"Highly recommend Brandon with Wingler’s Handyman Services for any home improvement needs. When our subfloor started showing signs it needed replacing, we reached out for an estimate. His pricing was very reasonable and he got us scheduled quickly—which matters with flooring issues. From the moment he walked in, I felt confident we were in good hands. He’s knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made the whole process feel manageable, even with an older house that loves surprises. And of course, we had a few. 😅 Plumbing leaks, extra bracing needed… Brandon handled it all without missing a beat. What stood out most was his attention to detail. He took his time and made sure everything was done right, not just “good enough.” The finished floors turned out better than I imagined. We’re beyond happy and already have a list of future projects for him."

"Sergii was very professional, flexible, communicated well, and was able to pull off my vision for a black marble fireplace without cracking a single piece of tile. He was also able to see and fix problems from previous renovated areas of the project so that installation would be safe and last. He was very upfront about cost and let me know about the price of materials before starting his work. And he kept his work area very CLEAN!! I was overall very impressed with his expertise, Iâ d recommend him to anyone."

"Christian did an excellent job with the shower and floor tile installation. One aspect I appreciated about Christian was his attention to cleanliness and protecting my property. He made sure to clean up after completing the job and took measures to safeguard my floors by using plastic and paper on the stairs and hallway. (The job was located upstairs) Not a lot of contractors wouldâ ve done that. Actually, I had another contractor come in for another part of the renovation and he complimented Christian for doing that. I would definitely use Christian again. I have already thought about my second project for Christian to handle."

"Hugo has done many jobs for us over the years. The bathroom remodel he did is great! His tile work is beautiful and I typically allow him to select most of the items used in a remodel because he is talented at knowing what the finished product will look like when he is planning. His work is excellent and he is an artist in his design for remodeling. He also remodeled my kitchen several years ago and we are still enjoying the fabulous work he did. He made new cabinets to fit in where there were no cabinets and you can't tell which are original and which he added. Excellent work!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.

Ceramic tile adheres best with premixed adhesive or mortar. If you’re installing the tile in an area with moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen, opt for waterproof adhesive, and if you choose mortar, make sure it’s thick because that is the easiest to work with and ensures the tiles will sit flat.

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 easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface.
