"Brian remodeled both of our bathrooms within a couple months of each other. He was a pleasure to work with! Not only was he super responsive, he was upfront about costs and timing, and provided honest feedback & guidance. He gave us options that stayed within our budget, but also recommendations that made sense. It was awesome to work with a contractor that you fully trusted had your best interest at heart. I highly recommend his services and canâ t wait to do business with him in the future!"

I have been working in the tile trade for 6 years with hands-on experience completing full tile installations from start to finish. My background includes building and setting full showers with traditional mud bed pans, as well as installing Schluter systems. I have a strong eye for detail at every stage of the process.\n\nI am based in Faribault, Minnesota, and am available to travel within a 75-mile radius for projects. Im familiar working in both occupied homes and renovation environments and take care to maintain clean, organized job sites.\n\nI focus on durability, proper installation methods, and clean, professional results that stand the test of time.

Ceramic Tile 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.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you’ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.

The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.
