"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

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

If you hire a professional to lay tile, you can expect to pay $3 to $15 per square foot for labor. For a 100-square-foot tiling project, that would equal $30 to $150 in labor. These costs may increase if you need extra services (such as tile removal, wall repair, or waterproofing). For example, tile removal costs an additional $2 to $7 per square foot.
