"I called on Sat and owner told me who would be calling to repair the granite along with description and truck he drove to feel comfortable. The employee never called so called owner Sunday late afternoon. She apologized and they came out Monday as scheduled. There were multiple chips and rough areas on granite by the sink and the job done was very good. And the price included a travel fee of @75.00 and was still very reasonable. I highly recommend them."
"They were able to do the work immediately. They did good work. Because of the high cost of lumber, the job cost more than he originally quoted. I would have liked to have known that before the work was completed and the final payment was made. The work was done well and completed in 2 days. We appreciated that. This is a reputable company."
"Amazingly well. Romel is very professional, we had an extremely tight deadline to have the job done. Full remodeling of a kitchen in a 82 rooms hotel (Wingate Hotel Chattanooga,TN). He had all the tools necessary to get everything done within 4 days. We are very happy with the finishings. Highly recommend him. We are planning on hiring him again on a few touches we need (painting, bathroom remodeling, new floors)."
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.
Ceramic tile adheres best with premixed adhesive or mortar. If you’re installing the tile in an area with moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen, opt for waterproof adhesive, and if you choose mortar, make sure it’s thick because that is the easiest to work with and ensures the tiles will sit flat.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
