Q: Do you install shower doors before or after tile?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to install a shower door after the bathroom tile is in place to ensure you have accurate measurements. If you try installing a shower door first, the tile might be too thick to install afterward, or the tile will be too thin and create a gap between the shower doors that allows water to leak. With the tile in place first, you&rsquo;ll know the exact shower door size that you need.</p></div>

Q: What do you put under a tile floor?

• <div><p>To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you&rsquo;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&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Why should tiles be installed or repaired professionally?

• <div><p>Professional installation ensures a uniform, durable surface, and proper sealing, and guarantees workmanship quality, preventing future issues linked to water damage or instability.</p></div>

Q: How much does tile floor installation cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-installation-cost-guide.htm">Tile floor installation costs</a> about <b>$1,900</b> on average. The low end of the price range is about <b>$400 up to about $6,000</b> or more on the high end. Several cost factors include the size of the area, the shape of the floor, the complexity of the pattern, the type of tile chosen, and labor rates in your area. Additional cost factors include the amount of preparation needed and any additional materials like subfloor or backer board.</p></div>

I highly recommend Nick! I was just looking to get my floor done and ended up upgrading my bathrooms and kitchen because the quality of finished product all the way down to the customer service was everything I wanted. Thank you so much! If I had anymore space to tile I would call them back!
