Customer Spotlight - Garage Living Room

Today, we'd like to show you one of our favorite jobs in recent memory. This job comes to us out of Long Beach. One of our repeat customers came to us with a unique request. He mentioned that he had a fairly large garage and was only using half of it for his car and his storage. The other half was dusty and dirty and a complete waste of space.

Together with the client, we decided to turn the other half in to a beautiful den / relaxation area. It ended up being an extremely fun project, as well as being fairly cost effective. All it took was some new lighting, new drywall, a fresh coat of paint, and a beautiful floor to finish it off.

The floor he chose was a combination ceramic tile and laminate floor which looked absolutely stunning when completed. The entire floor from wall to wall came to a grand total of a very reasonable $1,500. While it may have been low cost, this floor is created to be extremely durable and will last for years to come withstanding all types of abuse.

Now, our client hangs out here nightly with his friends after a long day of work. He told us "I now have a large open area to entertain guests and it's extremely comfortable. I'm very pleased."

Ceramic Tile - Beauty Meets Durability

In life, we often find ourselves making a difficult decision between aesthetics and function. Something beautiful may not always be as durable as we would hope, while something less visually pleasing may be incredibly resilient and last for centuries. It's the old decision between an plow horse and a show horse and finding out which one is best for your needs. 

Ceramic tile tends to break this stereotype and proceeds to provide a stunning floor to your home that will stand up against all the abuse you can throw at it. Because of this, ceramic tile has been on of our most popular choices for flooring products. 

Ceramic tile is incredibly durable. It is created from a hardened clay that is baked and glazed to become resistant to most types of damage that floors usually endure. It is both heat and moisture resistant making it perfect for hot and humid kitchens or bathrooms. You'll never have to worry about a spill damaging the integrity of the floor. If you encounter any dirt, grime, or spills on a tile floor, it's usually as simple as sweeping or mopping it up. Ceramic tile is often picked in commercial properties due to its cleanliness.

Don't let the resistance of ceramic tile fool you in to thinking that it would be an ugly choice for your home. Ceramic tile is incredibly versatile in the ways it can be installed. The tile comes in thousands of color, texture, and size combinations so you can really express your creativity with an installation. The only limit is your imagination. When installing ceramic tile in your home, don't be afraid to be artistic and imaginative with it. You might be surprised at how much you like the result.
