"Steve, Bama, Chris all great guys. Steve the owner is kind and knows how to get the job done for a good price. Their work was top quality. We had Steve redo the bathroom with tile in the shower and floor. Ripped out and gutted the previous shower, floor, and laid all new. Steve and the crew did a fantastic job. Tile laid great, quality craftsmanship with the work, and done at a fair price. Went to menards and just picked out what I wanted. Steve and his crew then picked it all up and transported it to my house no charge. Saved me a ton of time and hassle since I don t have a pickup. Steve and his crew were very trustworthy. I gave them a key and just said have at it when I went to work everyday. No problems at all. Always picked up at the end of the day and left the house livable and not a mess. They were true pros. One last point I want to make is the craftsmanship and how good the tile was laid. Alabama is a great guy who does fantastic work! Chris and Bama were a great team to have at the house and I would recommend them to you reading this review. I will be using them for my next tiling job - enough said. Thank you all."

"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process.

My wife and I have used World Painting several times over the last four years in two different houses.  The most recent project was a complete makeover of the outside of our home.  We consulted with the World Painting staff on the design (two tones) and the proper colors to use.  We are very happy with the outcomes; both the appearance and the quality of workmanship.

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

If you want your ceramic tiles to be evenly spaced and installation to take less time, spacers are a crucial part of the installation process.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.
