Is a bragging a virtue?

I'm no biblical scholar(i am), but I'm pretty sure bragging about being the 2011 top remodeling company is next to godliness, after all Jesus was a carpenter (he was more likely a stone mason - aka laid tile). I digress, (but he must gress?) Point is, tell your neighbors, tell your friends, because we are remodeling everything inside your house, especially your bathrooms and kitchens.

How to not Die this Halloween! (from black mold)

Black mold exist, it will show up pretty much anywhere water sits in a cool, dark, unventilated area - aka, in your shower walls, beneath your shower pan, etc. The problem with black mold is that it is toxic to breathe, not to mention that the areas that cater to mold also cater to termites.
How to spot black mold when it is not visible:
* Look for bloating in tile wall
* Look for black seeping out of grout joints or caulk joints
* Notice if particular areas of the shower will simply not be rid of mold, no matter how many times you bleach it, it keeps coming back
* Knock on Tile to see if it sounds hollow: this is not always an indication of mold.


The best way to rid yourself of this mold, is to tear our all or the portion of shower infected. Allow for area to dry out (this will practically kill the mold by itself). Kill any remaining mold with bleach. Then take the opportunity to rebuild the custom shower you like, by a trained Shower Installer.

On Choosing a Tile That is Right for You!

Most people when choosing out a tile have no idea what they want in a tile, other than the two basic things they think they're suppose to have: something stylish and something that will last. But more importantly than that is in picking a tile that will be LOW maintenance. Seriously, at the end of the day, people want a tile that is easy to not only keep clean, but also maintains the appearance of cleanliness.
A maybe not so obvious choices of tile not to pick out for your bathroom floor... is white and with white grout! Now, while white tile with white grout is coming back in style, to an extent (brick style, small, and mostly showers and backslashes) it is a horrible choice for a floor, and infinitely worse for a bathroom floor, without going into detail, think hair.
While the other extreme is not really conducive to bathroom cleaning products (black grout vs bleach, etc) something in the middle is excellent, something that is "veiny" and seems to be textured.
Save pretty and extravagant tile for your shower and back splash.
