"I am pleased to write this review for GM Tiling & Mosaics and Gavin Mulholland’s work. My project was not a complicated project (demo and retile a fireplace surround), but I was in a jam and needed someone quick. Gavin responded to my call right away and found a way to fit me in during the week to help me out. I had a 35-year career in commercial construction project management so was refreshingly surprised and appreciative of Gavin’s high level of professionalism, polite demeanor, punctuality, and communication. Because of his experience, he was able to point out improvements to my plan that I liked. His skills are at the highest level and he took the time to do little extra things around the fireplace that weren’t his scope of work but made it better and saved me work. He finished in 2 ½ days. It was such a good experience for me that I hope I come up with another tiling job for him."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.
The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost.
Tile ratings are as follows:
Grade 0: Walls only
Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors
Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
There are several low-maintenance shower floor tiles to consider for your bathroom. Stone tiles are easy to keep clean and only need an occasional resealing to keep them looking their best. Porcelain is another low-maintenance choice, as it doesn’t stain easily. Vinyl is also suitable for easy upkeep. On the other hand, one of the highest maintenance options for bathrooms is wood tile.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
