"We had Victor and his team do a complete master bathroom renovation. It was a full gut job. His team worked with me to create thoughtful design, moving a wall to bring in extra room to the bathroom, creating a separate water room and making the space feel like a retreat. I have included here before and after pictures. Tiles were done beautifully and the custom vanity is of superb quality. We will be working with his team to redo the other bathrooms in our home."

Small jobs welcome

"Brian was great! I had floor to ceiling old sliding closet doors in two bedrooms. Brian came to my house and measured my closets to make sure I got the right size. I ordered mirrored closet doors as replacements. Brian then came back to my house, took out the old doors and installed the new ones. What a job. Both sets of doors were large and unwieldly, but Brian and his assistant were careful - nothing in my house was damaged. Then they hauled everything away! Price was very affordable and I am happy with their work. I would hire them again."

"The grout in our stone front steps was crumbling. C & J responded quickly to our job request even though it was a relatively small project. They provided a prompt estimate and did a perfect job of the repair. The steps look new, and the area was left spotless. Throughout, Cesar was quick to communicate and clear with information. We couldn't be happier."

Customers say: True professional

"4 days after moving into our new townhome we dicovered a toilet flange had been leaking, for some time, and caused the subfloor below it to rot. We had to tear out some tiles, and install new subfloor. We had some tile left over from the original owner, and needed someone to install them. Talked to Jessie at Precision Tile, and fortunately he could come the next day. He did a great job of quickly installing backer board, thinset, Tile and grout at a fair price. Tile turned out great, and we were able to reset the toilet. Unfortunately the grout wasn't a perfect match with the old grout, but that was corrected with a grout colorant product. Overall very satisfied."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

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.

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

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.
