"Genaro “cowboy” Salazar, owner of Explosive City Tile, is a perfectionist and a pleasant personality to work with. I hired Genaro to fix previous a bad ceramic tile installation. So I needed a perfectionist to put everything right. Being a perfectionist is his selling point."

"Going with a stacked tile backsplash we were very concerned about alignment and precision, which had been an issue with a previous tile contractor. To our delight, Jason's attention to detail was higher than even our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the final result of our tile backsplash, and of all the pieces of our remodel puzzle, the process and experience was the smoothest. We will definitely use him again for future tile projects, and we have already starting recommending him to others."

"Excellent. John worked efficiently and in a workman like manner, taking into consideration all factors. His concrete step turned out solid as a rock and perfectly proportioned to receive the tiles. The tile work was beautifully done."

"Refined remodeled my bathroom, removing the old fiberglass tube and shower and replacing with a stunning tile shower with glass doors. Jorge and Sal were an amazing team to work with on this project. They were always prompt, professional and communicative. The vertical tile work was exceptional."

"Had one minor setback to start (timelines got pushed after a few competing projects were delayed) but otherwise LG Tile was phenomenal. Once here, he communicated project status and progress every day. Our newly tiled fireplace turned out great. Craftsmanship was everything we had hoped for. Thanks again!"

"The workmanship was top-notch. Had about 1,000 sqft of Italian tile work done and it was perfect: Furniture moved, removal, tile and molding laid in great symmetry, 1/16 gap even throughout, price reasonable, and clean up was good. Just be patient with how long it will take-- perfection does take time. Now it looks beautiful. Thank you."

"I really canâ  t say anything negative about the company. After submitting my request with Home Adviser, I was contacted immediately by the owner, Rodney Carrillo, who set up a time, the following day, to look over the job. A contract and bid were sent to my e-mail address later that day. When the project began, they arrived on time, were very neat, polite and knowledgeable about the work. They provided us with a schedule for the following five days. At the end, the tile was laid as you would expect from a professional tile company. Thank you Carrillo Tile, great job."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Silicone caulk shouldn’t be used in place of grout because each material serves its own purpose. Thanks to its flexibility, silicone caulk is good for sealing around the perimeter of tiled floors, where movement and expansion might occur. However, grout is more durable, making it a better option for the joints in between tiles, which need to withstand constant weight and foot traffic.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
