"I hired Sal to install ceramic tile on two bathroom floors and tub surrounds and was very happy with his work. He was easy to work with, reliable, and has great attention to detail and completing the work the correct way. His pricing is fair works with the client closely to complete the job. I highly recommend Sal and will use him again in future projects!"

"Marius does beautiful tile work in a pleasant and professional manner. We replaced pipes in both of our showers and Marius did an excellent job at replacing the wall and installing tile in one shower and remodeling the second shower from acrylic to ceramic and marble tile. Marius was responsive and helpful every time I called him in the planning process. He is true to his name â ¦ a beautiful tile pro"

"They ended up having to remove the shower tile and replace it. They also did a kitchen backsplash. Both turned out beautiful. We appreciated their guidance on tile choices. We chose tiles for the kitchen that came in three closely matching colors. We showed the technician a picture of the display at the store and he immediately came up with a plan and installed them in a gorgeous random-like pattern. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with."

"Our tile floor is 25 years old and had several loose tiles and places with missing grout. Eric, one of the partners, performed the work. The work was performed as scheduled and in a reasonable time frame. Eric readily responded to any concerns. The floor and tub surround now look like new."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you’ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.

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.

Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn’t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles. 

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.
