Eastern Surfaces has been fabricating fine custom countertops in granite, marble, quartz and solid surface products for both residential and commercial use for well over 20 years. Employing approximately 100 skilled, trained, and background checked professionals, Eastern Surfaces can fulfill any/all of your countertop needs.

"Do not hire this company and Lowe’s should stop using them as a subcontractor. They do not care about jobs done through Lowe’s despite them being just as expensive. Got very expensive quartz countertops. They showed up last minute 4pm in a 12-4 window and rushed the project to finish it in just 45 minutes. There were several damages to the quartz and it looked awful. The guy pulled a bait and switch and said he could come back the next day. When I called I was told they don’t know why he said that and “have no idea where he is, he’s busy” and that I’ll have to take it up with Lowe’s. I certainly am taking it up with Lowe’s but the company that did the job and received the money should have a little more pride in their work. If you do go through Lowe’s in PA, tell them you don’t want Eastern Surfaces."

"It has been over 5 years when this company did my siding. Left nails all over the place, covered up my laundry gas outlet with siding, interchanged the garage light fixture with the porch which they had removed to install siding. Did not use or give us an option for whole house wrap, resulting in poor insulation. Cut up big square holes where electric goes in the house, numerous mistakes. Called numerous times never came, once he got paid. Stank up my bathroom when he used it. Now my neighbor needs siding and we both need new roofs, will never call him."

"We had laminated floors put in by Empire over ten years ago and we’re extremely satisfied. I wanted another room and a hallway with the same look. The same salesperson came for the estimate. He said the floors would not have a shine and the planks were not as wide. He also said the quarter round would be “ the same”. The floors are much more orange ( I know exact matches are impossible) . The quarter round is also orange against dark walnut baseboard. It looks terrible. My son looked at it and said” who would do that to someone’s home?” I did say to the installer when he was done, ( we were blocked from the area until they were finished) I hate it!” There was dust everywhere, I was so upset, and we hadn’t been able to get to the bathrooms for hours. I just signed the form so they would leave. I emailed Reece Young from customer service and explained how dissatisfied we were. He had someone named Mike call me and tell me “that’s what goes with the floor .” He followed that with a series of no answers. I asked if there was any resolution, had this ever happened before, …? Of course no one contacted us after the job is done to see how they did. I was only shown a small piece of the flooring before they started and never shown the quarter round. We were also required to pay BEFORE the job was started even though they had a down payment. I would have considered paying part of the quarter round replacement ( same as the other rooms) but was offered nothing! It really looks terrible where the rooms meet. I will be contacting a contractor and paying out of pocket to fix this horrendous mess. Very sorry I wanted 5,4000 dollars to be this unhappy. I don’t think we’re fussy customers . If you don’t want to waste your money please be careful and learn from our expensive mistake."

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain installation projects in Reading, PA

Labor costs for ceramic tile installation range from $3 to $15 per square foot, varying based on your location and project complexity. Basic grid patterns on well-prepared surfaces fall toward the lower end of this range, while intricate designs or installations requiring extensive preparation command premium rates. Most professionals calculate charges based on square footage rather than hourly rates, with labor representing 60 to 70% of the total project cost.

For a 1000-square-foot ceramic tile installation, expect to pay between $12,000 and $45,000 total, though most standard residential projects trend toward the lower half of this range. This breaks down to $12 to $45 per square foot for materials and labor combined. Projects of this magnitude often qualify for volume discounts, potentially reducing your per-square-foot cost, especially when using standard tile types and straightforward installation patterns.

Tile installation requires significant expertise, specialized tools, and meticulous attention to detail throughout multiple labor-intensive stages. Professionals must properly prepare surfaces, apply appropriate adhesives, precisely cut and place each tile, and finish with proper grouting and sealing. The process involves critical waiting periods between steps for proper curing. Improper installation can lead to expensive problems, including water damage, cracked tiles, and mold growth, making professional expertise particularly valuable.

The 3/4/5 rule uses basic geometry to ensure tile layouts begin with perfectly square corners. Installers measure three feet along one wall and four feet along the perpendicular wall, then verify that the diagonal between these points measures exactly five feet. This triangulation technique, based on the Pythagorean theorem, confirms right angles and helps prevent alignment problems that would become increasingly noticeable as installation progresses across the room.
