"The RS team showed up with less than one week notice and were able to fit my project in between some others they had going on. I needed some tile replaced in my shower, and they were willing to help. The job took them about 5 hours and the results were amazing. 10/10, would recommend to anyone needing work done! They were professional, timely, and descriptive with their repairs. I will be using them again in the future!"
"If you're looking to update your bathroom tub and tile, Clint is your guy, I found him to be a very personable guy who knows the business extremely well. Just as some of the other reviews said, they are very efficient and professional. In my case I had the tub and tile resurfaced. You really can't believe it's the same tub and tile. Looks like someone went in there and installed brand new stuff. It took them about three hours to do mine, and my shower stall has tiles on the ceiling. I had considered removing the tub and tile and putting in new. A good friend of mine said that even though you might save a few bucks doing it that way, the headache and frustration isn't worth the aggravation it will cause. Not to mention you'll save a ton of time. My friend had done a few, and said this is my best option. Two things won my decision to go with CDH. First, the great reviews, and they were right. Second, was the gallery pictures on his website. It had been my experience in dealing with trades people that when I called I was expecting to get an assistant or a recording. Clint answered immediately, and was more than accommodating in fitting me into his schedule, I can't speak for when others can get their project done, but I called him on a Thursday, and they came on the following Monday. All in all, he's a great guy to hire!"

"Abbott Stone and Tile did an amazing job of installing glass and stone tile on the wall between our set of floating shelves. It looks incredibly beautiful and they worked efficiently, finishing the job in less time than I would have guessed. Dave Abbott does not pawn off his work to less-skilled others; he wants the end-product to look fantastic and he assures that by maintaining a very high standard. And it was a great deal for the money! Thank you Abbott Stone and Tile!!!"
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.
Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.
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.
If you hire a professional to lay tile, you can expect to pay $3 to $15 per square foot for labor. For a 100-square-foot tiling project, that would equal $30 to $150 in labor. These costs may increase if you need extra services (such as tile removal, wall repair, or waterproofing). For example, tile removal costs an additional $2 to $7 per square foot.
