Great Tile/Carpentry/Paiting Guy


Hi,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a GREAT tile guy to redo my busted up bathroom floor. My plumber even commented on how great Carlos’ work was. When I asked if he did other work he said he was a carpenter and painter. I just had him do some shelves in a closet that turned out great.

Also, his quote for my bathroom floor were half the cost of the other two people I brought in. I found Carlos here on this site and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Carlos Cell 914-309-5970. Tell him Sarie sent you.

What is the name of this thing?


I cannot for the life of me remember what the name of the piece of stone/marble/fake marble/plastic piece that is on the ground of the doorway many times into a bathroom. Does anyone know what this is called and where to buy these? Mine has cracked and I want to replace it but I don’t know where to buy them. I want my tile guy to be able to replace it when he is fixing my tiles in the bathroom. Help!!! I have attached a photo of the one at my office. This is not my broken one.

Thanks!

GREAT CARPET CLEANER


I had to write to recommend a great carpet cleaner I found here on Brownstoner.com. A few years ago I sent my rug out to be cleaned and when it came back I did not see a difference. This time I decided I wanted someone to come to my home to clean it. Jarred from JL Carpet and Upholster Cleaning came. He did a wonderful job and is a really nice guy. Everyone that has seen my carpet can’t believe it. Sorry if I sound like a commercial but when I find someone good I have to share. He is very passionate about carpets and was talking about fibers and how to treat them. Who knew?

Tile Repair


Our bathroom tile has been sinking in in a foot by foot area. It seems the sub-floor cement needs repair. I am looking for one company/person who can repair both the sub-floor and put in new tile in that area (it is the typical black and white tile floor). I am not able to pull up the entire floor but rather just repair that area. I see recommendations on here for people who do whole bathrooms but not just repairs. Also, someone who is reasonably priced.

Thanks!
