"Polion Flooring Co. did an amazing job on our mudroom tile! They were friendly, showed up on time, and the quality of work is great. Highly recommend their services."
"I had a ceramic tile shower installed and I?m very happy with the result. The work was done professionally, on time, and with great attention to detail. I highly recommend this contractor."
"Camp installed a tub surround, 3 tiled showers, and tiling in 4 bathrooms and an entrance hall floor. Great communication and hard working installers who showed up early and left late to get the job done. At initial walk through, Cristiano had an eye for the details of each room, and was able to spot some areas of concern related to plumbing and trim work. He offered solutions and design suggestions that resulted in a great look."
"Drew is meticulous with his craft. The tile in our bathroom shower was laid out with amazing precision, spacing the tile cuts perfectly symmetrical around the drain. He installed a double wide shower niche that coordinated with our floor tile. The wall tiles were cut and applied perfectly. We originally contracted to just replace our walk-in shower but were surprised that the old shower installation was done improperly and had caused severe water damage to the plywood subfloor that extended beyond the shower to the floor. We then contracted with him to replace the floor. The floor was installed with radiant heat wiring below and came out beautifully. Drew is professional and pleasant, maintained a clean and safe work site and kept us informed every step of the way. We are extremely pleased with the quality and beauty of our new shower and floor. We are happy to have found and hired a true craftsman."
"Sam was/is great. He was very professional and knowledgeable, polite, and personable. He was able to answer all our questions about the back-splash install. He did an amazing job. I'm looking forward to asking Sam to come back to help with some other projects we will be doing in the future. Sam is excellent."
"The Silvestre Tile team saved my kitchen. The way the men worked so diligently and timely made them really stick out. Would recommend them to anyone that needs tile work. I will definitely be asking them for help in the near future for all my tile needs"
"They were fast, professional and very well priced. They re-tiled my bathroom floor and did a fantastic job. It came out beautiful and I am so happy with the results! I would definitely use them again on future projects."
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
Altering the layout of your bathroom will make a big difference as moving or adding plumbing quickly inflates your total bill. While you can recoup more of your cost (in home value terms) by adding a bathroom, rearranging the layout won’t affect your home’s sticker value. However, strategic placements that allow more light or better flow may increase buyer interest.
Yes, tiling a bathroom is a great way to boost your home's value, especially if you are replacing old or dated flooring. Adding a new tile floor can deliver a return on investment (ROI) of around 56.4%, with some projects offering up to 100% ROI. Buyers appreciate new tile because it provides a modern look and is known for being durable, water-resistant, low-maintenance, and easy to clean. For the best results and highest return, consider hiring a professional, as tiling mistakes can be very noticeable and detract from the value.
If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
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.
