"The experience that we had with Appenfeldt Flooring was excellent from the start , Nick called me set up an appointment for the next day he very professional and explained every little detail from the measurements to picking out flooring, and the install . We are very very happy with our new floor and it’s nothing short of excellent workmanship. I highly recommend Appenfeldt for all your floors ."
"Our sales agent, Mary and the gentlemen who installed the carpet were so great to work with. They were kind, professional and hard working! I would definitely like that entire team again if I need Carpets!"
"We had the tile resurfaced in a large walk-in shower and neighboring spa tub surround. Did two different colors and the job took 4 days. The 1 and 4th days were partial days, Jeremy the technician did an excellent job...was on time and considerate. We are very happy with the work that was done and the finished product."
"Scott was super fast. He came for the estimate and was able to get us in the next day (or we would have had to wait for 3+ weeks). We have gotten many compliments on the tile."
"Great! They spent 2 days repairing a poor roofing job that lead to our leaking and a several nests of wasps invading house. They also did a great job cleaning our gutters this spring.
They will be returning next spring for another issue we need addressed.
We were very happy with this company, Ben is very easy to talk with. "
"I always use Fox Valley Cleaners because they are the best. We have our carpets cleaned at least once a year. They cleaned the carpets in the bedrooms and the living room.
They are excellent. I have a dog and three cats and my carpet is fourteen years old and it looks like new every time they are done. They are well worth every penny and they are kind of hard to get into because they stay pretty busy but they are definitely worth the money."
Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.
Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.
