Stone & Countertop Installation

There is a general process for natural stone countertop installation. Slabs are either cut off beforehand or on-site by skilled fabricators to fit pre-taken measurements. This includes crafting custom edges and making cutouts for under-mount sinks and cooktops. Regardless of where the slabs are cut and prepared, once finished, they will be laid upon the bare counters, leveled, and secured. Seams (where the two pieces of stone are put together) will be joined with epoxy that is mixed with the color that matches the stone. Then, the joined area is smoothened so that only a very thin line is visible. To further secure the stone to the cabinets, attachment blocks are used.

Note: It’s important that your cabinets are level and secured to the wall or anchored to the floor. If they are uneven, shims might be placed under the new countertops to level the surface areas.

Our installers should have essential tools on hand to face many of the challenges that might occur.

Pool Tile Installation

Clean and Level

Before you begin tiling the pool, take the time to ensure your pool is ready to receive them. wash down the pool walls and floor using a pressure washer to remove any dirt or pool chemicals that may be on the pool walls. this will expose the pool's surface to the mortar, which will ensure a better tile bond. inspect the pool carefully as well; patch any holes or cracks you find. paint a waterproofing membrane onto the pool as well to give a further layer of protection to the tiles. once the membrane has cured, the tiles can be installed right over it.

Mortar and Grout for Tiling a Pool

Set the ceramic tiles in a latex-fortified thinset mortar designed for prolonged use in wet areas. because there are chemicals in the pool water, the mortar used must be impervious to the chemicals and moisture over long periods of time. check with the mortar manufacturer to ensure the mortar you choose can be used safely for tiling a pool. select a grout to apply to the ceramic tiles that contains no portland cement or epoxy. both portland cement and epoxy can discolor or weaken in the presence of the pool chemicals. select a grout that has been polymer fortified for strength, and maintain a minimum of a 1/8-inch grout joint between the tiles to allow for movement.

Setting the Tiles

Install the tiles on the pool like you would install them anywhere. lay out the tiles ahead of time to determine the pattern and placement on the pool. spread the mortar onto the pool walls or floor with a mortar, combing it in one direction until it is a uniform depth. set the tiles into the mortar at a slight angle, and twist them straight into place. use tile spacers if needed to maintain consistent grout joints. after installing a few tiles, place a beating block over the tiles, and tap the block with a rubber mallet to drive the tiles evenly into the mortar. allow the mortar to cure for a minimum of 24 hours before grouting the tiles.
