages and emails. They started project when it was scheduled, showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, and kept us informed of progress. Travis had creative flooring ideas and completed the project to our high expectations. We had some issues with materials that were unrelated to Connelly Flooring, and Travis and his wife helped us work through the issues and saw the project through to the end. The workmanship from Connelly's Flooring is second to none. We highly recommend them for your flooring needs."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
