"I was treated fairly and honestly… which is more than I can say for the other guys I worked with. They even came in and fixed my botched attempt at DIY on the job. Outstandingly professional work and very reasonable rate. I know that sounds vague, but our kitchen has never looked better. Reeves will take fantastic care of you as a client. For me, they showed up on a day’s notice and got the jobs done. Twice. When does that ever happen on Aloha time?"

"Ongosia Uhatafe and his workers did a great job remodeling two bathrooms. The job was completed on time, on budget and very professionally. I especially appreciated his workers cleaning up each evening, including vacuuming and putting their materials out of our way."

"I’ve hired Soso Remodeling for various projects over the years, including kitchens, bathrooms, decks, and porches, and I’ve never been disappointed with Octavian's workmanship. Each project required different materials like ceramic, porcelain, marble, quartzite, and other natural stones, along with unique layouts, and Octavian has handled everything with expertise. Communication has always been clear from the start, which ensures there are no misunderstandings or issues during the project. I’ve always been impressed by the quality of his work, his attention to detail, and his ability to adapt to the specific needs of each job. I’ll definitely hire Octavian again and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality remodeling work!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.
