    Cleaning Calcium From Tile

    I'm in the same boat as you. I reached out to Rancho Cost-a-Lotta last week for a recommendation. I have all glass tile and the company he referred me to does not do glass tile. I found 3 other companies who quoted $1,246 + $109 for a sealer, $987 + 75 for sealer, and $850 (Includes sealer)...

    Possible New Pool In Central FL

    Hey pal, the glass beads both add color as well as texture. I was concerned with the texture of the pebble without beads as my kids have had their feet torn up at a friends pool who has mini pebble and they didn’t have glass beads. I did the beads more for the fact they have no sharp edges like...
