"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!"
"We used Sam to fully remodel our master bathroom and do some cosmetic work in our guest bathroom. We took down walls and started completely from scratch. Sam did all of the demolition, prep work, plumbing, electrical and installed some very intricate marble mosaic tile, for us on the floor of the bathroom and in the shower. Sam is punctual, responsive and extremely knowledgable about his craft. His men do incredible work when it comes to the finishes and he keeps a very clean workspace. All along the process Sam was present at the job and addressed any minor issues we had along the way immediately. You will not find any better bang for your buck in this area. I highly recommend him and we just hired him again to do even more work in our home."
"We have lived through many remodeling projects over the years and Looney's Grout & Tile is the absolute BEST at what they do. What an incredible find! Jorge and crew were so skilled, efficient, and kind. The marble shower tiling project that had once seemed such a chore transformed into an inspirational makeover. That is some serious renovation magic. Awkward shower enclosure becomes a showstopper! We cannot thank Looney's enough for this whole process...from the quick and easy estimate to the consummate professionalism of our star installers. We are beyond thrilled. If you are reading this and wondering whether to start that tiling project of yours, please take this as a sign to contact Looney's; you will love the results!"
"Pablo is a very professional and knowledgeable Tile Mechanic, as he calls himself. He called promptly when I put in the general request for tile work. He showed up the same day, on time. His quote was very reasonable. He ended up doing two tile jobs for us - a kitchen backsplash and a ceramic tile kitchen floor. They look absolutely amazing and I really appreciated his suggestions for tile layout and after care. I would absolutely use him again and highly recommend his company."
"Our experience with Adrian and his crew was excellent. Frankly, we had had trouble finding someone to do this work when HomeAdvisor advised us to reach out to Adrian. He got back to us right away, got us an estimate and got us on his schedule. Considering no one else had even responded, we were amazed by the service we received. We were very impressed by the work the team did. They took care with every aspect of the installation, making sure the tiles were square to each other, getting the grout right, getting the tile right up to the edges of our old laundry room. The room looks much bigger, brighter and frankly just more usable than it did before they did their work. I recommend them highly. Anyone who can get CCR to do their work will be very pleased."
"Faruk was amazing! Another contractor had done the original job but the results were absolutely horrid. The other contractor used day laborers (which they lied about) to do the work and it showed in everything they did. I ended up telling the other business partner in the job that I would not allow any of them, from project manager to crew, to enter my home again. So Faruk came in as a subcontractor. He reviewed the work with the business partner standing aside. I had expressed concerns about the work repeatedly during the original process and was ignored. Faruk could have done the same thing as he, like I, had a friendship with the business partner (who was an investor but not the person who performed the work). We stood in the bathroom and I asked Faruk to make an honest assessment of the work. He immediately noticed that the tiling on the floor had been laid down in a crooked fashion. (Something, that as a non-professional, I had noted but was brushed off byt the project manager.) So the business partner consented on that. But then we moved on to the tiling in the bath. And the business partner started to balk at Faruk's comment that the shower had "not been done right." The business partner then got the original project manager on the phone. I could hear the yelling from the other end, where the guy kept making excuses for the shoddy work. I fought for the tiles to be redone and eventually won that battle. My payment for the original work went towards Faruk's work. His results were exquisite. And while the stone flooring that I had chosen was not the easiest task he yet again came through in superlative fashion. He also: added trim to the tiling in my kitchen, redid the grouting on my kitchen tiles, re-adjusted some cabinetry in my kitchen, redid thresholds to my bathroom and bedroom, and countless other tasks. I will post more pics but attached are pics of the shower and flooring before and afters.
"The original project I hired them for was to replace leaky faucets in both the kitchen and bathroom. Frank, the owner, was responsive and professional. They scheduled the work promptly and showed up on time. Unexpected issues were discovered that required a second trip and additional work. They communicated everything clearly and the additional costs were handled separately and transparently. They also cleaned up after the work was done. I would hire them again."
"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
How long painted tiles last ultimately comes down to the quality of the paint job and how much wear and tear the tiles get. It’s possible the paint job will only last about six months if the tiles are in a high-traffic area and they weren’t properly cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to painting and sealing. Well-painted tiles in a low-traffic area should last at least a year.
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.
Taking the time to properly prepare your tile backsplash before painting and treating it with care afterward is the best way to ensure its longevity. While the tile can last for the life of the home, you may have to repaint it after a few years. However, using only mild cleanser and water to keep it clean can maximize the paint's lifespan.
Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.
You can purchase natural stone tiles from your local home improvement store or stone distributor.
Simply put, natural stone flooring is a high-end style that outlasts its wood and carpet counterparts. After finding a style you love, a stone flooring company near you can help source and install them for a reliably clean look.
