"Vanderlip Construction brought our ideas and vision to a reality on a master and guest bathroom remodel in our 1961 rambler. Eric is both an organized contractor and an experienced craftsman. He is a thoughtful and very responsive communicator who we could always count on to perform the tasks he scheduled throughout our project. He brought in very skilled team of subcontractors who he made sure didn’t disrupt our home life and office work activities. Eric was generous with sharing his expertise and insights that helped us make decisions on key details. We had about an 80 percent design and selected all the tile, fixtures, and custom cabinets but Eric’s attention to detail brought it all together, especially on our counters and master bath shower. Always patient and friendly, he wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the progression and the outcomes. He’s also committed to backing up his work. I suffered a serious leg injury after the remodel and Eric kindly went the extra step to come to our house and install a new light fixture in our bedroom. He scored an A+ on both bathrooms and we made a new friend."

"We had major damage from a leaking shower pan and did not want to reinstall the same technology so we contacted Lakewood Countertops about a custom made 4' x 6' Corian shower pan instead of a concrete and tile pan. They sent out a man to measure who arrived quickly and did a good job. The estimate was about $2600 plus tax, about 1/3d less than another company for the same product. They told us it would take about 10 business days but near the end of that time, they called and said they could not find material in the common color we wanted. We chose another similar color that they could get and were told it would take an additional 10 days. The installer was supposed to come on Friday and my general contractor was on site to remove a temporary wall to facilitate the installation. Lakewood called and said their installer had called in sick and could not come that day so my contractor had to reinstall the wall. This cost me about $300 for unnecessary work. When the installers arrived on Monday, they did a great job of installation. A pan that big comes in 2 pieces and has to be glued together with special glue and held under pressure for about an hour. Afterwards, the floor of the pan was sanded and finished so you cannot see the seam. The pan fit perfectly. I am completely pleased with the work and result but not so happy with the overpromise on scheduling."

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.
