"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!"

"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."
"We love our granite countertops. The entire process was a great experience. J&M Tile, Granite and Marble offer very competive prices but where they stand out is the pride they take in their work. Our counters are absolutely beautiful. They arrived on time, very neat. Would definitely recommend. Barb & Mike"

We are so happy and will use Sam Home Improvement again."
"David repaired our granite countertop that had cracked due to oxidation of the steel support rod. He responded right away to all of our phone calls and texts and got us scheduled for repair quickly. He was prompt, reliable and worked very diligently. This was an all day repair job. He really takes pride in his work. We are pleased with his work and will be utilizing his company again. Great service!"
"William put up a kitchen backsplash for us with ceramic tile. He is a professional who knew how to put up the tile expertly. He was able to complete the project in a quick time. Thank you William"
"Balteza Group did an excellent job painting my home inside and out and installing stonework. They are thorough, careful and detailed. Excellent experience. I will contact them for my next home project."
"Truly, Mike Nicolas and Associates were far far beyond competent, professional, trustworthy, timely, and cost-effective... They went above and beyond and literally helped to save the day. I have worked w/ three "companies" in the DC Metropolitan area for tile at the very same location, and they were leap years ahead. They did what they said they would, and more, all with a smile. Aces."
If you hire a professional to lay tile, you can expect to pay $3 to $15 per square foot for labor. For a 100-square-foot tiling project, that would equal $30 to $150 in labor. These costs may increase if you need extra services (such as tile removal, wall repair, or waterproofing). For example, tile removal costs an additional $2 to $7 per square foot.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
