"Mike installed a ceramic tile backsplash in the kitchen - white tile with dark grey grout. He also installed a very tricky antique glass tile in the bar area. It all came out beautifully! He is the nicest most professional person a to work with! He responds to calls or texts, he follows up, and he does amazing work also! I would definitely hire Mike again."
"Tom showed up right on time and went right to work. Because the tile was made of clay and was textured the cutting of the fragile tile took care and experience. He did a wonderful job. He arrived the second day and in quick order he grouted the entire backsplash. On both days he left the work area all cleaned up. He is a true pro. He knows his craft. I’ve already hired him to do other tile work in my back hall to the mud room"

They cleaned up at the end of the project and made sure we were happy with their work before leaving. They were even thoughtful enough to remove their shoes before entering the home! I highly recommend Claudio and his team!"

Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.
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.
