"Juan did a beautiful job on the bathroom ceramic tile. We had sub floor damage & he did a great job by letting us know what additional work would be needed. He was very punctual every morning & kept us up to date on the project status. I would highly recommend Juan for your ceramic tile installation needs."

"Derek is honest, courteous, and treats you like family. The craftsmen he hires to lay the tile are artists and really care about how you like their work. This company is the best. If you had more than 5 stars I would rate him higher. Thank you for finding someone with his integrity for your lists."

Small jobs welcome

"Adam was EXTREMELY professional. He was right on time, very knowledgeable and a gentleman. Adam provided requested quotation and insurance documentation right away. His work included cutting and installing new backer board and waterproofing membrane, tile setting, grout and caulking; all this in tandem with plumbers repiping work. The price was very fair and my shower/bath tile job looks great! I would rehire A.K. Tile in an instant."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

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

The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.
