"Alex was very professional and did a great job installing tile around a jacuzzi tub. He also installed vinyl plank flooring on the entire lower level of the house. He was on time and finished when he said he would. Would I refer him to others? The answer is YES. He is now doing a bathroom remodel for my sister. Highly recommend!"

"Brandon and crew did a good job. They painted my house, replaced carpet with wood floor and put tile down in bathrooms. Very friendly and polite. After job was completed everything was cleaned and trash was hauled away. I would highly recommend New Age Flooring."

"

I had tile flooring installed last year in my kitchen and noticed how the grout was cracking throughout the kitchen. I called South Gate Home Improvements for an estimate to replace the tile. With a very reasonable estimate I had them to install the new tile.

Prior to him installing my new tile he showed me how the previous contractor did not screw down the backer board but used roofing nails instead which was the reason for my grout cracking. He spent the time correcting the deficiency and installed the new tile. The design I chose called for some precise cuts with the tile. Mr. Perabeau took his time and now I have beautiful solid tile flooring. I highly recommend him for all your remodeling needs."

"Company seemed professional and eager to help with our problem.  Promises of quality work were made.  Open-ended estimate given due to unknown seriousness of problem.  Also open-ended time frame given for same reason. Original time frame was a week to ten days, and it took 4 weeks. Problem was worse than originally thought.  They did a great job tearing out and rebuilding floor and walls, cleaning up and hauling away debris.  We were very happy with the progress up to this point.   Unfortunately, something went wrong with the sealing of the marble tile on the floor and in the shower, which made it necessary to strip the sealer and buff the tile. At first they tried just polishing the tile, which didn't take off the sealer. Then they  used a stripper, which caused the original sheen on the tile to be marred.  In most of the shower, the old sealer was not totally removed. They came back more than once to fix the problem and left with the problem not properly taken care of, as well as care  not being taken to prevent dust from getting all over the bedroom and the rest of the house. They offered to come back again, but by then we had enough of the mess the polishing was making in our house.  We also lacked confidence that they could fix the problem.  Also, in some places the grout was not done well with voids and gaps in it.  I had to clean old sealer off shower tile and re-grout places on the floor where grout was missing.  The marring of the tile from the stripper can still be seen, however.  We paid the full amount billed with no argument.  The project started with such high expectations but ended up with a sour taste in our mouth due to over promising and under performance."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.

The best types of tiles for a shower are ceramic and porcelain tiles. These materials are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for wet environments. Porcelain tiles are slightly more durable than ceramic. Both options come in a wide variety of styles, so you can achieve the perfect look for your bathroom.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.
