"Highly recommend Reeves, Dennis came out on a weekend to give us a quote and 4 days later Lin showed up to do the work. Very professional, neat and cleaned up after. He even went over and above to fix a couple of grout areas that were worn down. Will definitely call them whenever I need tile work done."

"All I can say is that Kurt is the best contractor I have found in my 10 years on Oahu. Not only was he timely in responding but was punctual everyday. Kurts craftsmanship is second to none. Decided he didn’t like how one tile looked after completed and took it out even though we would have never noticed it. Kurt also install trim which was done with precision. Kurt is a breath of fresh air in a otherwise hit or miss contractor market."
"Sosso did an absolutely beautiful job installing the complicated ceramic and marble tiles in our master bathroom. He did the tiles in the shower, walls, and floors. He communicated well with us, worked very hard to do a perfect job (long days to get it done), and he was very easy to work with overall!!"

"Had a contractor that ended up doing more damage than you can imagine! My wife and I were devastated! Fired him and began looking for solutions to the botched 500 sq ft ceramic tile job. I found Kyle on Angies list. His reviews were great! I reached out to him and he responded back within 8 hrs. Set up an appointment to have him estimate the job. Upon meeting Kyle I immediately could tell he was personable, professional and competent! He did not mince words and was direct about the repair: The tile would need to be pulled up and reapplied..properly! After more conversation, my wife and I contracted Kyle and his team. Kyle really shared our pain and wanted to make our home whole again and restore our happiness. (It’s very hard to find that type of compassion these days) The job was finished in 3 days, quicker than expected! That included: complete demo of botched job, materials, hauling debris, prepping, installation and finishing. The result is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! My wife and I are extremely pleased with the craftsmanship of the install! Kyle and his son Malaki are true craftsman! VERY friendly, punctual, communicative, down to earth and business oriented! You can search for better but, I doubt you will receive the same service that Toa & Kyle’s Home Solutions offer! Chance em’! You won’t regret it! Worth every penny and some!"
"MMM Tile provided top of the line service. Three tile projects were completed in my home and all three came out excellent. I highly recommend this company."
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.
Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.
A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.
You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat—it’s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops.
Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
