"We STRONGLY suggest that people consider other companies for a bath remodel. Our 3-MONTH experience was very stressful. The medicine cabinet was installed too low and we were treated like we were trying to rip them off when we asked for it to be fixed. The shower leaked badly and the tub leaked severely. When the tub was repaired it was placed against the wall and there is noise when getting in and out of the tub. Rylynn refuses to deal with it. The Rylynn rep does not use the word ?sorry.?"

"Our 20 day kitchen remodel ended up taking 6 months to be finally complete. Here is a list of just some of the things that were horrible about this whole experience. *used one of our bathrooms as their own personal one and work space and left it filthy. *did not put anything down on the 50 year old hardwood floors and ruined them to the point that they will have to be sanded and refinished *when we asked for all of the grout that was on the backsplash tiles to be cleaned- the owner said that I wanted them to go through it with a fine tooth comb. No I just wanted the grey grout off the white tiles. *when we asked that the nicks that they had made on the blue cabinets be fixed they replied that this was ridiculous as blue cabinets would show things *we asked for the painter to put 2 coats on and when he came back he only touched up *we had to ask them to clean the new tile and remove the paint and grout that had been left on it *the original thresholds they put down were pieces together and did not even match, we had to ask for that to be replaced *they took chunks of wood out of several places on our stair railing and banister *a new wall was put up and they left it with a gash and chunk missing *they left trash in our front yard *we had to ask them to straighten newly installed light switches and plates * they had to sand the bottom of a door that goes outside so that it would open over the new tile and left a 2 inch area where we then had a draft We will never use them again and would caution anyone about having them do work in your house."

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
It is not recommended to put a hot pan directly on a marble countertop. While marble is heat-resistant, it’s not completely heat-proof. Extreme or prolonged exposure to high heat can cause damage to the marble, such as discoloration, cracking, or even the breaking or chipping of the stone's surface. To protect your marble countertop from potential heat damage, it’s important to use trivets, hot pads, or other heat-resistant surfaces under hot pans or pots. This precaution will help maintain the beauty and integrity of your marble countertop for the long run.
Countertop overlays can be worth it for homeowners looking for an affordable way to update their kitchens without the hassle of removing existing countertops. As their name implies, overlays are installed over existing counters, saving time and labor. However, you must prep the underlying surface properly for long-lasting adhesion.
Butcher block countertops are durable, but wood is generally susceptible to extreme heat, so you should avoid placing hot pots and pans directly on a butcher block counter. This will likely cause some aesthetic damage in the form of scorch marks. Instead, invest in some trivets and put your hot cookware on top of them.
Yes, you can install a new layer of laminate over old laminate if you want to save time and money. The most important part of this project is cleaning the existing countertop thoroughly. Then, you will need to sand the surface and apply contact cement, after which you can install the new laminate layer on top. Other options for improving your existing laminate countertops include painting them or installing an epoxy counter on top.
Ideally, a pot filler should not be centered but rather installed to the left or right of the cooking surface to avoid having to reach over the hot area to access it. If this arrangement isn't possible, you can technically center a pot filler above the cooking surface, but you'll need to take care not to burn yourself. Also, the filler itself will become hot from a large boiling pot or stovetop.
