Always looking to save you money on materials and offering valuable advice. I would recommend anyone needing tile or remodel work to utilize his many years of experience, knowledge and skill. Thank you for a great job."

"Mike was awesome. From the time I contacted him on the phone he was very courteous and polite. He was on time every time I met him. His work was spotless. He's a perfectionist and it shows on his work. We are very please on how the tile and grout work came out. He also left the place clean after he was done with work. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs flooring work done."
"They were amazing. It was absolutely amazing. The cost was reasonable. They took out things that had been there for a long time. They said it would be dry in twenty minutes and it was. They were polite and it sounds like a fair advertising. We built a house now that are all tiles so we don?t need them which is also wonderful. But I would definitely recommend them very highly. They did an incredible job. They used non-toxic cleaning agents which was very important to us.
The price was very reasonable and we used a coupon from a local magazine. They were very professional. I have no one complaint."

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
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.
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.
There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
