"Matt was professional and customer focused. He was very pleasant to work with and knowledgeable about all the work I requested. He quickly provided a quote and worked with me through the entire process. I thought it would be challenging because I live out of state and needed work done in my home 2,000 miles away. Being a Veteran I'm accustomed to working long distance with contractors and it has never seemed to go smoothly. Matt made the entire process easy! Matt, Not only was a pleasant to work with and provided excellent customer service, the quality of his work was amazing. During the time that he was working I would occasionally check in on the cameras mounted around the house and Matt was on the job from start to finish. The look and quality from just the appearance was amazing. I had my brother inspect everything and was told that the quality was even better than it looked, which already looked amazing. I plan on using Matt for any work I need done large or small."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
It’s best to install a shower door after the bathroom tile is in place to ensure you have accurate measurements. If you try installing a shower door first, the tile might be too thick to install afterward, or the tile will be too thin and create a gap between the shower doors that allows water to leak. With the tile in place first, you’ll know the exact shower door size that you need.
You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire.
There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.
For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.
