"Dmitri and the entire crew were incredible! The quote was more than fair, he was great about keeping in communication, on time, and so consultative to ensure they job they did resulted in a beautiful floor, which included a surprise replacement of some soft sub flooring - thank goodness for their quest for perfection! Even that, when they could have had the opportunity to hit me with a big bill for something that absolutely needed to get done, his quote was so fair for all the extra work and materials that were required. (I would have expected to pay more). They have an eye for design! When they opened the boxes of travertine, they noticed a pinkish tone to many of the tiles (natural to that stone) that didn't blend well with the gold and beige tones of the rest of my kitchen, stopped what they were doing, and questioned it. I ordered a new shipment of tile that worked - thank goodness again they halted the progress to ensure it was exactly what I wanted. They were so kind about the delay (and honestly, likely a waste of their time that day), and patient as we waited for the new tile to arrive. Once it arrived, they quickly fit me back into their busy schedules and got the job done. Again, they consulted, and intentionally delayed the hook-up of the thermostat for the heated floor to give the tile time to cure, noting if I get impatient and turn it on, it might crack the tile! So grateful again that they delayed that, and made a special trip back to simply wire up the thermostat to protect my tile. They were always left the job tidy, and did a great job of sealing off the construction area during the demo phase. My new floor is absolutely perfect and even with the wood floor next to it. They are such nice people, fair, and easy to work with. I have already recommended Cutting Edge Remodeling to others, and will hire them again whenever I need them. I seriously can't say enough good about them!"
"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."
"Ross is very professional. He kept me up to date with the floor project at all times. He answered emails/ texts promptly. If I had problems, he fixed them. Any trouble spots, he kept me informed with cost and time. The gist was very reasonable. I would have him do any home improvement jobs!!"

The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost.

Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
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.
Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.
The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.
