Orange County Floor Kitchen Bath

kitchen remodels can cost between $100 to $250 a square foot depending on whether you intend to do upgrades (low end) or gut it and start over (high end)

Right now there is nothing but cabinetry. We gutted the kitchen from top to bottom. We want to lay glass tile for the countertop and backsplash but everywhere I read says glass tiles lay best on concrete. How do I build the base and lay concrete for the countertops? What supplies are needed? And is it true, I NEED concrete in order to lay the tiles or are there options that will last just as long?
