"I’m very happy with my new tile floor installed by Renato and his crew at Pride Home Remodeling. They installed porcelain tiles on 300 sf of kitchen and hallway. They took great care moving appliances and demolishing the old floor. The debris was contained well and the area was always left as neat as possible at the end of each day. The installation was meticulous. The tiles and grout lines are even and the floor feels very stable (unlike my previous install which had to be replaced) . Communication with Renato was very easy and he kept me informed along the way. When the job was finished everything was put back and care was taken that all appliances were reconnected properly and in working order. I’m so happy with this floor and the work that was done."

"Thiago not only completely fixed my sinking kitchen sink and repaired an ugly crack in my granite; he also brought a plummer to ensure that the installation of my new (under lifetime warranty) faucet went smoothly for me. He explained what he needed to do to fix everything before he arrived to do the job, and was extremely reassuring about the lasting strength of his work. Thiago went the extra mile in every respect and deserves the best rating possible in all areas!!"

"Brian and David did an amazing job with our kitchen, just above and beyond what one could expect. Brian took apart an entire partial wall frame, built a new one, moved existing electrical outlets and installed the drywall. He is personable and informative. Would hire again in no time."

"We had WS Builders install a cedar privacy fence around the perimeter of our yard. They did an excellent job building the fence to follow a curve in the corner of our property along with a gate on the opposite end. They were very responisve in our initial communications and a professional crew to work with, completeing the job within one day. I would recommend them to anyone."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.
