"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!"
"What I thought was high quality work turned out to be shoddy in several places. When I discovered there were tiles riding up I contacted the contractor, they came out and replaced and admitted it was shoddy work, Now Floor tiles are riding up in the bedroom and other places in the house. I think they thought the work was done correctly and they did come back out and do some repairs and admitted it was poor installation. They have since fired those people. Its hard for me to not recommend them because of the customer service we got. I am however not considering them for additional work due to the multiple issues we keep having."

Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
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.
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.
Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.
