"I met Jill at our home and she took measurements and photos of our sons' room. We talked briefly about my ideas for the space. She provided several concept boards, for window treatments, furniture, and an overall "look" for the rooms. She also provided us with floor plans for each room. She brought paint colors, fabric selections, etc. Our first job with Jill was our sons' room. For the playroom, she had some pretty unique ideas that were right in line with the contemporary- but not too modern- look we wanted. She helped me with tips on doing some of the decorative painting myself, but also provided a few resources in case we wanted to hire the job out. She also helped me coordinate a subcontractor who handled a set of beautiful custom blinds. Jill tells me that in some cases she handles all the shopping, but that's part of the fun for me so she provided a list of links and stores for the items she chose. She gave a few choices for almost every item- budget and higher end. That allowed me to meet my budget while still getting some showstopper items, because we were able to save in other areas. Within a few weeks the room came together and got rave reviews after I posted the before and after photos on Facebook. And of course our visitors were amazed at the transformation. In the interim, we were redoing our guest bathroom on our own, and Jill was able to come into the project to help us choose tiles, wall colors, and vanity choices. A quick job that turned out really well considering the turn around time. A few months later we hired Jill again to rethink our living room and dining room. We were on a much more limited budget for both rooms but wanted to see what she could come up with considering some challenges in both the shape of the rooms and that I wanted to integrate some antique pieces we already owned. She came up with a brilliant look that blended our older pieces with a contemporary and clean look and we came in well under budget. Working with Jill was a lot of fun and we expect to continue to work with her to refine the look of our home. When I was considering hiring an interior designer I was worried about my low budget and lack of experience hiring someone to make these kind of choices for me. But it turned out to be the best decision we've ever made for our home because she allowed us to transform each area well under budget and much more quickly than we ever could have done on our own (well, we would have taken forever to make a decision on every item!). My favorite rooms in the house are the ones she's worked on with us. I just feel so happy that we found Jill Seidner."

"Edgar and his crew did a fantastic job of remodeling our 69 year old bathroom! Communication was great and the job was completed in the time frame he stated. The upgrade from a cast iron bathtub to a tile walk in shower is amazing! Don't hesitate, hire Precision Tile and Home Remodel to do your remodel today!!"
"The project included a purchase of a new fireplace and a remodel of the mantel and fireplace surround. I contracted with Jake of Scatter Creek Construction earlier in the year for a roofing repair/remodel and was highly satisfied with the project. This project required three phases. First the removal of the old mantel and surround as well as the preparation for removal of the old fireplace. The second phase was the installation of the new fireplace. The third was remodel of the fireplace wall including a mantel, tile surround, and box insert for the multimedia center. Scatter Creek was contracted for phase 1 and 3. A local fireplace retailer handled phase 2. Jake and I met to review the conceptual design and plan the work. He explained the work breakdown structure, sequence of events, and the expected time frames to complete the different work activities. The primary materials needed were to select the type of tile for the fireplace surround and the wood type and design for the mantel shelf. I did most of my research on the web, went to local home improvement stores to view the tiles and mantels we had in mind, and sent pictures and web links to Jake for him to provide the bid. He estimated that the project work would take less than a week to complete. Jake was hard to get hold of and, when I questioned if he was interested in the project, he finally got back to me. Because of the delay in getting the bid finalized we missed an opportunity for the fireplace installer consequently delaying the project for 25 days. I removed all the furnishings in the room except for the couch and love seat, which Jake offered to move. When Jake arrived for the room prep he was not equipped to move the furniture but covered it instead. My wife fretted over the furniture for the duration of the project. Jake was responsible for the fireplace removal prior to the fireplace installation. When the fireplace installer arrived the fireplace hadn't been removed. Fortunately the fireplace retailer worked with us and convinced his installer to remove the old unit for an additional price. Jake offered an apology and covered the costs but did not provide a good reason for the mix up. The wall construction and tiling was dirty work and although Jake cleaned up some at the end of each day there was still a considerable amount of dust throughout the house. At one point I had to inform Jake that the dirt left on the brand new fireplace during the tile and grout work left me pretty frustrated with the process. The job also took three weeks to complete which didn't seem unreasonable considering the work performed but definitely was disappointing for my wife who felt she was promised one week to complete. At the conclusion of the project the outcome came out just as I had visualized and what Jake had convinced me he could do in his proposal. I thought the pricing was fair, the craftsmanship was superior, and we are enjoying our remodeled living space. Although the outcome was a success, the process had it's flaws with miscommunications, an over promise and under delivery on completion date, and at times the poor condition of the area of the house being worked on."

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.
The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.
On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.
To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic.
It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.
