"My husband and I were redoing the downstairs of our home as well as the bathroom. I asked Melvin for a bid and how much tile was needed. He and Lisa took the job, leveled the floor where it needed and did a beautiful job. We had a compass rose put in by our front door which they cut each piece out and placed accordingly. Melvin also tiled the bathroom shower and sink and did a superb job. We wanted to add some fish to the shower for our kids, so we picked a few photos out of some tropical fish and Lisa drew some up then proceeded to cut them out and they placed them on the shower wall. I also had a shower that was remodeled by a different company back in 2012. Lots of mold has grown since then, so we had Melvin rip the floor of the shower out, fix the areas that needed to be leveled for proper drainage and lay new tile. I have no complaints about that project or any other he has done. He is the best around and you can’t go wrong with hiring him!"

Installing a marble backsplash costs about $2,200 on average, ranging from $600 to $6,000, depending on the variety of marble and the labor costs to prep and install. Common types of marble used for backsplashes include:

Grade B: Minor flaws such as pits, fissures, or blotches
Grade C: Minor and major flaws like chipping and cracks requiring repair
Grade D: Significant damage needing repair, with dark veining and pronounced colors
Installing granite kitchen countertops costs about $3,250, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the quantity and quality of the granite, use of granite tile or granite slabs, the type of granite, and its color and texture. Varieties of granite include:

There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
