"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."

"Jim was incredibly responsive -- emailed/called me back promptly and gave me a very reasonable quote after I sent him a photo of the project. The project was tiling an area in the shower that had to be ripped out to fix a plumbing problem. He was able to do the project two days after I had contacted him. He and his coworker were punctual and did an excellent job. I definitely would hire Jim for future tiling projects."

"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."

"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

Altering the layout of your bathroom will make a big difference as moving or adding plumbing quickly inflates your total bill. While you can recoup more of your cost (in home value terms) by adding a bathroom, rearranging the layout won’t affect your home’s sticker value. However, strategic placements that allow more light or better flow may increase buyer interest.

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.

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.

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.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
