"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.

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts
You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat—it’s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops.
Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
Both porcelain and ceramic have pros and cons. Porcelain tile is generally more durable than ceramic because it is denser and harder. This makes it less likely to chip, but the hardness can make it slightly brittle. As a result, porcelain tiles are more likely to crack if you drop a heavy object. Ceramic is also generally more affordable than porcelain.
Yes, it’s always a good idea to keep a box or two of spare tiles after a home renovation project. Tiles can crack from improper installation, heavy foot traffic, and impact from drops. Having some extra tile on hand can make replacement fast, easy, and affordable. Plus, some manufacturers might discontinue particular colors or styles, and slight variations in tile colors between batches could mean mismatched tiles even if your product isn’t discontinued. Having a few spare tiles in storage can help avoid these issues, as well.
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.
