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!

"KF remodeling did a fantastic job on my kitchen and hardwood flooring. They worked with my wife and I to help pick out cabinets and flooring and presented us with reasonable alternatives that had the same look we wanted for lessor cost. They were professional and the craftsmanship is excellent. When we start on our master bathroom in the spring I will definitely be calling them back."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

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.
