"After I took off the old tile and replaced the cement board in my shower, I hired Fran to seal/waterproof the cement board and re-tile the shower. Fran and James (his assistant) were friendly, punctual, and worked both quickly and carefully. Fran did very well matching up the tile design in an asymmetrical space, and he talked me into using another (smaller) kind of tile on the ceiling, which was the right call. I thought his fee was reasonable, and I wouldnâ t hesitate to use Fran again on another tiling project. He knows his stuff!"

"Nelson arrived at the time designated. He has a great personality, is an extremely hard worker and takes pride in what he does. I had my marble kitchen counters and marble floors restored. The end result is that they look better than new. I highly recommend Nelson for any marble restoration projects. He also followed up the next day to ask if everything looked fine."

"We hired the team to help us renovate a home before we moved in. They worked tirelessly to complete the project within a month so we could move in ASAP. Most of the home was redone and it came out amazing. We can not thank them enough!!"

"I dealt with the owner Paul who really understands all homes are not alike. He gave me options and didn't try and push some deal of the month on me. He was able to custom order what I needed and install it professionally. He even painted the trim and cleaned up the mess!"

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.

Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

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.
