"Wow, what a great experience I had with Nathan with NK Carpentry yesterday afternoon! He arrived early to power wash 7 large outdoor Polywood pieces of furniture and an outdoor rug that were heavily covered with nicotine stains. He is very professional, yet friendly and approachable. He verified what I wanted done and got right to work. He finished in just a little over 2 hours and got about 99% of the stains off of all of the furniture…they look brand new! And then he wound up the hose and hung it back up; laid out the furniture pieces in the sun so they’d dry and made sure I was satisfied with his work before I paid him with a check, shook hands and said goodbye. I’d hire him in a minute to do other work! He’s a young, very hard worker; efficient; cleans up when he’s finished with the job; had a very fair price and is determined to be a quality, successful businessman! I was extremely impressed!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

Ceramic tile can be slightly less expensive than porcelain pavers. You can find outdoor ceramic tile for as little as $1 per square foot, but high-end options tend to cost the same as porcelain.

Popular options include ceramic, porcelain, stone, and glass tiles, chosen based on the area (bathroom, kitchen) and desired aesthetic.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
