"Juan did an excellent job. Best quality of work I’ve had done in ages. Great communication. Great attention to detail. Great care taken of the work area. Juan cut the tile and matched the pattern beautifully and included us in making the choices for tile spacing and layout. I am picky. Super picky. This tile work was perfectly done. I will hire Juan again without question."

"We were having trouble getting a tile guy out to our house to do a small repair. Jose came out and did a very good job and I was appreciative of his coming out for a small repair. I would recommend him for a big or small job."

"Olmer communicated very well throughout the project and is very professional. The job was delayed twice as a result of the tile company we selected not meeting its delivery commitment, but Olmer rescheduled with me both times to complete the job quickly. The price was fair (not cheap) and the work is excellent. I would definitely hire Olmer again for the next tile project."

"I couldn’t be more pleased with our tile floors. The team at The Hard Part Tile and Repairs really went above and beyond. The layout and design, the precision and attention to detail as well as the diligence and dedication of the install, specifically in the meticulous and difficult cuts required to finish our job and in such small, tight spaces really showcase both their professionalism and their creative craftsmanship. The team were on-time, communicative, upfront and they kept their word, even when the job was more tough than any of us realised. They worked with us and we felt we were partners in the project the whole way through. They treated our home like theirs and it shows in the floors and we look forward to additional projects upcoming in the near future. Give them a call, you won’t regret it."

"Victor did an amazing job installing the backsplash in my kitchen, he was very professional, clean, and kept me updated on the process of when the tile would arrive and what paint in the project they had finished. I highly recommended and will definitely be using him again in the future."

"Gavin was punctual, tidy, pleasant, and did beautiful tile work. I appreciated that he was the one who came to look at the job and also who did the work - he didnâ t hand it off to someone else. I had prepped the shower walls with Kerdi-board but didnâ t do the most level job. Luckily, Gavin has decades of experience and was able to save our tile install from being a disaster! Will be sure to call him once itâ s time to remodel the second bathroom. Highly recommend GM tile."

"Victor is outstanding! Meticulous work, very dependable and I LOVE my new tile. He stepped in after a long project- revamped the pan, placed tile and grouted. From start to finish perfect job. I would highly recommend Victor and his crew. Excellent experience!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.

Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
