"Excellent work. Phillip's team did a ceramic tile surround, wall repair, tile to carpet transition, and crown moulding. Everything beautifully completed in an incredibly efficient manner. I highly recommend PROFI."
"After talking with Tanya about our tile restoration project, we didn't even get another estimate and were not disappointed. Tanya did an excellent job from start to finish, and I expect we will contact her in the future about other projects. And I have already recommended her for another tile project in St. Paul."
"They did a fantastic job laying my tile. They were very prompt, got the job done quickly and gave useful information to finish the project. I will definitely hire them again."
"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."
"Chris did a great job removing the existing tile and replacing it with new tile. The original tile job was uneven and Chris was able to level both the surround and the hearth. He did a fantastic job."
"I recently hired Star Bath Systems for a complete bathroom remodel, and I could not be more pleased! From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and committed to ensuring everything was done above and beyond what we asked. What really stood out was their expertise in ADA modifications. I needed the remodel to be fully accessible, and they exceeded my expectations. They installed a walk-in shower with grab bars, a comfort-height toilet, a lowered vanity, and everything needed to make my mother feel comfortable. The modifications were seamless and integrated perfectly with the overall design, so the bathroom feels both functional and stylish. The quality of the materials used was top-notch, and you can tell, they definitely do not cut corners. Every tile, fixture, and finish was carefully chosen and installed just right. I was also impressed by their attention to detail and the cleanliness of the worksite there was minimal disruption to my daily routine during the project. Customer service was another highlight, and this is the biggest one for me! They kept me updated throughout the process, and I always felt comfortable reaching out with questions or concerns. They were patient with my requests and truly listened to my vision, helping me make informed decisions along the way. Overall, my experience was fantastic. The bathroom is not only accessible but also a beautiful, functional space that perfectly suits my and my family needs. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, customer-focused bathroom remodeling."
"Footprints Floors did an excellent job installing my kitchen ceramic tile backsplash. Gary, the owner, arranged a time to look at my project, discuss what I would like done, made suggestions and answered all of my questions. His quote was very reasonable. He explained the process of the installation, how long the project would take, etc. He was in communication with me and gave me updates as the project moved forward. Gary is very personable, reliable and I got the sense that he truly enjoys meeting people and takes pride in providing excellent workmanship. I cant say enough good things about the installer. He was polite, precise and a hard worker. His attention to detail was impressive. He prepped the area and cleaned up the area when he was finished. His workmanship is outstanding. My new backsplash is stunning. I would not hesitate hiring Footprint Floors in the future."
"Other contractors hardly call back especially for small jobs, but Twin City Tiling called right away and came out to view and quote the work. The small job was quickly scheduled and is now done. Looks nice!"
Replacing tile flooring can take a few days for a pro, but larger rooms will need more time. It takes eight to 12 hours for a tiling pro to remove old grout and tiles across 100 square feet. Then, it will take about four hours to prep the subfloor for tiles and another eight to 10 hours for a pro to install new tiles. Your tiling project may take up to a week, depending on the size of the room.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
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.
Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.
The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
