We are a 23 year old Tile and grout, carpet cleaning company that is locally owned and operated here in Garland. We only hire IICRC certified technicians, who work directly for us, and we maintain an "A" rating with the BBB. We use a professional truck mounted system called the Pro Chem 405, and all of our solutions are 100% water soluble, EPA approved, and pet and people friendly. We will sometimes assess a fuel charge of $12.95 or more, depending on the distance we are travelling to a job site, and there is an additional service charge for emergency or after-hours work. We accept claims for all major insurance companies.
"Carpets were still wet the next day. It did not smell as if any cleaner was added to the water. Carpets look almost the same but without the dog hair. Meaning, they look a bit cleaner and most of the dog hair was gone which actually was my biggest issue because vacuums do not get I all up. Did not like that I was asked to use my bathroom. That should be taken care of before you arrive to perform your service & is not appropriate. I also did not like that I was asked to review them before they even left & right in front of him. This is a way to get a good review because people don’t like to say anything negative when you’re right there. It is unprofessional and a false review as the carpets need to dry before you can make a determination. Also, he knocked down & broke a picture but said it fell. Even though it’s been there 6 months. No big deal but he should’ve taken responsibility. He did give a small discount but this was discussed prior to the broken picture. Fussing at your helper and showing frustration in front of your customer is uncomfortable and off putting. The discount wasn’t much as the areas cleaned did not add up to even 1 full room. All in all I feel as though they were okay and the carpet looks okay."

"they did a good job so it seems. it was much later that I took a shower and discovered that the hot water side didn't work because the handle only went to the neutral position instead of all the way to hot. I emailed them twice, called them twice. I just finished 2 times with their online chat and was transfered to a voice line and both times their system hung up on me. I had already gone to Home Depot and they put an order in and so far I haven't been contacted."

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.
