"100% would recommend to anyone looking for tiling services. Emmanuel is professional, communicated promptly, and listened to what I needed for my small flooring project. My floor looks great down to the precision in cuts and grout lines. An experienced perfectionist that lives up to the name of his company. I would definitely rehire for future projects."

"I reached out for a tile floor repair and Miguel responded the same day. He came out to look over the repair I needed and gave me an estimate that evening. The repair was completed in a day and I was very satisfied with the result. I thought his pricing was reasonable and I was very happy with how the repair came out. I was also impressed with how quickly he was able to complete the repair. No regrets hiring and recommending Miguel for another tile repair."

"Pilar Bohorquez and his team are masters of their craft, they performed a tile installation at my residence at Solera in the north east side of Bakersfield, from the beginning, Pilar was forthcoming about the time and resources it would take for his team to complete the project. The team was communicative as to their progress throughout the process. Their meticulous planning, attention-to-detail, and precision that went into a project like mine is truly unparalleled. I implore you to give them your business, You won’t regret it, he is a man of his word, I didn't need to sign any contract, from the beginning I knew he could be trusted, a young guy doing his best to satisfy his customers, by performing quality work at a fair cost, I am convinced that in short time his repeat and referral customer ratio will be higher. Shall you need more input on him, just drop me a quick email: [email protected]"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

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. 

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.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
