"Chris did an amazing job with our townhouse! We are very satisfied with how the floors, tile back splash and oak stairs turned out. He was very efficient, professional. Will definitely recommend Bella Bella Flooring to all our friends. Thank you!"
"I was very impressed with Elite Contracting’s quality of work. Mike Motto did exactly what he said he’d do and everything was done on time and in a very professional manner. His painters, Adam and Nate were very neat, friendly and courteous. They left my house clean and as orderly as possible. I would highly recommend this company. There not cheat, but I believe you get what you pay for and you definitely do with this company. I also hired him to install my new bamboo flooring."

"We hired another tile person through Angi's List to perform the installation of our backsplash. Unfortunately, on the first day he became ill and ended up in the hospital. Our kitchen was a mess and shut down for the job. We quickly went on Angi's List and found Junior Saravia Ceramic Tile to do the job. Catherine took our information and promptly called us. She had Saravia Chavez (her father) on our doorstop within hours. Saravia was as polite a gentleman as you could find. He assessed the job and gave us a very fair price. He began work on the spot and stayed until 9:30 pm to get all the tile laid. This was on a Saturday. Saravia came back Monday and grouted the job. His work is exceptional and our backsplash looks terrific. This is a business you can count on. The best thing is that Saravia did not mind me watching and asking questions so I could learn something about tile installation. He was a great teacher as the next day we had a tile issue in a bathroom that I was able to repair myself. I would not try a full job. I will leave that to the professional like Saravia when we need such services again. Note that he has been laying tile for over 21 years and knows his trade. I understand that he is from El Salvador some 21 plus years ago and speaks fair english. Catherine is fluent in english having been born here. Saravia is patient when speaking with him and the use of Google Translate helped. These are good people who go the extra mile to help you out. They got us out of a difficult situation. I will hire them again when the time comes."
"We could not be happier that we trusted Ray (MRM) with our project (35x20 covered, screened, back porch addition connected to the house). We received an estimate from the owner on day one and Ray worked with us as we adjusted plans and helped to keep our costs as low as possible. Before signing the contract, Ray covered everything in detail and answered all our questions. Ray introduced the project manager and stopped by often to check on the status. During significant periods (like pouring the concrete slab) Ray was on-site working right along with his team. And what a great team. Very professional and experienced. They really know what they are doing and finished the addition ahead of schedule. The team was punctual, communicated well, kept a clean job site, and the Crew Leader, Chuck K., called each night after the team left to check about any concerns. I must give a shout out for Phil Collins, a member of Ray s team. What a professional and all-around great guy. The completed addition is simply outstanding. The final few adjustments were completed by Chuck (obsessed with attention to detail) and my wife is very happy. When the County Inspector is impressed with the quality of construction, you know you chose the right company. If you want a stand-up guy who is not happy until you are happy, Ray Macleod of MRM construction will not disappoint you. We are extremely happy with the results and planning new projects. Guess who we will be using? MRM is the best."
"Very professional install and clean up performed on time and at a very reasonable price with fantastic guarantee. We would recommend to any family or friends."
Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You’ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you’re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project.
Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.
Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.
The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.
Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
