CERAMIC TILE AND STONE INSTALLATION. 18 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, LICENSED AND INSURED, FREE ESTIMATES, NO JOB TOO SMALL,
"Here is our experience using Exell Ceramic Tile! Nine months after our new master bath was tiled by Exell we noticed some of the tile on the floor was starting to loosen. A call was placed to Val and a detailed message about the problem was left. No return call from Val. In the next couple of months the grout between the tiles continued to chip out and more and more tiles became unattached on the floor. Once covid hit we had to wait to have the problem addressed. This summer we had a very reputable tile layer assess and fix the problem. Here are his words describing what he discovered. “The problem was when installing a porcelain tile over self-leveler, you need to either prime it with a latex primer or use an anti-fracture membrane. The anti-fracture membrane is a better choice because cracks will not transfer though the tile. You need to use one of the 2 because the self-leveler is very porous and porcelain tile is not. The result is what happened here. The thinset binds to the self-leveler and pulls all the moisture out too fast making it so it will not bond to the tile. That is why I was able to pull up the entire floor and reinstall it. Not one bit of thinset was stuck to the tile. The tile was just sitting on the floor loose. Had it been a wall it would have fallen off. The actual tile work looked above average, it was just a lack of knowledge on installing porcelain over a very porous surface.” The cost was $1500 to remove and reinstall our bathroom floor with an anti-fracture membrane. A letter requesting a reimbursement for this expense was sent to a confirmed address with delivery confirmation. It stated he had one month to pay us or we would write a bad review and start a BBB claim. Sadly Val choose to blow us off! Clearly Exell Tile was at fault for the poor installation and it astonished us that Val choose to ignore our reasonable request to be reimbursed. PLEASE BEWARE and take this warning to heart!!!! Here’s an interesting update: the grout in the master shower is now starting to crack!"

**Call us today for a FREE ESTIMATE!** With over 7 years of experience, Alex K. Construction will provide the best quality craftsmanship at the best price. Call us today, we'd love to talk to you about your next project!
"I would hire Alex again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone. Courteous, highly skilled, great communication, fair price, and works HARD until the job is done -- and done to his very high standards. Alex and his brother dove in with a great attitude even to our brutal, nasty, old-house-bathroom demo that had to go down to the studs. They started on a Saturday and worked straight through the following weekend to get us back in our bathroom as soon as possible. He called us in regularly to consult on key decisions, and his design instincts are great. Along with being a top-notch tile setter (lasers, wet saw -- the tech you want to see) he has the requisite carpentry and core plumbing skills that can come up on a tile job, including built-in niches with proper structural support, and raising the entire floor so the floor tile met the hallway floor perfectly. He did the entire wainscot in Durarock (not everyone would!) and the rest in mold-resistent sheetrock. When he wasn't sure he could get the mudding meeting our old ceiling as perfect as he wanted, he subbed out at no extra cost to me to a friend who is an expert (and who also was terrific to work with). There are no cut corners (except for the perfectly mitred ones Vlad can achieve with the wet saw!). Our bathroom is gorgeous, the work was prompt, and Alex and his small crew were a pleasure to welcome into our home."

A grout doctor is a professional who specializes in cleaning, repairing, and restoring grout and tile surfaces. They use advanced techniques and specialized tools to remove stubborn stains and bring back the original look of your tiles. Hiring a grout doctor costs between $200 and $450 per room, depending on factors like your location and any additional charges.
The best tile and grout cleaner is a steam cleaning machine engineered specifically for deep tile restoration. This machine delivers outstanding performance in removing embedded grime and restoring brightness to your grout lines. Professionals rely on this specialized equipment to ensure a thorough cleaning process. Experts may enhance the cleaning results by employing pretreatment solutions, specialized brushes, or chemical formulations to guarantee optimal, long-lasting outcomes.
Tile and grout are water-resistant rather than waterproof. Even with sealing, natural stone tiles are porous and can absorb moisture, which may lead to erosion and deterioration over time. Ceramic and porcelain tiles have high density and offer better moisture resistance. Glass tiles are non-porous and don’t absorb any water, making them ideal for areas more prone to moisture.
Plan for tile and grout cleaning every six to 12 months to keep your surfaces in pristine condition. Regular cleaning protects your tiles by eliminating dirt and buildup that can compromise both appearance and durability. High-traffic areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, which are exposed to moisture and spills, require prompt cleaning and sealing to guard against damage. Professional cleaning extends the life of your tilework and preserves its structural integrity.
Tile and grout cleaning is safe for your floors when executed with proper techniques and expert care. Correct cleaning methods preserve the integrity of both grout and tile surfaces by eliminating harmful buildup without causing damage. Professionals adhere to strict protocols and use specialized tools and chemicals to avoid over-scrubbing and chemical harm. This controlled process enhances the durability and aesthetic appeal of your flooring and extends its overall life.
Resealing your grout after cleaning is essential for protecting and extending the life of your tiled surfaces. A proper reseal forms a durable barrier that safeguards against moisture, stains, and deterioration. This step maintains the structural integrity of the grout and minimizes future repair needs. Homeowners who invest in timely resealing enjoy enhanced durability and a consistently fresh, well-maintained appearance for their tilework.
