What color pavers should I choose for my outdoor pavements? Long island
There are many factors than make consumer select a certain style of pavers or color.
Many times consumers select pavers that would match or compliment the color of siding that they have or the roof shingles on the house. There is not any perfect science to how and what to choose when it comes to paving stones for your driveway, patio or walkway.
Using a paver that matches the colors of the house is good approaches and a safe approach. usually the installer would be the best person to help the consumer to chose their material, if you are lucky enough to meet experts and also contractors that would be able to risk because many installers are afraid of suggesting colors and shapes of material because they don’t want to be blamed and they don’t want to risk the chance of not getting paid. So they mostly leave to the homeowner to pick their material .but you should as a consumer rely on the paving stone experts on long island. At Gappsi you are safe because we will help you and we will hold your hand if that is necessary. As the founder, chairmen and CEO of Gappsi I have lived my live practicing my masonry profession and spent most of my time helping people with they material selection. I have also trained my employees and personal to be able to do the same when dealing with undecided clients. My best advice to you is: Building a paving stone pavements is a major investment and you should consider paying a little more for a professional company not just for someone that can install anything you want , because a professional company will give you more services and that is why you need to pay a little extra .someone that can tell you what choose then install it for you and then run the risk of you not liking deserves to get paid for his services and warranty , so in the end you are not paying extra but simple for what get. Also dealing with a company that has the products displayed at them show room would make more convenient for undecided consumers because you don’t need to make and appointment to go see the material and feel guilt of wasting your contractor time at Gappsi our showroom is open 7 days a week and there always someone there that can help you with any questions you have. As far as how to go about selecting the material for your masonry project, you start by selecting the colors first. Then the style of the product then the shape and pattern then the finish and texture like tumbled or not tumbled, as far as matching the paving stone colors to the house colors that could be a little challenging and frustrating. my suggestion to you is to choose what you like and what is appealing to you like love at first site you choose what you like to make it compliment the house is done by introducing borders , inlays of select colors that would tie the entire project to the house colors or stile. that is the job of a professional and what makes the professional is the experience and knowledge of the products available on the market there are many other factors that could come in to play as a professional and a veteran in the masonry industry knowledge is power and as a consumer you should spend a little more by hiring a professional masonry company of long island to guarantee yourself happiness and satisfaction after spending to by a such expensive item and also you will see your project everyday of your life you will remind yourself every morning and every nigh when you are outside of your home.

Travertine veneer & glass tiles long island
I would love to see it. Thank you for your prompt response. I just called and spoke to one of your representatives. The problem that I am encountering is the glass tile being able to fit or interlock with the slate. The glass tile only comes in a 2 by 2 or 4 by 4 which makes it difficult to put it together with the slate, since the slate is different dimensions due to its natural unevenness. My tile guy advises against cutting the glass tile. So i asked your representative to see if he could let me know what the dimensions of the slate you mentioned are. I hope this works out! I will absolutely visit your showroom if this combination of slate/glass can be done. Thank you for your time
the stones veneer we have is travertine and they are 3 inches high you could find 3 inches glass tiles or 1.5 x1.5 and adopt them you would have to look at our product first and if you like we figure things out we have a place where you can look for tiles the person name is Miguel 2186655 and they have 3×6 glass tiles they can be cut in half or use them 3×6 .
