"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."
If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.
When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.
Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.
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.
Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
