"I recently had my kitchen remodeled. I friend recommended Jason. I did not use my contractors tile guy. I had several ideas for my wall that had not been tiled before. Jason worked with me to recommend a good pattern and tile size for my space. I love the finished project. It looks so good and I get complements from my friends. He was just what I needed."

"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)."

"We were totally pleased with John’s work and expertise. During our home remodel we took two bathrooms back to stud walls and reconfigured the showers and bath. Our description of John’s work in setting the tile is nothing short of artistry! John also laid ceramic floor tiles throughout the house. He was neat and efficient, and we could not be more pleased with the final product."

"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."

"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."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.

Altering the layout of your bathroom will make a big difference as moving or adding plumbing quickly inflates your total bill. While you can recoup more of your cost (in home value terms) by adding a bathroom, rearranging the layout won’t affect your home’s sticker value. However, strategic placements that allow more light or better flow may increase buyer interest.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.
