"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."

"The workmanship was top-notch. Had about 1,000 sqft of Italian tile work done and it was perfect: Furniture moved, removal, tile and molding laid in great symmetry, 1/16 gap even throughout, price reasonable, and clean up was good. Just be patient with how long it will take-- perfection does take time. Now it looks beautiful. Thank you."

"Gomez Tile Design is absolutely the best for installing tile. I used to flip properties and thus I have extensive experience working with contractors. I can tell you that with Gomez Tile Design, Samuel and Abel, were always on time, super conscientious, discarded all the waste and left the job super clean. In addition, their workmanship is superior, from the way they layout the tile to the grout lines. I totally recommend them if you are looking for perfection."

"We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Rene and his team. They installed a new backsplash in our kitchen and the quality exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was outstanding. They were thorough with the cleanup after the job was done, which made the entire experience even better. It’s clear they take great pride in their work snd care about their customers. I recommend R.G. Tile to anyone looking for high-quality tile work and exceptional service."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

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.

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.
