Q: Do I need to remove old grout before installing new tile?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">grout is clean</a>, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.</p></div>

Q: How do I get uniform spacing between tiles?

• <div><p>Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.</p></div>

Q: Should you keep spare tiles?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn&rsquo;t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.</p></div>

Q: How does the cost of porcelain countertops compare to other materials like quartz and granite?

• <div><p>Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop material. It typically costs between $50 to $70 per square foot.</p><p>Compared to quartz, porcelain is slightly more affordable, as quartz generally ranges from $50 to $200 per square foot. However, lower-quality, builder's grade quartz can be similar in price to porcelain.</p><p>Compared to granite, the price can be similar, depending on the quality of the stone. While granite slabs can range from $50 to $200 per square foot, you can find lower-end granite in the same price range as porcelain. High-end granites will cost significantly more.</p><p>Porcelain is generally more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic, but less expensive than high-end slate, concrete, and marble. A key benefit is that porcelain does not require sealing, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.</p></div>

Q: How long does tile floor installation take?

• <div><p>Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.</p><p>The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.</p></div>

The project went exactly how it was proposed to me. Supplies were delivered and soon after the crew showed up and completed the majority of the job in 1 day. There was an excellent cleanup done on the second day. We highly recommend JR Roofing.
