"I had a quote within 2 days. My card was declined by by bank and I had to approve the amount, that was thee only delay I had and it was my fault. I had to make a few adjustments to my order, and I was requoted at least by next day. Shipping confirmation came after the weekend, and I had trim pieces actually arrive before I received my shipping confirmation. Shipping actual flooring to me was curbside, I would have paid a bit more for the company to place in my driveway if given the option. Everything was palletized securely, and everything arrived without defects. Pricing came in better than expected, and better than quotes I received from other companies. Great experience, I will definitely be a returning customer."

"Hi! My name is Julie. I may have cleaned for you and if I did I would try and give you what you paid for and more. I will tell you this that Queen of clean hounded me every day that I was doing to much and that I spent to much time doing my job. I loved the cleaning part of my job but the management/owner is all about the money and doesn’t care about customers service or their employees. I worked there a little over a month. I got hurt on the job and needed to go to the hospital. Kristi didn’t care about what injury’s I occurred… her response was you can’t go to the doctor you have to go to your next house or you know longer have a job. I’ve never seen a company deny someone of medical attention. Kristi is a money hungry person with know regard to her clients or employees. I drove my car all over the place for her company and I get hurt on the job when I chose to go get medical attention because I hurt my knee on he job and not only do they take my job but then don’t pay me my mileage. I have never heard of a company that not only treats their employees in this manner and bash them for going above and beyond for the clients. And to think she has a 5 star rating. Must be people she knows or obviously doesn’t know what she’s really about."

Choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile depends on your needs. Porcelain tiles offer exceptional durability and are ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Ceramic tiles are easier to install and provide more design flexibility. Consider your space's function, traffic levels, moisture levels, and your style preferences when making your decision.
To prepare your subfloor for tile installation, your pro will start by ensuring it's level and reinforced. A stable subfloor guarantees lasting performance. Your tiling pro can use fiber cement backboards or high-quality plywood to create a solid base. Proper preparation prevents water damage and cracking, leading to a durable, attractive finish.
Wait 24 to 48 hours after tiling before installing grout. This allows the thin-set adhesive to cure properly, ensuring a strong bond. Grouting too soon can cause misalignment and damage. If there's a delay, you can leave tiles ungrouted temporarily. Keep the surface clean and avoid foot traffic to prevent misalignment or cracking. This keeps your installation intact until you can grout.
you need fewer of them, reducing cuts and grout lines. However, very large tiles require careful handling and precise cutting, which can be complex. Standard sizes like 12x12, 18x18, and 12x24 inches provide a good balance between ease of installation and visual appeal.
