"I just read the review in the “Remodeling - General” category dated 08/22/2017. I must say that my experience with Eric precisely mirrored those that were most eloquently expressed in that review. I am beyond pleased with the results of the bathroom remodel in which an ancient bathtub with its tired acrylic walls was removed and replaced with a beautifully tiled walk-in shower. As Eric consistently exceeded expectations in all aspects of this two-week project, I highly recommend him for your remodeling projects. As a result of the initial design consultation, Eric provided me with a detailed and what proved to be a remarkably accurate estimate of the costs. In fact, plumbing was the only item to exceed estimate due to a few hidden surprises that only revealed themselves when the walls were laid bare. Eric had advised us that this might be the case, so it was not unanticipated. The demolition phase involved removing the old bathtub, acrylic panels and underlying sheet rock. Also several layers of old flooring were removed. The resultant detritus was all quickly bagged and removed from the site. The hall and stairs leading to the bathroom were left clean upon completion of work each day. Eric amalgamates his intelligence, knowledge, experience, skill, and intense pride of work to produce an end result which defines the word "quality". I was continually impressed with how he could identify problem issues in advance, which allowed him to design and smoothly integrate solutions into the project. As the project evolved toward completion, his suggested a number of design improvements that significantly enhanced the final appearance. The finished tile work was simply superb. Eric engaged top-notch sub-contractors for the plumbing, glass and Wedi shower system (done by a certified installer). I noted that Eric was always careful to co-ordinate with the sub-contractors to ensure the intersections of their tasks and his went smoothly. We could not be at home at all times, but were very comfortable leaving him to work on his own. He was even careful to make certain that our intrepid indoor cat did not sneak out. If you want first class work done with attention to detail and executed with consummate skill by a really nice guy, look no further."

"I can’t recommend Clint and Footprint Floors any higher. We were feeling a little stressed with getting our tile kitchen floor installed and Clint made the whole process easy, and stress free. We had an old home with a non ideal subfloor. Josh was the installer, and he is a 10/10. The job was bid for 2-3 days but ended up taking about 6 due to a rotten subfloor. Instead of cutting corners as most would do, Josh replaced the subfloor and took the necessary time to make sure the floor was level and that the job was done right vs fast. Josh has an amazing attention for detail, and we couldn’t be more happy with how the floor turned out. Hire Clint and Josh if you want a perfect floor install for a very fair price."

"Had Empire install wood, carpet and tile in my house. The installers for the wood flooring were great. I need them to break it up over 2 weekends and they were very accommodating. These guys did a great job on the floor and made sure that all was cleaned up when they finished. The tile installer was phenomenal. He was very helpful with the pattern my wife wanted. The floor looks amazing. They did a good job installing the carpet but, I have never had an installer take all the remnants and scraps. If I ever needed a piece for a patch, I’m out of luck. All in all, they did a good job."

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.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.

Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.
