"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."

"Quick response to my request, gave me a bid and completed the work in less than a week. Identified the leak, took out grout, replaced and sealed walk in shower. Also cut and installed tile as baseboard outside shower on request. Very professional work, kept all areas clean during and after job. I would use them again with any tile needs."

"We hired Tile & Grain after reading the excellent reviews they earned from past clients. The worked consisted of removing existing backsplash tile, replacing the drywall behind it, then installing new ceramic backsplash tile in our kitchen. The tile work is spectacular! The attention to detail and workmanship is obvious and the new look is spectacular! Gustavo and the crew at Tile & Grain are true craftsman and they take great pride in their work. I wouldnâ t hesitate to use them again - no question!"

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

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.

Terracotta tile is a broad term for clay tile that’s been fired in a kiln, and Saltillo tile is a specific type of terracotta tile produced in Saltillo, Mexico. In addition to Saltillo, terracotta tile comes in a range of other shades and styles. You’ll often find it used in buildings throughout Mexico, southern Europe, and the western United States.
