"Oleg from Smile Tile was a fabulous find! Not only did he do a beautiful job installing my backsplash, he took his time to cut out the odd shaped tiles and make everything flow so that you did not see the squares the tiles were in. He is definitely a perfectionist, kind and professional. I highly recommend Oleg and would definitely use him again."

They did a beautiful job - it looks great! They were careful and neat during demo and haul away as well as during the plumbing, tile cutting and installing. Also always available for questions and great advice.
Oasis Tile also replaced the tile on the first floor - they did a beautiful job for a great price!"
"The crew showed up on time, and went to work immediately....They did a through job of removing the old, cracked tiles...........then they prepared the surface for the application of the new tiles....... they individually masked each tile before installation.....set the tile, waited for the thin set to dry, and then applied the grout..... then the masking tape was removed for a perfect job......Very satisfied with the results and would hire them again and recommend them to others.......satisfied in WALNUT"
"Ronald knows his Trade well, is prompt, professional, and communicates well. He installed a very intricate 1 inch multicolored glass tile backsplash in our kitchen. We purchased the tile at Lowe’s. Unknown to us there were reviews stating this pattern was very random. When Ronald returned the next day to apply the grout he changed up some of the colored tiles to make it look appealing. It’s a nice upgrade for our kitchen and it looks like it has always been there."

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.
You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.
Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
