"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."
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.
The cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost.
Tile ratings are as follows:
Grade 0: Walls only
Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors
Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
The number of shower niches you need (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you’re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.
Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.
