"Flavius was extremely professional and highly efficient. He had better ideas on how to replace the pool tiles than I had. Next season he most likely will redo our bathroom."
"Great experience! The team was professional, punctual, and the tile work came out beautifully. Attention to detail was top-notch, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality tile installation!"
"Calabe and team were great to work with. I had the tile already on site and they were able to slot me in quickly. He had great ideas and did a great job. Just over a week from start to finish. Removed a tub and old tile. Created a custom walk in shower. Replaced the flooring in the remainder of the room and replaced the vanity and toilet with new updated ones. His team and the plumber he brought in were great."
"Ornel and Al did a great job and I am very pleased with the outcome. The tile was placed too closely to the electrical outlets and someone had to use a dremel to file the tile so the outlets could be installed, which was a pain. Ornel installed a 3 mural tile over my stove and took great care with the spacing and placement of that. I would hire them again!"
"Edmar was an amazing find!! He built two retaining walls for me and did a stone finish on an existing over the pool concrete wall. Very good price for excellent workmanship!! Very conscientious worker and I ve recommended him to my friends."
"This was a basement insulation and door hanging project. Jim showed up on timeâ for both the estimate and the actual work. He was courteous and helpful; and when the project changed slightly, he was able to adjust to meet the unanticipated differences. The work was done well, he cleaned up, and made sure we were happy with the completed job. Prices were affordable; we would hire again and have a spring project in mind."
"They were efficient and very polite. I am happy with my new floors and plan on hiring them for a few other projects. They are also very dog friendly which made things easier on me. I would highly recommend their services."
"We needed a wall removed cleanly in our basement. Testa home improvements did an amazing job. The work was high quality, and they were true professionals. We will be hiring them again for our next project. Highly recommend."
"Installed pre-finished hardwood in 2 bedrooms. Very happy with the installation and the crew that installed. 2 minor issues being resolved this week. The only reason I didn’t give them a 5 is they delayed my install 2 weeks at the last minute due to lack of inventory. Don’t understand how the didn’t know level of inventory when the set the date."
When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.
On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.
Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.
There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.
