"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

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.

If you’re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop material. It typically costs between $50 to $70 per square foot.

Compared to quartz, porcelain is slightly more affordable, as quartz generally ranges from $50 to $200 per square foot. However, lower-quality, builder's grade quartz can be similar in price to porcelain.

Compared to granite, the price can be similar, depending on the quality of the stone. While granite slabs can range from $50 to $200 per square foot, you can find lower-end granite in the same price range as porcelain. High-end granites will cost significantly more.

Porcelain is generally more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic, but less expensive than high-end slate, concrete, and marble. A key benefit is that porcelain does not require sealing, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
