"Santos and his team did a fabulous job. They installed 24" ceramic tiles after removing our old flooring. Due to some leveling issues they had to do some extra work but were more than willing to make sure the job was done right. I would HIGHLY recommend Tile Pro S Home Improvement to anyone. The price was very competitive and the job was finished on time."
"They have been my flooring for over 20 years and 3 houses. Very prompt, professional, and skilled installers. Their prices are always very competitive. Cannot say enough about them. Chuck Sauder"
"If I could give more stars I would! Mike and his team were fantastic to work with. They paid attention to the details during the entire project, from the estimate, work and finishing. I had tile removed and replaced, dry wall, paint and a fan installed. I have already had them on board for my next project. I highly recommend Davisson Home Improvement!"
"Nick and Steve were awesome! They were knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient and got our gas fireplace working after years of not being able to find someone to service it. Thank you!!"
"Overall great job. very professional everything was finished on schedule Tile looks wonderful. Great customer service. Gave me exactly what I wanted I couldn't be happier. I have 3 projects in the future that I will be having them back to do"
"Professional and timely. The marble in the powder room was awesome, very shiny and even cleaned the grout. The kitchen tile was cleaned and grout had some permanent stains so spot color sealant was used. Overall, it looks great but would have requested the entire grout be color sealed. A clear sealer was used. Our grout had not been professionally cleaned, sealed for 10 yrs. They didn a great job and would use again."
"We were looking to remodel our home and give it a touch of freshness and style and they succeeded. We were happy with the results. They did it quickly and cleanly."
"I was very satisfied with the quality of the drywall repair that A Step Above did for me. I had several rooms in my house in need of some major TLC and they definitely delivered. They let me know about pricing and what to expect up front and answered all of my questions while being professional throughout the entire process. Everything turned out great and now you can't even tell where the damage was in the first place."
"Reliable, skilled. Installed our bidet, replaced faucets, Caulked neatly and completed work another plumber failed to complete. Fair costs with great results. Dependable with excellent quality. Respectful of home cleaning up after job completed."
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.
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
Professional installation ensures a uniform, durable surface, and proper sealing, and guarantees workmanship quality, preventing future issues linked to water damage or instability.
The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.
