Getting Around

PDFPrintE-mail

Today I thought I would write about some of the different jobs we have been tackling over the last few weeks.  Our jobs range from small to large and the first one featured is a hall bathroom where Josh & Beers were busy finishing up a Brite White 6" x 6" ceramic tile at the tub surround.

Next I found our husband and wife team busy putting the finishing touches on a shower area.  Shane has been very busy installing tile at one home that I have mentioned in recent blog posts.  Janet, Shane's better half does most of the grouting after Shane is finished with the installation.  I am pretty sure that Shane pays Janet well but we would have to ask Janet to be sure!

Josh and Shane have both been busy installing a pebble and glass border in the foyer and Television Lounge areas.  This border did not come with any "corners" or special pieces to make up the very corners of the border but you can see in the first picture that Josh has connected the glass mosaics to keep the line of glass "flowing".  Shane was busy at the same time installing these 16" marble tiles on a diagonal inside the "area rug" that the pebble and glass borders surround.

Finally, I thought I would mention that another part of our crew was busy just today pouring leveler in the downstairs "Ground Level" of this same home.  We did this in order to make the floor nice and flat for the large format marble tiles that will be installed over this substrate.

Chicago Reclaimed Brick

Recently we completed another kitchen floor.  This one however, was a bit different as we installed a used brick as specified from the job-site's designer, Mark Showell of Mark Showell Interiors (www.markshowellinteriors.com).  This used brick had been reclaimed, cut with a band saw to a 3/8" thickness (for flooring) and shipped out from Chicago.  Our job was simply to install these fine...

Justin's Beach House

Recently we completed a job that I considered as so much more than just a job.  We were chosen to be a part of a very special building project called the Justin's Beach House Project.  Justin W. Jennings was a young man who diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July of 1988.  This news came to Justin just one month prior to entering his freshman year at Penn State.  Though he was very much...

Waves of Tile

Recently we completed another kitchen backsplash.  This particular tile is a bit on the unique side of things since it is fashioned in the form of a wave or a scroll look.  Our installer Jason was tested, but proved once again to be the better when it came to installing this natural stone. By the time I caught up with Jason he was getting the grouting completed.  I will simply let the pictures...

Breaking the Weather

When our recent customer found water coming in his back door he realized that he needed something besides the hardwood flooring as a "weather break" at this area.  We were happy to accommodate by cutting this maple flooring back to an approximate 24" width and inserting these beautiful pebbles.  We then installed our waterproof, mold proof, stain proof grout called Spectra...

A Ceramic Area Rug

Well, after taking most of the summer off from blogging, I figured with fall in the air it was a good time as any to get back to writing and posting.  Today I thought I would feature a Hotel Lobby floor that we tackled in the town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This hotel lobby floor was upgraded by using  non-slip 12" x 12" porcelain tiles with a simple border to create this "area rug" effec...
