"I hired Sal to install new porcelain tile in my kitchen and laundry room. Sal was very professional and responsive throughout the entire process, from the initial quote estimate through final installation. Sal did a great job leveling my floor to ensure the tile floor would be even throughout the room. I was very impressed with Sal's attention to detail throughout the installation process. He is extremely knowledgeable and is willing to go the extra mile to ensure a successful project. I highlight recommend Sal for any tile installation projects."

"Antonio Alvarez was outstanding! Our tile looks great. He completed on time and for the amount agreed to. I actually gave more for completing the job on my short timeline. I would definitely use Pizzo Tile again!!"

"Michael tiled my concrete outdoor patio. I used a large interlocking tile that required a lot of cutting and fitting and Michael did a very professional job and did it quickly. Two of my neighbors saw the work and were so impressed they ask for his business card for future tile work at their homes. Michael works quickly, clean, and kept me informed as the work progressed. I highly recommend him."

"Avanti Stone was incredibly transparent and informative throughout the entire process, giving me a clear picture of current status and next steps in the project. The resulting work was high quality and the team was flexible given a hiccup we experienced from the place we bought our tiles (unrelated to Avanti). I wouldn't hesitate to use Avanti Stone again if I needed to do any tile installation."

"This company did a wonderful job fixing my ceramic tile floor after some sewer work had to be done. He cut the tiles precisely, matched the exact same pattern, and everything was left spotless. He remained patient with us while there were some questions that we had. His attention to detail while cutting ceramic tile at a precise point was amazing."

"Raymond and his team did an outstanding job in my Mom's kitchen. The kitchen looks like a whole different kitchen. They kept to their timeline and budget. They were clean, fast and efficient. We added a few changes to the project and they were very accommodating. They not only do cabinets, they painted and replaced the granite counter. We would totally recommend New Color Cabinets! Thank you for all your hardwork, Carmen Mateo"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

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.

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). 

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.
