"Daniel expertly replaced the old, worn-out tile in our mudroom and bathroom, as well as the tile on our fireplace hearth. From start to finish, his professionalism and skill were truly impressive. The quality of his workmanship is exceptional – the new tile looks fantastic, and the installation is flawless. One of the things we appreciated most about Daniel was how incredibly neat he worked. He took significant measures to minimize dust and kept the work areas as clean as possible throughout the entire process. This was a huge relief and made the renovation experience much less disruptive. Furthermore, Daniel was a model of reliability. He consistently arrived when he said he would and was always on time. He worked non-stop with impressive efficiency and actually finished ahead of schedule, which was a pleasant surprise. Beyond his excellent work ethic and skill, we also found Carolina Construction and Tile's prices to be fair and reasonable for the high quality of service we received. Overall, we are absolutely thrilled with the work done by Daniel and Carolina Construction and Tile. Daniel is a true craftsman who takes pride in his work, and it shows. We will definitely be using him again for future projects during our ongoing home restoration and wholeheartedly recommend Carolina Construction and Tile and Daniel to anyone looking for top-notch tile work."

"Very well. I was skeptical at first but Mr Miller put me at ease by sending his information and was very transparent. He said he would be at the location at a specific time, and was. Mr. Miller did a great job staining and keeping me informed of his progress through sending pictures and calling me. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will be using him again for my future projects."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

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.

If you hire a professional to install a new floor, you can expect to pay between $50 and $75 per hour for labor. It takes two days on average to install a new floor as part of a bathroom remodeling project, but your timeline depends on your bathroom’s size and layout.

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
