We have been looking to replace tile in our great room that was installed poorly (7 years ago)and with grout that cannot be stained or sealed (they had added acrylic to it) and it looks horrible.
I have researched a lot and was looking into the vinyl plank flooring and spoke with Floor Masters who said they could float that floor over the tile. Sounded good but i wanted to look around (Floor Master did our bathroom tile floosr and laminate in the bedrooms and we loved what they did there) Anyway we stopped today at The Floor Shoppe in Wildwood and they were very nice! We talked about laying the vinyl planking over tile and they said they would never do that as manufacturers would not guarantee the product when laid like that. It made us think. So we looked at some tile again and found a gorgeous Tuscan/ Terra Cotta look like that we fell in love with! We asked about cost (we know it is messy) to rip up existing tile and lay this tile plus having a crew come in to do cleanup and their price was well below anything else we looked at doing including the vinyl planking! So am looking for more reviews on their work!
