A laminate floor we installed along with the tile.

The first laminate floor I installed was a “Fibo-Tresbo” floor back when you glued laminate together.  That was in 1997.  How the time flies.  Laminate has improved over the years and Fibo-Tresbo has disappeared from the earth.

Laminate is fine in homes that have little traffic.  I also strongly recommend you keep your laminate to the rooms that will be the least susceptible to getting wet!  If you have questions about caring for your laminate, just ask us.g

There is something cooking!

That’s all for now… We will be posting more frequently now.  We have some very exciting news coming up so stay tuned!

Tiling on Palm Island

We have finished up tiling for Mr. Goranson.  What a pleasure to tile for this fine couple!

I have uploaded some pics highlighting some fun and interesting moments.  It was simply fun to go over on the ferry!  There will be more pictures of the work at a later time, this is a new house so… there was still some construction going on after we were finished.

D&R Builders built this house.  We are very grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this fine house by installing the tile.  As always it was a pleasure working with them.

Enjoy,

Rob

P.S. looking forward to your comments!

Re-Tiling Floors in Englewood

Monday-Wednesday we tiled for the John’s in Englewood.  What a blessing it was to work for the John’s!  We re-tiled their master bath and laundry room.  They had some tile left over from tiling their main area.  After a reference from their neighbors who live in the same community in Englewood, they called us.  This job required us to chip out tile, which for most people is a VERY dusty process.  We pride ourselves on providing our customers with the least dust possible through a process we developed and are seeking to develop through a patent.

If you would like to have a floor re-tiled or have any questions, we’d love to hear from you!

Thanks,

The Top 10 Reasons to Choose Ceramic Tile!

The Top 10 Reasons to Choose Ceramic Tile!

(selected from TCNA Floor Coverings Comparison)

Ceramic tile creates dynamic first impressions. Even a modest area, indoors or out, can come to life with the color and textures you choose – making ceramic tile one of the savviest design investments. Ceramic tile is not just for bathrooms, kitchens or other wet areas. It gives you the freedom to create a beautiful living or work environment. Here are ten reasons why you should choose ceramic tile for your next decorating project.

Best Value-Ceramic tile lasts practically forever, increases your home’s value, needs almost no maintenance, and costs less per square foot than other permanent and long-use flooring options. Design Versatility-Luxurious and varied textures, finishes, and patterns combined with clear and true colors can inspire even the most modest “stick-figure” artist. Today’s selection of tile offers a limitless palette of textures, colors, shapes, and styles to create custom expressions.

Clean & Healthy Choice-Everyone knows ceramic tile is easy to clean and keep clean! It is inhospitable to dust mites, germs, and bacteria.

Durable-Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow, nor gloom of night, nor scuffs from little kids who sort of forgot to take off their rollerblades can mar ceramic tile’s good looks. Ceramic tile, properly selected  and  installed, has more than nine lives – it will last many lifetimes.

Rich Artistic Heritage-Conveying elegance, tranquility, and spirituality, tile has adorned our great buildings through the ages. You can connect to that cultural heritage through the richness of tile.

Water-Resistance-Ceramic tile is a perfect choice for areas constantly assaulted by wet towels, toy boats, and dripping umbrellas. Not only can installations of ceramic tile be waterproof, some tiles are designed to provide better traction, making ceramic tile a perfect choice for swimming pools, showers, patios, and other wet areas.* Low Maintenance-No need to worry about muddy paws, spilt milk, and stray chips of hot charcoal. Ceramic tile is practically maintenance-free, as it resists dirt and stains and requires little effort to maintain-just soap and water can thoroughly clean tile surfaces.

Fire-Resistance-When considering the safety of your family and friends, you can rest easy knowing that ceramic tile doesn’t bum and give off toxic fumes.

Fade-Resistance-Go ahead, open your blinds and awaken to the touch of sunlight, or watch afternoon rays dance across your living room floor. The color of ceramic tile does not fade in sunlight like the organic dyes used in other floor finishes.

Natural & Environmental-Ceramic tile has the look and feel of something real, solid, and lasting. It’s a fired mixture of materials from “Mother Earth”.
