Pretty simple question, isn’t it? And yet, rather daunting to know where to begin, if a subject is entirely new to you! Unfortunately, until that fabled learn-while-you-sleep technology (magic?!) is perfected, the only way to learn is to jump right into something you don’t know and start thinking about it.
And that’s where I’d like to help.
We realize that not everyone has considered installing carpet, tile, stone, vinyl, or any other surface product into their house. If you have thought about it, you may have told yourself you needed to find an expert, pay them to take care of it, and move on with your life. But wouldn’t you rather have an idea and say about what goes on in your home? After all, you’re the one who will have to clean it, eat off of it, and live with it until you sell the place or remodel!
Let us place the wide range of knowledge bases and areas of experience here at Schumacher Tile and Stone at your fingertips. Eventually, we will have a repository of knowledge where anyone can come and discover what they need to know about natural stone. Or ceramic or porcelain tile. Or carpet, rug, vinyl, hardwood … any interior surface.
But here’s where I need your help.
I’d like to open the floor to questions. Any question! Let me know what it is your interested in, what has daunted you about beginning a project, and I will either answer it or find someone who can. Send me a note with the contact form or send me an email using the address from my page, and your question goes into production for an upcoming blog post.

I have a client who has 24″ x 24″ marble tile in their foyer. I guess my question is what is the best way they can keep up on the maintenance on their marble floors with animals in the house? Especially with scratches, wear and tear and lord forbid puppy mishaps? Also, how often should they have it professional buffed and cleaned?
Look forward to your replay so I may advise them.
Cheers!

I’m sorry, Marwa, there seems to have been a miscommunication! I did post a new blog post with the answer to your question on Feberuary 11th. It is titled “Question: What is engineered tile?.” In that post I try to answer your question – I also sent you an email previous to that to try to clarify the question so I could answer it more specifically. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know.
Thanks!
