"Absolutely GREAT. Knowledgable about my marble floors and made suggestions of how to care for it in future. Were able to buff out all the etching , repair the grout and cracks - and it looks GREAT!"
"I was pleased with the company but the results were not what I was expecting. I had my kitchen cleaned and I expected that the grout would be restored closer to the original color. I cannot see any difference after their deep clean service. It may be the nature of grout. but I did expect a different result."
"J&J was so easy to work with they were professional and finished quickly. The job that was done exceeded my expectations I would definitely hire them again and again!"
"This is by far the best general contractor I've ever dealt with! Unfortunately, quailty work at a great price is hard to find these days. Wayman Bro's Construction is not only fairly priced but the owner (Alma) is great to deal with. He was very respectful of my time and always pleasant, his crew is kind, personable and most importantly always did a great job no matter what project I hired them for! I would recommend Wayman Bro's to anyone who is looking for quality work and a good experience!"
"The renovation went very smooth I really have never hired a contractor before this, but I’ve heard horror stories.... so I think I just got super lucky. I was amazed at the speed everything was getting finished. He also kept everything super clean each day and cleaned up extra stuff that wasn’t his, I was really impressed. Everything was in budget as well not only that but after paying my total, at the last minute I wanted to add a digital deadbolt lock. It took a month for me to remember to buy one first of all, when I had it I gave him a call. He seriously came to install it the next day and after asking for an invoice he just said it’s on the house! Jorge is just a really good guy and I will always go to him because he made a seemingly stressful situation super easy for me!!! And his finished work is beautiful."
Engineered stone is nonporous, unlike natural stone, and does not need to be sealed. You do not have to worry about etching or bacterial growth. It is more durable than natural stone and concrete, as well as highly heat resistant. Engineered stone is easy to clean and maintain. You can wipe it down with warm water and soap. Use a non-scratch scrub pad for stains and avoid any harsh cleaners. Engineered stone can even be eco-friendly, with some manufacturers using waste byproducts or organic resins.
To remove cloudiness from marble, use equal parts baking soda and water to form a paste. Apply it to the surface, allow it to sit for at least two hours, then wipe with a microfiber cloth. Another option is adding a couple of dish soap drops to warm water and wiping the surface after you’ve applied it to the surface. You may also consider using a liquid stone cleaner.
You most likely purchased a quartz countertop because it won't stain or etch like marble. However, etching can still happen depending on the quality of the quartz and whether it is repeatedly cleaned with harsh chemicals or exposed to acidic spills. Remember, while quartz is more resistant than natural stone, just like Superman when faced with Kryptonite, it is not indestructible.
Use a pH-balanced cleaner, avoid abrasive materials, and reseal porous stones like granite annually to maintain durability.
Yes, Corian® and other solid surface countertops can be cut with standard woodworking tools like a circular saw or a jigsaw, but using the correct blade is crucial for the best results.
The recommended blade is a tungsten carbide-tipped blade, often called a solid-surface planer or triple chip grind blade. This type of blade is hard enough to cut through the material effectively. For a jigsaw, a fine-tooth down-cutting blade should be used.
It is important to note that a diamond blade is not necessary. Diamond blades are designed for harder materials like natural stone, concrete, or brick, and Corian is not a natural stone.
Using blades designed for wood is not recommended as they can cause microfractures that weaken the countertop's edges. While a tungsten carbide blade provides a much cleaner cut, the resulting edge will still be rough and must be sanded and smoothed to prevent microfractures from developing over time.
