Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Stearns, KY

Q: How much does tile installation or repair cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.</p></div>

Q: What is the best trowel for penny tile?

• <div><p>The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you&rsquo;re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.</p></div>

Q: How do you use T-shaped tile spacers?

• <div><p>Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You&rsquo;ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you&rsquo;re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile or retile a bathroom?

• <div><p>On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time&mdash;typically 24 hours each&mdash;for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.</p></div>

Q: Should tile trim match the grout or the tile?

• <div><p>Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.</p></div>

"Over a period of approximately 3 weeks, water-damaged, drop ceiling tiles, drywall/insulation and carpeting was removed from a basement bedroom following a leak in a water pipe in the ceiling. They treated the studs to remove mold and left a dehumidifier/ large fans to dry out the studs and floor.
Installed new insulation and drywall, new ceiling tiles, then painted entire room. Carpet was re-installed in the bedroom and stairwell so carpet would match throughout.
The work performed was excellent and personnel were courteous. Besides having some issues with the personnel arriving when scheduled to arrive, we were very satisfied with the whole experience.
