"We called Pacini’s Tile Works for help with deteriorating grout in our kitchen and shower. Owner Jeff got back to us right away and put his tile specialist Joe Lee on the job. Jeff scheduled our job quickly, which was great because we were worried about damage from water leaking through the old grout. Joe worked quickly and thoroughly, replacing broken tiles, fixing the leaking spot, and putting in new grout and caulking in the kitchen. He also replaced all the grout and caulking in the shower and repaired water damage in an area adjacent to the tub. He explained all the repairs very clearly and did meticulous work. We will be calling Pacini’s again to keep our tiled areas water-safe and beautiful—so happy to have found them!"

"I highly recommend calling this tile contractor. He was able to give a bid over the phone and that's what it cost and it was significantly lower than some of the other contractors. His work was excellent. He was fast and efficient and his expertise was evident in a perfect job well done"

"We needed our shower floor retiled. Mario did a fantastic job! He came to look at space and discuss the project in advance at no charge. He brought tile samples that were perfect, coordinating with the wall tile and other finishes. Mario provided a reasonable cost estimate and did the job on time. He even used drop cloths to protect the carpet areas leading to the bathroom where the work was done. I was impressed he was able to cleanly remove the old tile without damaging the walls or surrounding glass. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Mario--he is communicative, kind, knowledgeable, careful, and flexible. I am grateful that our job was matched with Cubias Tile!"

"Jacob is a true tile master. From the estimate, through a clear contract and installation of the tiles in a kitchen and two bathrooms he did an amazing job. He had great design ideas, and the workmanship was of the highest quality. I am a general contractor and will definitely be hiring him again."

"Jose did an outstanding job installing our kitchen back splash. He ensured all the surface were true and corrected where needed. Great prep work to ensure everything was covered from in and out traffic and ease of cleanup for the kitchen. Jose also ensured we were in agreement on start times and if there were any issue he would notify me if he would be delayed. He was very courteous and polite as well. From a cost perspective his bid was very competitive and under other bids I received form other contractors at HomeAdvisor as well as other searches I had done. I would recommend Aztec Installation Tiling and Jose. Great quality work!"

"Conscientious, timely, neat. My marble tile floors turned out much better than I expected after George stripped, cleaned, buffed to a fine shine, and sealed them. They made clear recommendations for my caring for the floors. Excellent folk to do business with. Strongly recommended."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

No, you don’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 grout is clean, 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.
