Customers say: Quality work

"What began as a bathroom floor tiling job turned into a full bathroom remodeling job. Pablo Carrera and his talented crew saved our bathroom from complete deterioration. Who knew the shower and window were leaking? And for how long. They replaced rotten and moldy wood, built a beautiful bathroom, and left the place spotless. Everyone involved was friendly and professional, and the top-notch work was done at a very reasonable price."

"Austin was awesome! He gave me a bid to tile my exterior front porch which he honored even though it took a little longer (labor wise) than he expected. Most of that was my fault as I told him we were buying porcelain tile but we ended up buyer slate tile. He pivoted and proceeded to install. Once he had a few rows installed he said this will look better with a “enhancer” sealer that will darken the tile ( which we wanted) and it would protect it as well. This was specific to natural stone. Since we told him porcelain he didn’t have that with him so after hours he went and purchased it and then showed me how to apply so I could maintain the natural stone every 6 months or so. Austin was always on time and showed up on the days he said he would be at my house. And most importantly was always in a good mood and seemed to genuinely like what he does for a living! I whole heartily recommend Austin and his crew and have already recommended him to others!!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing. 

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.
