Removing and Replacing Broken Tiles

Although it doesn't happen often (unless the base is damaged), a sharp blow at just the right angle can crack or break a tile. It's not difficult to replace a tile, but removing it can be somewhat delicate. By working carefully with the right tools, it's possible to get a broken tile out without creating further damage.

Installing Ceramic Floor Tile

When properly installed, ceramic tile provides a stylish and long-lasting floor. Surprisingly, installing the actual tile is fairly simple. But since most ceramic tiles are perfectly square and most rooms are not, the real work comes in the layout, planning, and surface preparation. Patience is the key.

Maintaining Hardwood Floors

Perhaps the most desirable feature of hardwood flooring is that it's a natural product. The patterns of the grain are interesting to the eye, and the combinations of colors give any room a soft, inviting glow. The resilience of wood fibers makes a hardwood floor extremely durable but also susceptible to changes caused by moisture and aging.
