"Lloyd and Brad did a wonderful job! They helped up with the design of the walk-in shower and the addition of a small linen closet in our master bathroom. The area was unfinished when we purchased the home recently, but now it looks amazing. We now have a beautiful walk-in shower with porcelain tile, glass accents, a marble bench, and a unique grab-bar. We are beyond thrilled with the final result. The bathroom they worked on is on the second floor with the only access being up a spiral staircase. They had to go up and down that staircase for all of their tile cutting, but did it with good humor:-) They work so well together that they are a pleasure to have in the home. They even helped my husband move a piece of furniture from the first floor to the second floor! I highly recommend this company for any tile work of bathroom/kitchen remodeling. Their work is high-quality; their prices are very reasonable, and they communicate well with customers. I will definitely call them again if I need any type of tile work."

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
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.
The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic.
For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.
When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.
