"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

Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.

Ceramic tile adheres best with premixed adhesive or mortar. If you’re installing the tile in an area with moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen, opt for waterproof adhesive, and if you choose mortar, make sure it’s thick because that is the easiest to work with and ensures the tiles will sit flat.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
