PROJECT PROFILE: Tiling Project in Party Room
Dave from Rush River Repair had a project that featured a very tight timeline and a very loud jackhammer. The project, from a client in Baldwin, Wisconsin, involved tiling a floor in a party room that had been previously carpeted. The homeowner, who used the room regularly to host parties for family and friends, was tired of the endless carpet cleanup and the hassle of trying to move furniture on a carpeted surface.
The project had two main barriers – a slate floor in front of the patio doors, and limited time which meant he couldn’t remove the baseboard before installing the tile. The slate was removed after some serious jackhammering, and Dave decided to cut the baseboard while it was still on the wall to fit the tile underneath it.
He used Snap Stone - a floating tile with a plastic cage under it that snaps together - to save additional time. After many, many cuts and fitting it was grouted and turned out wonderful.
Dave’s customer was very happy with the final look of the project and has received many compliments from guests at parties she has hosted since the work was done. One guest mentioned to the host, “The tile gives the room a whole new look!"
If you have a room in your house that needs “a whole new look,” or a smaller repair job, give Dave a call at (651) 295-6171 or message him via Facebook and he would be happy to take a look at your project and give you an estimate.
