"Kole took on a very challenging tile job for us. We had started the project ourselves and could not complete the work due to time constraints and condo rules. We ran out of some tile and had too much of other tile. Some of the tile we could not get, so Kole had to do some very creative things to deal with the lack of tile and the abundance. He has also returned to the job to replaced some loose tiles that we installed. Kole does what he says he is going to do and is on time which is very rare in the construction industry."

"LG Tile is the best. We had a very large complete renovation project and it turned out better than we ever expected. LG Tile managed the process, advised on the tile selections, helped with the design, and followed-through with every detail. We had many contractors on this project and LG Tile was the most amazing and transformed every room into a work of art! Amazing company for a most competitive cost and unsurpassed quality."

"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."

"Gomez Tile Design is absolutely the best for installing tile. I used to flip properties and thus I have extensive experience working with contractors. I can tell you that with Gomez Tile Design, Samuel and Abel, were always on time, super conscientious, discarded all the waste and left the job super clean. In addition, their workmanship is superior, from the way they layout the tile to the grout lines. I totally recommend them if you are looking for perfection."

"We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Rene and his team. They installed a new backsplash in our kitchen and the quality exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail was outstanding. They were thorough with the cleanup after the job was done, which made the entire experience even better. It’s clear they take great pride in their work snd care about their customers. I recommend R.G. Tile to anyone looking for high-quality tile work and exceptional service."

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 attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.

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.
