"Hughes Home Improvements was the only company that reached out from Home Advisors. Additionally, the only company that called me back after putting out several calls to other local painters that were not on HA. They were also able to meet my timeline to get the project done on time. Great communication, great service, great work. Highly recommend."

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.

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.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.
