"Tom at Custom Tile Solutions did a stellar job on the floor tile for my mother-in-law's walkout basement. Before we contacted Tom, we were in a terrible mess where a previous contractor had installed uneven tile with messy grout...not only did the other contractor's work look horrible, but the tile was sticking up so high in some places that it was a tripping hazard. Needless to say, we fired the other contractor! After we found Tom, he met with us quickly and helped us with a game plan for the best way to correct the situation (which in this case was to remove the existing tile and apply a self-leveling concrete before starting with the new tile). He was transparent and honest about the process right from the start all the way through the project's completion. And we are more than happy with the quality of his workmanship and the look of the finished installation. Also important, both Tom and his assisting crew member were clean, professional, and hard-working. If there's anything we've learned from the experience, it is that it is more than worth it to use a specialized professional for tile installation...and Tom is the cream of the crop!"

"This is a story about a carpet cleaning company that needs to clean up its act. If my experience is any measure of how they do business, my advice would be to look elsewhere for rug and carpet cleaning services. To make a long story short, they charged me for services I never authorized, and then held my rug hostage until I paid to get it back from them. They also wasted a lot of my time. Longer version: I spoke twice with a woman named Vanessa about how much it would cost to clean an 8.5 x 12 oriental rug which appeared in excellent shape, had no noticeable odors, and seemed only to need a basic refresh/cleaning. She gave me a base estimate of around $350-450, but said it would cost more if their analysis detected pet stains or other issues. In both of the phone calls I had with Vanessa before the rug was picked up, not once did she disclose that I would be charged for anything associated with ABC Carpet’s “analysis” process. When I was then given an outrageous estimate of $1,098 to clean an 8.5 x 12 rug with no evident problems, I rejected their services and asked for the rug to be returned. I was then told I would be responsible for paying $173 for a disinfectant process they used on the rug upon its arrival, allegedly due to it showing “beetle damage.” No issues were visible to the naked eye before it was sent in, but Vanessa said beetle damage was becoming a more common problem in our area, possibly due to climate change, and that this could only be seen under their special black lights. She claimed that disinfecting our rug had been necessary in order to protect other rugs in their care. This raises a couple questions. First, why is it the customer’s responsibility to pay major charges because ABC Carpet does not have adequate measures in place to keep one rug’s issues from affecting others they have on hand for cleaning? Second, if this growing problem of beetle damage is a real thing, as Vanessa claims it is, why wasn’t it disclosed ahead of time that I would be charged a hefty fee for disinfection if beetle damage were discovered during the analysis process? After a time-consuming back and forth that did nothing but increase my misgivings about this company, it became clear that I was not going to get my rug back unless I paid ABC Carpet’s ransom. Now that I have the rug back, and I am out $173, I am sharing this story so that others can make a more informed decision about dealing with this company."

"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."

A grout doctor is a professional who specializes in cleaning, repairing, and restoring grout and tile surfaces. They use advanced techniques and specialized tools to remove stubborn stains and bring back the original look of your tiles. Hiring a grout doctor costs between $200 and $450 per room, depending on factors like your location and any additional charges.
The best tile and grout cleaner is a steam cleaning machine engineered specifically for deep tile restoration. This machine delivers outstanding performance in removing embedded grime and restoring brightness to your grout lines. Professionals rely on this specialized equipment to ensure a thorough cleaning process. Experts may enhance the cleaning results by employing pretreatment solutions, specialized brushes, or chemical formulations to guarantee optimal, long-lasting outcomes.
Tile and grout are water-resistant rather than waterproof. Even with sealing, natural stone tiles are porous and can absorb moisture, which may lead to erosion and deterioration over time. Ceramic and porcelain tiles have high density and offer better moisture resistance. Glass tiles are non-porous and don’t absorb any water, making them ideal for areas more prone to moisture.
Plan for tile and grout cleaning every six to 12 months to keep your surfaces in pristine condition. Regular cleaning protects your tiles by eliminating dirt and buildup that can compromise both appearance and durability. High-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, which are exposed to moisture and spills, require prompt cleaning and sealing to guard against damage. Professional cleaning extends the life of your tilework and preserves its structural integrity.
Tile and grout cleaning is safe for your floors when executed with proper techniques and expert care. Correct cleaning methods preserve the integrity of both grout and tile surfaces by eliminating harmful buildup without causing damage. Professionals adhere to strict protocols and use specialized tools and chemicals to avoid over-scrubbing and chemical harm. This controlled process enhances the durability and aesthetic appeal of your flooring and extends its overall life.
Resealing your grout after cleaning is essential for protecting and extending the life of your tiled surfaces. A proper reseal forms a durable barrier that safeguards against moisture, stains, and deterioration. This step maintains the structural integrity of the grout and minimizes future repair needs. Homeowners who invest in timely resealing enjoy enhanced durability and a consistently fresh, well-maintained appearance for their tilework.
