"George and his associate were a pleasure to deal with. Because we are getting our house ready to put on the market, we needed the work done quickly and professionally. Not only did George come the day after I called, he came on a weekend to give us a quote. His quote for the work was fair and competitive and his work on all aspects of the job was immaculate. The new tiles he installed look fabulous and he matched some hard to find colors of our grout perfectly on our older 10-16 year old tiles. We'd never had our older tiles professionally cleaned before and now they look almost brand new! My husband and I are extremely pleased with the job he did."

"We had old Mexican tile in the garage that needed cleaning and restoring.  We also had a shower which needed recaulking and sealing.  The company did a good job with the tile restoration and we were pleased.  The shower drain unfortunately got clogged with the old caulk.  Kris rectified the situation to our satisfaction."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

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.

Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.

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.

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
