"We had an amazing experience with Elite Tile. Michael was responsive during the entire quoting and planning process. Jayson, the installer is one of the nicest people we've met during our house renovation process. He was very professional and detailed with his work. We had old 70s flooring removed, toilets replaced, a vanity replaced, and tile installed -- all through Jayson. We can't recommend Elite Tile enough!"

Customers say: True professional

"David was the consummate professional. I had three different tile guys give me quotes. David was the only one, while here for the estimate, who took my tile out of the box and started discussing how the project needed to be done. He and his partner were full of ideas and incredibly helpful. This was all before i told him he had the job. Needless to say, he did a fantastic job. The tile has only been in a week and we’re getting so many compliments. Even our plumber came in and said it was the most beautiful tile he’d ever seen. Just saying, you can’t go wrong with David. Hope to post pictures when the lights go in. Highly recommend. Will use him again."

"This is the second time I have hired Domenico with Dolce Casa to install some flooring. He installed tile and backsplash in my kitchen and then wood flooring throughout the house. Domenico is very professional and friendly. His work is very diligent and the outcome is fantastic. All the rooms that he has worked on look incredible. I absolutely plan to hire Domenico for any future projects. All around great experience working with him."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

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.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

Your tiles will have a significant visual impact on your bathroom, so you’ll want to make a thoughtful decision. Once you land on the tile material that suits your needs and budget, you can consider the color schemes you want. Consider whether you want something modern, classic, or eye-catching.

The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
