"Wow, Pat and his crew are amazing! Had him tear out fiberglass insert and do a full tiles shower, walls and floor. A+. Very punctual, clean,detailed and straight forward. You would be crazy to use anyone else. He also laid tile down on the floor as well and gave me some free tiles he had from a previous job at no cost!"
"Chris is a very professional and meticulous tile installer. From the start he did everything he said heâ  d do. He was very responsive to any correspondence . He replaced my shower floor and I am beyond happy! If you need tile work I highly recommend Chris and you wonâ  t be disappointed! This job was in a condo building and Chris was very respectful of the rules."
"Absolutely amazing job. On time, good craftsmanship. He knows what he is doing. The installed tile walls are square and plumb. I will hire him again to tile my other bathroom"
"Excellent backsplash installation service. Great finish, well-aligned tiles, and a very polite, punctual, and organized professional. Highly recommend!"
"Jean was great. We hired him to demo our cracked concrete garage floor and re-pave it with new concrete. He is professional, showed up on time and completed the work as promised. His crew were efficient and courteous. We are very happy with the results and would recommend him."
"Brian is great. Came down to assess the damage and was back in 2 days with a new window. He also fixed a broken screen at no charge. Definitely would recommend."
"I did not like the job timing. The workers showed up on a Friday at 6:00 P.M. to start the job of removing the old floor. The returned Saturday morning to complete the installation of the new floor. Although it was an excellent job done with very good materials I did not appreciate it taking two days instead of the one day promised by the salesman. Also you have to pay for the warranty, in reality Empire does not warranty anything. The workers did do a professional job in every respect Empire should limit their work load so they don't arrive so late to start a job."

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot,which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot,which is about the same as porcelain.
The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.
Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.
To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.
Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.
