Customers say: Quality work

"Pablo personally did our small tile jobs in both upstairs bathrooms after we had to install new tube/shower plumbing units, and his work was excellent. He is very courteous and professional and finished the jobs in good time. He also was able to handle the remaining plumbing work, installing the handle/faucet unit for us. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any tile work."

"If you need your floors re-done, look no further for someone to do it. Paul and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. I had them remove carpeting and replace it with hardwood floors in my living and dining rooms. I’ve had a lot of work done to houses throughout the years and I’m very picky with the work I want done. Paul and his guys rate toward the top. He and his crew show up when they say they’re going to and they do the work. Paul answers his calls and messages and let’s you know what’s going on. I couldn’t be more pleased."

Small jobs welcome

"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

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Larger tiles can be difficult to install because they’re heavier and bulkier than their smaller counterparts, which makes them harder to haul around and put in place. Plus, if you don’t install the tiles correctly, they could crack or break. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a professional for large-format tile installation.
