Q: What should you avoid with porcelain tiles?

• <div><p>When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my shower has water damage under the tile?

• <div><p>Although it may be challenging to assess damage behind your tiles visually, be on the lookout for these telltale signs that could hint at water damage. Inspect for an accumulation of excessive water near your tub and shower, notice any unpleasant mildew odors, or observe cracks in the grout. If you notice any of these warning signs, it's advisable to contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/plumbing-repair/">local plumbing repair company</a> to evaluate and address the issue promptly.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to have porcelain or ceramic tile?

• <div><p>Both porcelain and ceramic have pros and cons. Porcelain tile is generally more durable than ceramic because it is denser and harder. This makes it less likely to chip, but the hardness can make it slightly brittle. As a result, porcelain tiles are more likely to crack if you drop a heavy object. Ceramic is also generally more affordable than porcelain.</p></div>

Q: Can I update my backsplash without removing the tile?

• <div><p>Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-tile.htm">paint the original tile</a> to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.</p></div>

Q: Does removing tile damage the subfloor?

• <div><p>No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn&rsquo;t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.</p><p>If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it&rsquo;s in good enough condition to lay new tile.</p></div>

They did a great job replacing my front home window. The window turned out great even though the window design I initially wanted was not available for to my window size. I'll be using them again for up coming home renovation/repairs.

These guys do a great job. They repair my cars like I would if I had the expertise, i.e., they do the necessary work and don't sell you services you don't need. They found my problem and repaired them.

They completely messed up the service, and we had to get a new undercarriage for our car. They did pay for the labor for the repairs, but we had to pay for the parts which cost us an additional $700.00. I would not recommend them to anyone.
