"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

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

You can use sanded or unsanded grout for a shower pan, but sanded grout isn’t the best option for shower walls. For those areas, you’ll want to use unsanded grout, which works well on vertical surfaces and is less likely to slump than sanded grout. Alternatively, you can use epoxy grout for shower walls.

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.

There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.

Glass tile can cost as much as or more than other durable tile types. When choosing the right tile for you, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each can help you make an informed decision. The pros and cons of glass tile include:

Pros

  • Light-reflecting to add brightness

  • Waterproof and mold-resistant

  • Made from recyclable materials 

Cons

  • High cost compared to similar and more durable materials

  • Usually requires professional installation

  • More easily scratched compared to materials like ceramic and porcelain
