"Reasonable price, installed on time (even earlier than expected) and very professional. Jim, the owner, professionally suggested some better ideas in of the layout of the tile. We are so glad we listened. The floors look gorgeous and the house looks bigger now. The same with the grout, he suggested a color--it looks great with the tile and it even ties the kitchen tile with the living room tile. Amazing work! We are very pleased with the installation. We definitely recommend and will use again for floor installation in other rooms in the future."

"They did a great job of repairing my tub which had some cracks in it from the installation. Was much cheaper to have it refinished than replaced as the cost of redoing the tile work was prohibitive. Caleb, the manager , was quick to respond and provided a very reasonable quote for the service. Brian , the technician, called to tell me when he would arrive. He arrived on time and did the work which turned out great. He cleaned up after the job was done and even came back in the afternoon to re-caulk around the tub. Overall a great experience. I would highly recommend Specialized Refinishing to anyone need a repair for a damaged tub."

"These guys are AWESOME! 1st my bathroom subfloor and beams were soaked total disaster. We decided to redo everything tile on shower, walls and floor. New shower new tub. They fixed the floor, reinstated, new beams. Put in new flooring orange waterproofing. Very professional. These guys gave me a fair price showed up early never late and worked like machines all day. They pointed out everything and never tried to take advantage of the situation or price. I'm going to use them for a ton more jobs. If you want expertise and reliability then hire these guys. They were done in 5 days as well and it was a huge mess to fix. 5 stars isn't enough for this crew do not hesitate to work with them."

"Randy was great at communicating with us, showing up on time for scheduled appointments, cleaning up after his crew and he did everything he promised with superb professionalism.
The 3 art niches in our home didn't match our decor so we wanted them removed to hang family photos and artwork in those areas. Similarly to the art niche work, we also had a 2nd level balcony that overlooked the den we felt was unsafe for our children so we wanted it filled in, also. Randy and his team installed the framing and drywall perfectly and the areas now match the rest of the walls seamlessly. 
Randy also moved 2 power outlets, 2 cable outlets and 1 telephone outlet for us for a better location of our TV, Phone and Internet connections. Those jobs were also done with great professionalism.
I admire Randy and his team's craftsmanship and Randy himself is an all around great guy! Several friends have come by the house since his work and commented that they would never know those areas used to be different and love the work Randy and his team did.

"Great job, and like all projects, we ran into a problem with a subfloor that was (can you believe it?) glued-down particle board. Thanks for seeing this through - floors look great, and the details like corners and around vents are very professional."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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 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). 

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

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.
