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!

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.

Professional installation ensures a uniform, durable surface, and proper sealing, and guarantees workmanship quality, preventing future issues linked to water damage or instability.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

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). 

Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
