"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."

"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."

"Great job, professional, beautiful work at a reasonable price. Made my 100 year house that much bettet- Vince and crew laid slate tile in my kitchen, back hallway and bathroom. They went way above and beyond the original job spec. moved gigantic 8 burner stove (twice), moved fridge, replaced underlayment under toilet, r& r toilet and dishwasher, rebuilt custom cabinet for dishwasher...and so much more. The slate tile was a bear to lay- many cuts and the 'real' stuff so none of it exactly the same. Would recommend him and hire again given the need."

"I come from a family of painters so my expectations were high. I had a dated oak shelving unit that went floor to ceiling on both sides of a brick fireplace. New Color Cabinets came out to give estimate and started the job the following Monday. They sanded, primed and painted a creamer white, removed shelves and cabinet doors and painted them at the paint studio. The job looks terrific and has brightened the entire room. The company is so professional, attentive to details and incredibly neat. I highly recommend this company and can’t wait to use them again."

Ceramic Tile FAQs, answered by experts

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.

Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

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).
