"Flavius was extremely professional and highly efficient. He had better ideas on how to replace the pool tiles than I had. Next season he most likely will redo our bathroom."
"Matt is awesome. His company did my entire first floor. Demo'ed all the old flooring and installed new. We went with the ceramic tile planks that looks like hard wood. They did an awesome job. The floors looks beautiful and we could not be happier. Also, the job was done in March during the start of the pandemic, but Matt and his crew showed up everyday and completed the job with meticulous precision. If you are searching for a floor installer, hire Tempco and you will not be disappointed."
"Great experience! The team was professional, punctual, and the tile work came out beautifully. Attention to detail was top-notch, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality tile installation!"
"Ornel and Al did a great job and I am very pleased with the outcome. The tile was placed too closely to the electrical outlets and someone had to use a dremel to file the tile so the outlets could be installed, which was a pain. Ornel installed a 3 mural tile over my stove and took great care with the spacing and placement of that. I would hire them again!"
"I initially hired J M Begin Construction in January 2025 to renovate the 2nd floor of a 1930’s Cape Cod style home. Over the next several months the 2nd floor has been transformed into a very attractive and cozy heated two bedroom living quarters. J M Begin has proved to be exceptionally reliable, very attentive to my questions and concerns. His skill set acquired over many years experience in the building trades is outstanding. I would highly recommend J M Begin Construction."
"Anival was a delight to work with. We hired him to take down a small wall in remodeling a bedroom which he did quickly and beautifully. He is thoughtful and responsible."
"They were efficient and very polite. I am happy with my new floors and plan on hiring them for a few other projects. They are also very dog friendly which made things easier on me. I would highly recommend their services."
"Due to franchising and licensing arrangements I was actually helped by Luna - Empire's partner, and the installation was done by a third company working under the Empire/Luna umbrella - was a bit confusing at times but they made everything work and I am very satisfied with the new carpet."

No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.
The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
Pool remodel costs are pricey, so you want to make sure you do it right. The best pool tile for you is one that looks great and fits your budget. If you have your heart set on a particular tile but can’t afford to tile your whole pool in that style, consider tiling only a small area or portion of your pool with specialty tile.
