"Great experience working with Kole and his employees. They showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves everyday and took pride in their work. Very flexible as well as knowledgeable in advising ideas as the project progressed. They worked hard and stayed as long as necessary each day to complete each days work. Friendly, personable, and very trustworthy. We are very pleased with the finished tile work for our bathroom and walk in shower."

"Greg is a true professional. Very creative with our two tile mural projects. He was very proficient in taking out the existing tiles that were within a tiled boarder on our stucco patio walls and replacing with the new murals. First of all it was very difficult to find the exact size murals that were the dimensions of the former murals. Greg, with his years experience, suggested various alternatives. What a craftsman! The end results were terrific! You would never know that the new murals were a replacement. He is very tidy with his clean-up at the end of the day(s). I am looking forward to my future project(s) with him. I definitely recommend Greg for any tile projects! Thank You!"

"Genaro “cowboy” Salazar, owner of Explosive City Tile, is a perfectionist and a pleasant personality to work with. I hired Genaro to fix previous a bad ceramic tile installation. So I needed a perfectionist to put everything right. Being a perfectionist is his selling point."

"Very well. Luis Garcia also recommended removal of a small wall in our foyer & adding steps to open up our Living Room & Entry. Luis is experienced, gives solid recommendations, & stands by his work. I recommended Luis Garcia to our neighbor who installed 800 sq ft ceramic tile (faux hardwood)."

"Kendall is great. He’s detail oriented and knows his trade well. They tiled my kitchen floor and stove backsplash. The floor looks amazing. We really love it! They created a clean transition between existing wood floor to new kitchen tile. His guys did my backsplash, which is nice too, but the grout line along the edge is not straight, and there’s a tile that is noticeably not aligned with the others. That’s bothersome. His guys did clean up after the end of day, which is nice. The end of project clean up was fine but I still needed to do a lot afterward."

"If you found Bryan for Stone cleaning, garage floors, or anything else that he does go no further in your search. He has done everything from our travertine stone, tile, and granite, and epoxy garage floors nd his work is meticulous and excellent. His communication is fantastic and if he says he will be there at a certain time he ll show up early. I usually don t do reviews but his professionalism warrants a 6 star response. I will not hesitate and look forward to using them again in the future."

"LG Tile is the best. We had a very large complete renovation project and it turned out better than we ever expected. LG Tile managed the process, advised on the tile selections, helped with the design, and followed-through with every detail. We had many contractors on this project and LG Tile was the most amazing and transformed every room into a work of art! Amazing company for a most competitive cost and unsurpassed quality."

"Joe came out to do a great job on our Travertine floors. His pricing I felt was fair and his work was great. He was very personable and I felt that he was honest and old school in his way of doing honest business. I've already recommended him to a friend to do his floors as well. Thabks again for making our beat up floors looked like new again."

"We had a large 120 so foot kitchen backsplash floor to ceiling around doors and windows tile job with a very delicate 1-inch diamond shaped penny tile. The tile contractors our general kitchen contractor hires walked off the job and said they couldnâ t work with this tile. Rayo tile saved the day! I got 4 bids that were all pretty close in price. They werenâ t the cheapest but they were the best. Constant communication. Showing up on time. Incredible work and we had a very difficult tile to work with. Cleaned their workspace. These guys are professionals like all contractors should be. Hire them."

FAQs for ceramic tile service projects in Carlsbad, CA

The average cost of installing tile is around $2,000, ranging between $400 and $6,500, depending on the type of tile, square footage of tile, and whether or not your tiling contractor performs site preparation, like removing old tile. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 per square foot, largely depending on the type and quality of the tiles you choose. For example, ceramic and travertine tile cost about $1 per square foot, but luxury tile options like marble cost up to $350 per square foot, not including labor.

Yes, tiling a bathroom is a great way to boost the value of your home. Tile is a highly durable and attractive building material, and savvy buyers will know they’re getting a low-maintenance flooring or wall covering that can last for 75 years or more. Keep in mind that the return on investment from tiling your bathroom will likely be higher if a professional tile installer does the work. Tiling is a complicated job, and mistakes will be very evident and detract from the appearance and value of the finished work.

On average, you can expect the tiling in your bathroom to take around 12 hours, usually spread over at least two to three days. The process can take longer if your tile installer needs to remove old tile first. Tiling a floor takes around six hours, and tiling the shower area often takes six to 10 hours. Some factors that affect the length of the project include the type of tile, the layout of your bathroom, and any prep work that your installer needs to do beforehand. It’s best to have an alternate bathroom available during the process.

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.

To find a local tile installer, your first step is to connect with professionals in your area and interview them. Ask the following questions to get a sense of their experience and ability:

  • How many years have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of references I can contact?

  • What materials—tile, thinset, and mortar—will you use?

  • Does your pricing include materials and labor?

  • How long will my bathroom or kitchen be out of commission while you work?

Then, compare prices to find the best value for your investment.
