Tile Installation in Menlo Park, CA | Junior Elite Services

Menlo Park showers, floors and backsplashes in tile

Menlo Park's median home dates to 1964, plus or minus two years. In a bathroom that age, the grout is porous, the caulk has usually been redone more than once, and a cracked tile may be a discontinued color. Sound tiles on a solid wall only need new grout and caulk; loose tiles or a soft wall mean water has already gotten in.

For new work we set backer board and waterproofing, slope the shower pan to the drain, then tile, grout and caulk the inside corners. A relocated valve or drain is permitted plumbing work, which goes to our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc. Grout and caulk usually need one to three days to cure before the first shower.

J&J and Junior and crew provides great Handyman services and support especially for seniors that need a little excellent home maintenance for a reasonable price. Junior and crew repaired and caulked my upstairs shower pan to its shower wall and helped mme clean up my roof deck by cleaning up leafe debris. They were prompt and knowledgeable and honest about their estimates to complete the maintenance. Highly recommended for repair and fixing those tough maintenance jobs you don’t have the time or expertise to finish.

Tile in Menlo Park: questions

Do you work in Menlo Park?

Yes. Menlo Park is about 20 road miles from our base in San Bruno, roughly 30 minutes without traffic. We work all over town, from Allied Arts/Stanford Park to The Willows.

Who issues permits in Menlo Park?

The City of Menlo Park Community Development Department, Building Division. Repairs and like-for-like replacements often don't need a permit; layout changes, new plumbing or new electrical usually do. When one is needed, the job is contracted through our licensed partner Bay Builder Inc.

When can noisy work happen in Menlo Park?

Construction noise is exempt from the residential noise limit 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday; on weekends and holidays, only residents and owners doing their own work get that exemption, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We schedule noisy work inside those hours.

Can you replace just one cracked tile?

Yes, if we can find a match. Leftover tiles from the original job are the best case; otherwise we look for the closest match and tell you honestly how close it is.
