"Reviewed a few companies before choosing Green Home installations. They were quick to come out for an initial estimate - pricing was fair - and showed up on time for their appointment to install the fence in one day. Thoroughly cleaned up after the install and delivered a great product. I am extremely happy with my fence, the work provided by their install team and their front office staff. Highly recommend them for your fencing needs."

"We used this company before and liked the results, but this time around the quality was not as high. We were told - after we selected our stone - that there would be a long time between measuring and installing, due to a backup of work on their part, as I understood it. Since theirs was the only place we could find this particular stone, we decided to go ahead. It did mean a long delay in finishing our project. Besides that inconvenience there were several issues. First, they forgot to tell us to order braces for the island overhang -- good thing we figured that out on our own. Also, they would only let us use their custom made, expensive braces that would take several weeks to come in. Again, good thing we figured out to order them early enough. Then there was a delay due to trouble getting one of our sinks, which problem they finally explained to us after someone in their shop implied it was our fault for changing one (small) part of the order. Then the vanity counter was cut wrong, and if we hadn't noticed it we had to wonder if they'd have installed it anyway. No one ever apologized for the error. It was our good fortune that there was similar stone in stock (after we had been told they didn't have any more of this type). And the "white" sink we ordered through KSI was definitely not white, and we were told to go find another sink on our own. Which we did, and surprised them with how fast we got one. Makes us wonder why they, who do this all the time, couldn't do as well. When the installers finally came back with the stone cut correctly, and both sinks correct, there seemed to be a "chill" in the air. They were just not very friendly this time around. To the company's credit when I informed them about how this part of the install went, they responded quickly and were appropriately apologetic, explaining the circumstances which had nothing to do with us. We can understand how everybody can have a bad day, but it put a bad tone over finishing the project. The counters looks nice, but the trouble we went through along the way was frustrating. We may be looking for a different company if we do work like this in the future."

"Eric and his crew arrived when they said they would, began work immediately, including moving everything from the room, stripped away all damaged subflooring and cleaned up all the mess. The next day arrived promptly, laid new subflooring and cleaned up the mess. They returned to lay the vinyl tiles and had it looking beautiful in a matter of a few hours. I could not be more pleased with Eric's work ethic, professionalism, and efficiency. I would definitely hire them again! Eric even came back and provided and installed 2 doorway transition pieces at no additional charge! It was overall a great experience for me!"

"I’ve had Stefaniak Construction replace my decking and railings, install exterior french doors as well as windows, and several smaller tasks and am extremely pleased with how they all turned out. Will be hiring them for more projects in the future."

"Eddie was able to work when others were not. I was having old bathroom vanities removed and new vanities installed. In between these jobs, Eddie was able to get my old floor removed and the new tile installed, plus he hauled away the old flooring and an old toilet and installed a new toilet. All this happened with a minimum of down time for the bathroom. I was very pleased. The new floor looks great."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.
