We're often asked if it's necessary to hire a designer. While it isn't mandatory, we highly recommend hiring someone to put articulate your vision on "paper". Our goal is to make your remodeling vision a reality - the likelihood of our hitting that target increases exponentially when your vision has been illustrated/documented by someone in the industry. Their years of expertise and know-how can often help save you from unnecessary mistakes and expenses, ultimately offsetting the additional costs associated with their services. Alternatively we can provide project planning assistance for an hourly fee.

A commonly overlooked decision is how to transition from tile to drywall (or other surfaces). Below are a few options to consider:

Rough edges: Simply grout/caulk the transition area after installation.

Metal edging: A wide array of styles and finishes are available from manufacturers such as Custom Brand and Schluter, among others. Home Depot, Lowes or your tile retailer of choice will have these on hands (some colors require special order)

Tile molding: For most tile brands/lines, compatible liners/molding are often available. These include pencil liners, quarter-round, surface bullnose, beads, etc. When you visit your retailer of choice, ask which options are available for you.
