"Marius was great to work with. He did a great job tiling four bathrooms, kitchen backsplash, mudroom tile, and fireplace surround. He made suggestions that made the tile appearance better even though added more work to his job. Overall project was performed on budget, within the time frame he provided, and looks a great. He worked with ceramic, porcelain, and marble in this job. We recommend Marius for any tiling work."

"Kyle and his team came in thousands under Mr. Floor" and responded quicker after a catastrophic pipe break destroyed the bathroom, floors and walls of our condo. His team installed the flooring throughout our unit and installed floor to ceiling bathroom tiles astoundingly fast. We couldn't be happier with the work done, and WE ARE BACK IN OUR HOME! Kyle and his team were professional, courteous and sensitive to our issue. They were knowledgeable and explained their work as they went. Estimates were fast and spot on. This was an insurance job. We appreciated Kyle's willingness to work within that environment. Highly recommended. Thanks, Footprints Floors!"

"The project was done to my satisfaction and that of my wife. We already knew what tiles I wanted and the measurements of the project so I knew what I needed to buy. I also bought an aluminum trim for the edge so contractor had to mount the backsplash only. It turned out nice. It was done with care and it took a day and a half. They left the lace clean and Mr. Martin supervises the whole project."

"Jeremy is now my 'go to' company for all my repair & remodeling needs. He & his crew arrived on time, completed installing several outside doors in neat & timely fashion. He also was able to tile a small entry porch, which totally changed the appearance of this doorway. I am totally pleased with the work done and the neat, orderly and professional matter that Grandview Construction provided."

"Called Nino's Tile after deciding I was going to replace my bathroom floor. My mother in law got a beautiful kitchen floor job done from them so she highly recommended them to me. I was not disappointed. They were prompt, professional and the attention to detail was outstanding. They truly are masters of their craft. They went over everything with me from picking the right kind of tile to which grout and color is best in the room. There were quite a few difficult angles and they made everything so clean and symmetrical. I knew replacing the flooring would make the room look better, but it came out even better than I expected. Would definitely recommend and will call Nino's when its time to replace other flooring!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

In some cases, granite tiles can be installed over existing flooring if the surface is level, stable, and free of moisture issues. However, removing old flooring is often recommended to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation, as well as to avoid height differences at thresholds. Consult with your flooring pro to determine the best approach based on your specific situation.

Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.

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).
