"I recently got my bathroom floor tiles changed with Flavius. He did a wonderful job! Took his time to properly install the flooring and even fixed the base flooring to make sure no issues will come up later on. I would definitely recommend him for your tile installation."

"I hired Welliz Contractors to prepare my rental property in Melrose after a tenant move-out. They handled painting, cleaning, and a variety of repairs throughout the unit. The work was completed professionally and on schedule, and the attention to detail was impressive. The apartment looked refreshed and move-in ready when they finished. Communication was excellent throughout the project, they were reliable, and the pricing was fair. As a property owner, it’s important to have contractors you can trust, and Welliz Contractors delivered quality work with no hassle. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable painting, repair, and cleaning services."

"Pat Greenlay is a true gentleman. He came to give me a quote when he said he would; he came to install the tiles on the day we agreed, on time; and he came on the day to finish the job! Very fair price and excellent workmanship."

"Ramy did an incredible job taking our old, outdated, and unsafe kitchen and turning it into a beautiful and modern one. He installed new floor joists, sub-flooring, floor tiling, cabinetry, backsplash tile, and a build-out for our oven hood insert. The process also included knocking out a wall, moving and modifying gas and water lines and many other smaller unforeseen details along the way. We appreciated how informative Ramy was as we moved through the process since we'd never taken on something of this size before. He even came with us to help pick out our floor tiles. We were both of a similar mindset that we wanted to focus on quality of all aspects of the job as opposed to making decisions solely based on cost. Do it once, do it right. In the end, this kitchen will last us many years and has alleviated several health and safety concerns that the old kitchen posed to our family. We will certainly be using Ramy's services again for future projects."

"Kevin works solo, so the job took about 1 month. During this time we did not have our stove, laundry, dishwasher and our fridge was in our family room. Someone with a larger crew would have finished faster, but the quality of the work is outstanding. We liked the work so much, we hired Kevin to come back and install a glass tile backsplash in our kitchen. Kevin even helped repair a leaking valve in the laundry and the soggy wall it caused as well as install a new vanity and toilet in our bath. I'd give him my highest recommendation."

"Thomas was very quick to provide a quote and begin work. He worked over the recent 4th of July weekend. He demolished an existing tiled shower wall and pan that failed after only two years in service. He showed me each step of the way how the contractor that installed the prior shower didn’t do it correctly. He was finished on time and at a very reasonable price. My advice is don’t hire carpenters to do tile work. Hire Thomas he will do it correctly!"

"Mario upgraded our bathroom, repaired a damaged wall and installed a bannister. Mario was very hard working, had really good attention to detail, he was very communicative and respectful of our design ideas and our house during the construction process. He is very skilled at what he does and we will definitely hire him again for other projects."

"Jean did great job explaining what we needed to repair and we knew it is only a temporary fix of our bathroom tile. It buys us time until we can do a full remodel we are not ready for. They completed the project in two days allowing us to get back to using the shower in quick time. Would hire again. Reasonable price all things considered these days"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

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.
