Q: Can you lay tile and grout the same day?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don&rsquo;t wait.</p></div>

Q: Can I tile over existing shower tiles?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.</p></div>

Q: Should tile touch the tub?

• <div><p>Tile shouldn&rsquo;t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it&rsquo;s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-shower-tile-really-waterproof.htm">tile shower waterproofing</a>.</p></div>

Q: What is the most durable tile for a shower floor?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a durable tile for a shower floor, consider porcelain, stone, or vinyl tiles. Each of these options, when installed correctly, will stand up well to everything from water and moisture to the impact from a dropped bottle of body wash. These materials are also easy to clean and maintain, making them popular options for shower floors. </p></div>

Q: What are the four basic tools used in tile installation?

• <div><p>There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.</p></div>

"Devon was amazing! Our home looks brand new! Devon was professional and friendly. Devin came out to give us an estimate when most contractors were too busy to deal with us or were too far away. He came out quickly to give us an estimate and started the project right on time. His price was competitive and the quality of work is exceptional. With all the rain we've had my skylights don't leak! He's coming back to install a new door to the deck soon. He even cleaned up so well that you can't even tell he was here. I highly recommend Devon for all your remodel needs."
