"The original contract was signed 4/21/14.  Work began around 7/01/14. I had to call them to ask when they were starting the job.  
Bathroom:  I designed a large shower, 6 feet wide.  The main ceramic tiles are 22" x 22" and resemble light granite.  There is a vertical mural on the back wall of (3) 20" x 20" tiles that look like dark highly grained stone.  A 4" border of multicolor dark/light mosiac surrounds the mural and ties the light stone to the dark mural.  The original border created a major problem.  The sample glass tile was on a brown background, but after installation, some tiles were blue and did not match the other tile.  The border was removed, another border was chosen and installed.  After some unexpected delays, the end result is exactly what I had envisioned and looks fabulous.  It really has a Wow factor.  The plumbing fixtures are brushed nickel with a shower head and hand shower.  Mike, the installer is very good at his job and easy to work with.  Mike also removed the popcorn ceiling from the bathroom.  What a messy job that was!  He did an excellent job on the completed ceiling.  I chose two vanity lights for over the sinks that had slate backs that matched the mural shower tile.  Two large mirrors were installed.  Mike did an outstanding job.  
Deck:  Initially the deck (10' x 30') was to be power washed and stained.  After power washing, (deck is 19 years old) an old sap problem surfaced again.  Something else had to be done.  Only staining  the deck would not work.  I did some research and found a beautiful deck tile of cumaru exotic hardwood from www.advantagelumber.com.  The product is beautiful and much better quality than some of the composite decking.  AND less expensive.  Advantage Lumber was great to deal with.  A pallet of cumaru deck tiles was ordered and shipped.  Don and Toby were the men working on that project.  The old deck boards were removed  and additional joists were installed to accommodate the tile connectors.  Don was called to another job and Toby finished the deck.  Toby did an outstanding job of cutting and fitting the tiles around the posts.  The steps and landing were done in solid Cumaru boards.  After installation, Toby rolled on IPE oil.  This brought out the true beauty of the wood.  The end result is a remarkably beautiful deck surface.  
I am extremely pleased with the workmanship and materials used.  The total cost was about $24,000, with the bathroom work costing around $16,000 and the deck about $8,000.  The total included $6,500 in materials I purchased outside the contract.
The workmen were respectful and easily adjusted to working with a woman.  They asked my opinion at each step and took in stride the changes in plans.

"My wife and I spent a day going to numerous Granite countertop suppliers in Nashville. The Last stop was MC Granite. Hylton was my salesperson. He answered all of our questions and told us how they operated, then let us walk thru their massive collection of slabs, to chose our granite. He told us how to read the pricing on the slabs. We chose our Granite and left. 
 When we were ready for them to Template our Kitchen, I called Hylton and made the appointment for my template and an install date at the same time. Jeff showed up early and in less than an hour had perfect templates  of our countertops Island and powder Vanity. Hylton called the next day and took a 50% deposit. They called 2 days before my install appointment and said they could come a day early if I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn't take them up on this.  On the scheduled day they showed up early and prcoceeded with the install. They inadvertently made an error cutting my Cooktop opening, rendering that section of granite not useable. I thought to myself"This is gonna take another week to complete now". The installer simply called the shop, they took my template for that section, and cut another piece of granite. In just a couple of hours of the initial mistake, my kitchen was done! These guys were prompt, courteous and very professional. Great Service! Great prices! No I don't work there! But I will shop there again for my Bath remodel!

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.
