"Javier was great! Very responsive, quickly fit us into his schedule, promptly showed up each day as expected and completed the work in a timely manner! We absolutely love the work he did... actually better than the original job that was completed in our great room! We had asked for 1/16 gaps between our tiles and noticed the original job was about 1/8 gaps... Javier delivered exactly what we expected!!! Would definitely use him again for other tile work!!!"
"Did a great job, floors came out great.Were very accommodating when we had to reschedule several times. My only quibble was that at the very end there were a lot of handprints on doorknobs, etc. Would recommend them though"

"The salesman and the workers were all professional and helpful. I had carpet installed in an empty three bedroom house, and vinyl tiles in two bathrooms, so it went pretty smoothly. Everything looks great! The only problems were the dust in the bathrooms from scraping the linoleum off the concrete slab, and the fact that the workers did not install the luan sub-flooring before the tiles. I was quickly refunded the cost of the missing underlayment. I'll hire them again!"

"Our fifty year old basic beige tile countertop was cracked and looked terrible. But to replace the entire kitchen's tile work with Formica or granite would have been extremely expensive and would have looked weird with our older wood cabinets. We thought maybe by getting some Mexican tile laid in to the damaged area and a new stainless steel sink, we could save some money and retain the old house charm. Daniel was extremely careful and worked with us through some very tricky installation issues. The results were wonderful! So colorful and tasteful! It turned out better than we had hoped! Now, instead of a repair job that hid broken tile in our kitchen, the sink has become one of the favorite places in the house! Well done, Daniel!!!"
Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.
The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost.
Tile ratings are as follows:
Grade 0: Walls only
Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors
Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire.
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.
Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
