"We can’t say enough about what an outstanding job Brandon did on our new tile shower and floor. Every detail is flawless and we would highly recommend him for any tile project."
"Wow, Pat and his crew are amazing! Had him tear out fiberglass insert and do a full tiles shower, walls and floor. A+. Very punctual, clean,detailed and straight forward. You would be crazy to use anyone else. He also laid tile down on the floor as well and gave me some free tiles he had from a previous job at no cost!"
"Kevin did a great job with the tile we chose. He paid attention to the little details that make a big difference, like pulling the baseboards and tiling up to the walls and then replacing with new baseboard trim. He installed the new vanity we had chosen and tiled under it, instead of around it as the original builder had done. When there was a gap between our cabinets and the floor he worked with us to select the right shade of trim pieces to make it look finished. Our front door needed a special piece made to overlay the tile which he also did. He even helped repair (replace) a leaky valve for the washing machine in the laundry. Bottom line is we could not have been happier with the job. The only caveat for other readers is that he works alone and you'll need to allow slightly longer for the job than others might quote. You won't regret it if you can budget the time."
"Joe did a great job tiling my shower and bathroom floor. He displayed experience and skill in his work, fair dealing and completed the job in a timely manner. I recommend his services and will look to use him again."
"Excellent! Great work ethic. During those services I discovered that he does floors as well. Ceramic tile and tongue and grooved both done perfectly. Great job! Your future is bright!"
"5 Star experience. Maykol was friendly, honest, and reliable. My bathroom remodel was exactly as I imagined it and the whole process was seamless!! Will definitely hire him again for my next project"
"This is the second time Iâ ve hired Pablo and his team. They installed 700+ sq ft of tile, installed baseboards and painted. They are very reliable, punctual and professional. The quality of work is second to none and the pricing is very reasonable. I will continue to hire this company for future projects...you will be very pleased!"
The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.
For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.
You can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.
