"It was great! We had used them in January to do the downstairs bathroom, and were so pleased with every aspect of their work, professionalism, and quality of service, we wouldn't have "dreamed" (ha ha! get it!) of using anyone else! 
We did this bathroom in different colors than the first, and added a few other features (like wainscoting) and it turned out BEAUTIFUL! I honestly can't decide which bathroom I like better! They both have a different feel to them, but I am glad this is the one I get to use every day!!
The old bathroom had awful 2" square PINK tiles all over the tub walls, floor, and walls! It was UGLY! We went with the grey marble look for the tub enclosure, and I love how it is all one piece, including the ceiling, with a nice sized cut out shelf for my shampoo. They replaced my tub (which was old, chipped, and stained), and gave me the awesome shower head I had fallen in love with from the other bathroom!! (the old shower head was all one piece with the pipe, and couldn't be easily replaced). In this bathroom, we wanted wainscoting which was perfect since there was all that ugly pink tile going halfway up the walls! They were able to just demo what was necessary, and put the wainscoting over it, which saved us big bucks and reinforced the walls!
The toilet we got is so nice! I like to recycle, reuse and not be wasteful, and the toilet they gave us has two buttons on top to flush! One for "light flushing", and the other for "heavy flushing"!! It is cool! Everyone comments on it when we show off the bathroom!
We also picked out some beautiful ceramic tile for the floors, that look like antique wood planks, and found a nice vanity, light and mirror that they installed for us. (My husband custom made the counter top you see in the photos)  They painted the walls and celling, and even added an outlet for us!  Now not only is my bathroom absolutely beautiful, but much more practical!!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
