"Olmer communicated very well throughout the project and is very professional. The job was delayed twice as a result of the tile company we selected not meeting its delivery commitment, but Olmer rescheduled with me both times to complete the job quickly. The price was fair (not cheap) and the work is excellent. I would definitely hire Olmer again for the next tile project."

"We first hired Mark to tile our fireplace. We were so impressed with his work that we hired him to tile our kitchen and it looks amazing! Mark is a professional and itâ s clear heâ s been doing this for a long time. He is very precise. He uses techniques that produce an even, clean and crisp look every time. The cherry on top is that Mark is a good and honest dude, heâ s easy to work with, and his prices are fair. If you need a tile guy, look no further than MK Tile & Stone. ~Shout out to Ed Henicle for teaming up with Mark on our kitchen project~"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

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. 

Tile costs vary by material; for example, ceramic tends to be more affordable than stone. These influence installation timelines and skill requirements.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.
