"Pyramid was recommended to us by a friend who has done a lot of remodeling and has priced granite in many locations in the area. She was right--after shopping around for a granite or quartz countertop for our guest bathroom remodel, Pyramid Granite had the best selection AND best price. We were looking for something that would coordinate with existing tile in the bathroom and it was easy to find several choices at Pyramid. They were very professional, helped us make a decision, came out to measure and delivered the product ON TIME. We ultimately settled on granite and our countertop is gorgeous--we will definitely be coming back when we remodel our primary bathroom! Ask for Temon--he is great!"
"Looney’s Tile and Grout did an outstanding job in removing my outdated white subway tile kitchen backsplash and installed a beautiful mosaic and travertine backsplash! It looks incredible! I am very pleased! Frank and Giovanni were very professional and polite, on time, and very good in communicating the time they would be arriving. I highly recommend and would use them again for future tiling projects in my home. Thank you Frank and Giovanni!!"
"I had tiles that had come loose due to improper installation (by someone else). William remove that tile and hardy board to clean up the bad installation. He put down a new membrane and tile. He even found a new tile that matched the old ones. Great job!"
"CCR-LLC installed porcelain tile in our garage and walkway that looks like wood. The CCR crew were very meticulous and careful with every detail of the project. We are extremely satisfied with their workmanship and professionalism and would highly recommend them. They did an amazing job and we will definitely use them for future projects."
"Omar and his team painted the kitchen, installed mural-wall-paper in 3 rooms, and mounted a wall shelf. They did a terrific job and were really nice and accommodating to my schedule."
"Excellent experience and superb work. We hired them to do a major bathroom project. Price was very reasonable, helped with planning, started right away, and put in the extra hours to see that the job was done right. We would hire them again without a doubt. Thanks again!"
"I decided a few months ago that I wanted to remodel a few parts of my house. I was recommended to talk to American Decorating by a co-worker who had used them and loved them so I called and could not have been more pleased that I did! I explained to them what I wanted and they were more than happy to help me out. After the initial call Jason came out and took the measurements of the rooms that I wanted done and talked to me about plumbing and how it would have to be changed for the things that I wanted to do. I stopped by the office and looked over all of the options that they had for paint, hardwood flooring, carpet, tile, counter tops, back splashes, bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and faucets. Within a few days the crews were at my house starting work. The kitchen remodel has to be my absolute favorite part of the entire thing! They matched my backsplash perfectly with the tile that I picked out. The granite counter tops are perfect and the new island that they installed is the most wonderful part! The flooring was installed perfectly and was exactly what I wanted. When they painted they were very professional and cleaned up after them selves like they had never even been there, except for the beautifully painted living room that I now have! The basement bathroom and laundry room closet are a great addition to my basement and the quality of work was wonderful. I could not be happier with this company and the work in which they provided to me.
I recommend giving this company a call or stopping by the office if you are looking for quality service from professionals!"
"This guys are the real deal when it comes to do floor restorations. From day one, they came in, removed the old floor and by date 3 the entire floor was completed. They are very friendly, professional, and transparent. Communication was great and there were no last minute issues whatsoever so ever. Price was also a big plus. I would recommend them 110%. They are super awesome!"
"Getting a quote and scheduling was a breeze. And Ivan and Alex were on time, careful and pleasant to be around. They answered our questions and made good suggestions. And their workmanship was exceptional. Our herringbone backsplash was not easy to do, but it’s been done perfectly. They left everything sparkling clean, too. Can’t say enough good to recommend these folks."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.
Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.
Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.
Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.
