"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."

"We were totally pleased with John’s work and expertise. During our home remodel we took two bathrooms back to stud walls and reconfigured the showers and bath. Our description of John’s work in setting the tile is nothing short of artistry! John also laid ceramic floor tiles throughout the house. He was neat and efficient, and we could not be more pleased with the final product."

"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!"

"We had a large 120 so foot kitchen backsplash floor to ceiling around doors and windows tile job with a very delicate 1-inch diamond shaped penny tile. The tile contractors our general kitchen contractor hires walked off the job and said they couldnâ t work with this tile. Rayo tile saved the day! I got 4 bids that were all pretty close in price. They werenâ t the cheapest but they were the best. Constant communication. Showing up on time. Incredible work and we had a very difficult tile to work with. Cleaned their workspace. These guys are professionals like all contractors should be. Hire them."

"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."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

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.

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.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.
