"Fritz Construction completely gutted and repaired my home. Floors, ceilings, all electrical, all light fixtures, removal of gas heater...too much to list. He took a flood disaster and created a beautiful home from the rubble. I am forever grateful, and he will be a friend for life. He's fair, reasonable, patient, and more importantly, knowledgeable in all fields of home building."

"Max and his sister did a wonderful job painting 3 of our bedrooms in getting our house ready to sell. At first, it was only going to be one room but ended up being 3 bedrooms. He was very reasonable in his price. He even did a couple of odd jobs for me after he was done painting. If you would like to see his job in painting the 3 bedrooms, the house is listed on Realtor.com at 2100 S. Denney Street, Ozark, Mo."

"Excellent experience from start to finish. They installed a dog door, a bathroom exhaust fan, and a couple ceiling fans, and everything was completed professionally and with great attention to detail. They showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and made sure everything worked perfectly before leaving. The pricing was fair, communication was excellent, and the quality of the workmanship exceeded my expectations. I would definitely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable home improvement services"

Ceramic Tile FAQs, answered by experts

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.

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

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.

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.

Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.
