"We hired Rekdahl Tile and Stone to install 500 square ft. of tile. Mitch, the owner, did the work. He was meticulous in tile setting. The job turned out beautiful. He cleaned up after the job was complete. He was professional, courteous, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Rekdahl Tile and Stone."

"Tony and his team helped us immensely. We met him originally during the design phase of our project and from that time on he was there to help from beginning to end. The project was approximately 700 square feet and included adding two new bathrooms, a master bedroom and a full remodel of our kitchen. Tony and his project manager Marcos were always here to give us updates and share ideas. They even helped us with finding the best places to go for supplies (tile, windows, counters, etc). Two of our biggest concerns was that we wanted to stay in the house while construction was going on and that the project finished on time. Tony was able to finish this large addition and remodel all while we stayed in the home and within a week of our original deadline. His team was always there working and were very professional. We will definitely use Tony and his team again in the future!"

"Joe Kincaid was a pleasure to work with and made several great suggestions to save us money. He and his entire team were organized, professional, and punctual. Kincaid made a project that for us was rather large and complicated, easy and almost effortless. The finished guest house is beautiful! We also had a new counter and cabinet installed in the main house with a new dishwasher installation. We plan to make more renovations to our home in the near future and wouldn't consider working with any other contractor. Joe Kincaid is the best!!!"

"Store rep was very professional and responsive. He came to my house to measure and provide a quote free of charge and allowed me to borrow sample material from the store. The final quote was a little more than the preliminary estimate based on square footage (when we first visited the store) but it was worth it. It was easy to get an installation appointment and the installers did an extremely thorough and professional job. We were very happy with how the work looked when it was finished."

"Ken and his staff were fantastic from beginning to end. He made the process so easy and he was always up front and transparent about the service and prices. We had our bathroom remodeled last year and the previous contractor did such a poor job, we had to have new tile installed again. The difference between the two contractors was night and day. We are so happy with how the shower turned out. We would DEFINITELY want to work with him and his company again in future."

"I interviewed several contractors on my bathroom remodel and Nir from LLA Expert Builders gave me best quality-price ratio and as that was most important to me it was easy decision to hire them. The project went better than I expected, very smooth, quick and clean also. Nir and his team were fantastic, did everything as they promised and final outcome is brilliant. My new bathroom is beautiful, thank you."

"This is the third bathroom they have done for us,replaced shower,toilet sink, acrylic walls,installed new floors. Total redo. We have been more than pleased from the start,beginning with the initial assessment. This is a family owned business who take pride in their work. You would not know they were in your house,work quietly and cleanly. And the outcome is outstanding. I highly recommend Bath Doctor. You will not be disappointed.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

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.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
