"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."

"I highly recommend Gabriel and his team! Selecting the right tile profession was extremely important to me. After much research and meeting with several companies, I selected Ocean Marble & Tile. They tackled my commercial project of a tile floor for a 2600+ sq. ft. retail space where the floors where critical in creating the perfect environment for the business. The original concrete floors needed proper leveling in order to install the large format 47" x 47" porcelain tile. From start to finish, the Ocean Marble & Tile team was professional in every way...reliable, punctual, honest and delivered excellent quality work. Gabriel is a true leader and thoroughly knowledgeable. The floors are beautiful and I am most appreciative!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.

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. 

If you hire a professional to install a new floor, you can expect to pay between $50 and $75 per hour for labor. It takes two days on average to install a new floor as part of a bathroom remodeling project, but your timeline depends on your bathroom’s size and layout.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.
