"We had major flood. Company was asked to install tile for flooring, shower, and bathtub. vanity and counter top. As well as flooring for three bedrooms and a long hallway. Excellent service, always prompt and informative. Definitely looks out for the customer."
"After selling my home , I had several tiles that needed some attention. Sean was punctual honest and even had to adjust his schedule to help me complete my to do list. We are very pleased with the outcome of our project, and highly recommend Sean and Son."
"They did an amazing job especially on my barrel sink which has been a dream since I first seen one done years ago!!! Now I have my own thanks to them!!! Over all the bathroom is absolutely gorgeous bringing back a bathtub which was once a tile shower. Thank you all so much"
"They showed up when they said they would and immediately went to work. They wiped the baseboards, around the tops of the doors, washed the doors, dusted, polished, and cleaned all surfaces, vacuumed, mopped, and made my house sparkle. They began cleaning at one end of the house and finished up in my kitchen. They were worried when they couldn't get my white ceramic kitchen tiles (with white grout) as clean as they wanted. I told them that the floors were better looking than when I clean them and also let them know that I have a tile cleaning service come in once a year to get them bright white again. I foster cats so there were furry dustballs floating around and they managed to make them disappear. They were not bothered by the friendlier cats coming around to "investigate" their work. When I checked out Angie's List on cleaning services, I noticed one negative review was written on MB Cleaning. I put that review in perspective because of the many other great reviews--sure glad I did that because I found out the great reviews were spot on correct. I had used another nationally known service earlier this year but was so unhappy with them that I almost gave up on finding a good cleaning service. Because Mandy and Lorileee took pride in their work and did a superior job, I have hired them to clean my house every other week. I really don't think I could have found a better cleaning service! "
The underlayment determines a ceramic tile’s sturdiness, and a cement board or backer board works best. Be sure to tape the joints when using these materials, and consider laying it on top of a layer of thin-set for more stability.
It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.
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.
Replacing tile flooring can take a few days for a pro, but larger rooms will need more time. It takes eight to 12 hours for a tiling pro to remove old grout and tiles across 100 square feet. Then, it will take about four hours to prep the subfloor for tiles and another eight to 10 hours for a pro to install new tiles. Your tiling project may take up to a week, depending on the size of the room.
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
