"RYAN AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE ENJOYABLE TO HAVE AROUND FOR A WEEK. THEY WERE POLITE AND COURTEOUS. RYAN IS VERY KNOWLEDGABLE WHEN IT COMES TO TILE LAYOUT. MY COUNTERS ARE BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE A VERY OLD HOUSE AND IT WASN'T AN EASY JOB, BUT THEY WERE UP TO THE CHALLENGE. EVERYTHING, FROM START TO FINISH, WAS DONE IN A PROFFESIONAL MANNER. I THOUGHT HIS ESTIMATE FOR ALL THE WORK HE HAD TO DO WAS VERY FAIR. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIM TO OTHERS THAT NEED WORK DONE. ALSO, IF I HAVE TILE PROJECTS IN THE FUTURE I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO HIRE HIM ALL OVER AGAIN."

"We discussed designs for our family room. She was easy to work with and everything was done through email. We sent Jill details about the room and photos. She understood things well, sent us back ideas and a few room plans. We didn’t use her ideas but they were valuable for us for other perspectives. The deal was exactly what we expected."

"No more leaks or missing tiles. He found a reputable, reasonably priced supply store to lower my costs. Very reasonable for the great value I received. I liked the work he did so much that I have used him for other work I've needed on the interior of my home. Very hard worker, wastes no time and very knowledgeable."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.

Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn’t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles.
