"Juan and his team did a wonderful job. They did the grout around the tub and toilet. They pressure washed and repainted the whole house and it turned out awesome."
"My home flooring is so nice. I have always wanted tile flooring and now I have them. And I get so many compliments and it must have cost a pretty penny because I had such a large area done. But I found HBJ Enterprises, Inc to be the most reasonable when I was searching for a contractor."

"The pro was absolutely wonderful. Not only did he do a great job on the projects (one of which was to restore a bathroom cabinet that I didn’t think could possibly be fixed to the degree he did), but he was able to work with me when scheduling issues. I am very grateful to have worked with him."
"Lawsons Discount Flooring and More arrived on time for both the estimate & installation. The team was very polite and professional. The floors look amazing . Pricing was the icing on top!!! I would definitely use them again and recommend their services."
"Worked with Jason for product selection, in home measuring, pricing, and scheduling. There were a few mishaps along the way, but each time I called and spoke with Kim and she handled everything professionally and quickly. Mishaps included: late arrival for in home measuring, install date had to be rescheduled, and on actual install date, carpet on stairs was missed on order. Late arrival for in home wasn't that big a deal for me, but could be for others. I called the day before the original install date to reschedule to be told that my carpet had not arrived and I was not on the schedule, but that my carpet could be on the dock, they just had not in processed yet. Not a big deal since I was calling to reschedule anyway. On install day, installers arrived and did not know about carpet for stairs so did not have it. At 8 months pregnant I was not pleased with this and called their office in tears. Kim was extremely nice and made a miracle happen and the carpet showed up the same day and was installed. Overall would use again and recommend for others."
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.
Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.
There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.
Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
