"David showed up on time, provided a well priced estimate, began the work when scheduled and stayed in touch with updates throughout the project. Would recommend and rehire"

The two men arrived on time and came in to review the work I wanted done. They immediately got to work. Once downstairs, they finished about 1/2 of my living room when one of the hoses sprung a leak. They tried to repair it onsite, but needed to go back to their shop to replace a fitting and hose. They apologized for the inconvenience (hey, these things happen) and they told me that it was a quick fix and they would come back later (from Cabell County) to Charleston and finish the job. The leader of the crew called me a short time later and told me he had corrected the problem and was on his way back. When he arrived, he immediately went to work and went over some of the carpet he previously cleaned, just to ensure he got all the carpet. I had moved most of my furniture out of the way before they arrived and this nice young man offered to help me place all my furniture back. He asked me to look over the work and see if I noticed any areas he had missed (none) or that I wanted to have another application applied.
I am very pleased with the quality of work. My carpets look better than I expected. I am mostly impressed with the outstanding customer service. Good service is difficult to find these days, but this young man is very impressive! He represents his company very well. I hope his employer is proud of him!
"Three days after presenting me a quote they started work. In my experience that’s unheard of. A 1 Renovation replaced the screen on a screened in porch and they did an excellent job. They arrived at 8:30am and finished by 2:30pm even though winds were fierce and it was cold. If I could I’d give them 6 stars. They’re that good!"
You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered).
It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
Tile removal costs about $2 to $7 per square foot unless you do it yourself. When you hire a pro, tile installation costs $5 to $45 per square foot. Costs vary widely, but they depend on the tile material (custom-made stone tiles cost significantly more than plain ceramic tile), location, and tile size.
The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.
