"These guys are professional, friendly, and take pride in their work. They always ask if we have questions during the installation of the tile & the final outcome of the project is simply awesome. They are no major surprises & the plumber along with the shower door man all stated that Corner Stone took "It to another Level" We have been receiving Complements from everyone all week & we are so pleased that we will hire them for our 2nd & 3rd bathroom remodeling projects. I agreed for Corner Stone to give new clients my cellphone number if they have any questions. Thanks Hector. Glad we meet you & your crew. Humberto Castro Soledad, California"

"I wanted the tile laid a certain way, they wouldn't do it- claiming it would void the warranty (?). I challenged that, then they told me there were not enough tiles and it would take a week to get more. I showed them the pattern would work. They said to call my salesman, which I did and he was less than receiving who said he would have his supervisor call me- who never did. Because I had an out of town guest coming, I gave in. Tile looks good, but it wasn't what I wanted."

"I am extremely satisfied with the TNR Flooring installation of our porcelain tile kitchen floor. Todd responded to my Home Advisor request within 24n hours, His bid was submitted the next day and was competitive and complete. As the project progressed, he was able to help us navigated the changes and improvements we were hoping for. His installers, Cesar and Brian, were professional and courteous. They did a great job with our project. Todd was present and accessible during the process. I highly recommend them. We hope to use them in the near future to refinish our hardwood floors."

"Carlos not only removed old carpet but repaired cracks in cement underflooring then did a beautiful job installing the new vinyl plank flooring. And went out of his way to pick up the new flooring and baseboards. Carlos goes out of his way to ensure the job is well done and his customers are happy from start to finish. We are really happy with our new floors and highly recommend Carlos."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.

When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.

Ceramic tile can be slightly less expensive than porcelain pavers. You can find outdoor ceramic tile for as little as $1 per square foot, but high-end options tend to cost the same as porcelain.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
