"Both projects turned out beautifully, in spite of problems that Steve had to overcome with the original cheap tile. The original tile turned out to be very brittle and was incredibly difficult to remove. We had to take some detours to get to our end product, but Steve's creativity helped to overcome the unforeseen and turned out a wonderful result.

The second project was to remove our ruined carpet in our master bedroom and install a fantastic new product from Italy. The tiles look exactly like a wood floor. He laborously installed the tiles, using a 1/32nd inch grout line, which made the tiles look exactly like wood. A colored latex grout was the perfect finish."

"It went very well. Julian communicated with me throughout the whole process. I had additional requests that Y&M were not expecting, but took care of very admirably. Tile, mortar, and caulking is very beautiful. English and Spanish communication is very fluent. Definitely would recommend!"

"Entire process was quick and easy. Left v/m to set appointment and received callback within 10 minutes. Arrived on time and had no problem getting out some tough pet and kid stains on white carpet. Whole process took no more than 45 minutes and the carpets looked great and were approved by two tough critics - my wife's mother and grandmother."

"Cutting Edge Tile did an excellent job. They showed up when expected and had a plan in place each day. They had very good design ideas with options for each area to be tiled. The work went smoothly without any issues that weren`t figured out quickly. The quality of work was spot on. We have used Cutting Edge Tile for several jobs and have not been disappointed. We will be using them again soon. Pictures available upon request."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

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.
