"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!"
"Connect dryer vent through a tile floor and install a aluminum post in bath that needed support in ceiling and drilled through tile wall. Joe did an excellent job that other contractors did not want to tackle. 5 stars to Joe"
"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."
Yes, it’s possible to cut tile without a wet saw; instead, you can use an angle grinder, a glass cutter, a snap cutter, tile nippers, or a rotary tool with a tile-cutting blade. A manual tile cutter or snap cutter works well for the larger tiles that wet saws are typically used for, while smaller projects might just require nippers or a glass cutting wheel. If you’re working with large quantities of tile, however, power tools are best.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.
Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
The underlayment determines a ceramic tile’s sturdiness, and a cement board or backer board works best. Be sure to tape the joints when using these materials, and consider laying it on top of a layer of thin-set for more stability.
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.
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.
