"JRA Tradesmen did an amazing job for us! Justin was easy to work with, very respectful and timely. The floor tile he installed looks beautiful. He had some ideas that we hadn’t thought of which made it look better. He is very talented.! He also started and finished the job when he said he would. We had a very small issue (not his fault) afterwards with the vanity and he was very responsive when we called back and had it all in working order very soon after. We would definitely hire him again."

"The person that came to estimate and the person who came to clean were very professional and answered all my questions. The carpet was very stained. After cleaning it looked great when it was wet, but some of the stains showed when it dried. I called the next morning and they came back that day and got almost all the stains out. There was one that shows just slightly. I was very happy with the cleaning, because I thought I might have to replace the carpet. My new tenants think that it looks great. I expected to pay an additional fee for extra stain removal with enzyme cleaner, but they would not charge me. That made me even happier. Great company."
"Geos was great. Got me scheduled within a week. Price was excellent and came with three year warranty. We took down a sliding glass shower door and converted to shower rod. Holes from screws we're patched and covered perfectly. You'd never know!"

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
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.
Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.
