"Sam was a great communicator through the whole project. The bathroom tile we had on our walls were really bad. Sam’s tile job was excellent. Very happy with the end result!"
"Demayo tile was incredible. I prior had a very bad experience with another contractor and I needed someone reliable to fix our bathroom. Mike and his team were extremely professional, responsive and did an excellent job. They went above and beyond to redo our plumbing and helped us obtain the correct products needed for our project. The tile looks incredible. They were also very clean and removed all tile, dust etc. We are beyond thrilled to have found Demayo tile and look forward to using them in the future if needed for additional projects. We highly recommend for your home!!"
"I found Joe online and couldnâ t be happier. He was very responsive and gave us a set of options to address our issueâ which was that our discontinued ceramic tile in our kitchen was coming loose. He did a repair job to give us more time to find a new tile option. He was quick and neat with his work. And we will absolutely bring him back in for the full tile job when we are ready to do that."

"EXCELLENT WORK - HONEST GUY - FIVE STARS I really did not want to tear out our original 1950's bathroom tile. When Jon from Franchetti Marble and Tile looked at it neither did he. He appreciated the retro look and did not want to destroy it. He recommended removing the old grout in the shower, which was the worst area, and regrouting it. He saved me about $7,500.00! Despite the fact that he could have made more money on the job, he was honest with me. The new grout gives it a newer, cleaner look. I am very happy! Jon is courteous, responsible, respectful of my home and cleans up. It's hard to find this type of work ethic these days. Thanks, Jon. Nina Scarpa Merchantville, NJ"
"It went well, once Matt was finally able to come and do the work. He has a good sense of design and how to do tile layouts that look right. He talked me into laying out the 12 x 24" tiles in a stacked bond pattern when I had been thinking of a running bond pattern. It looked good, plus was a more efficient use of the tile."
The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.
If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
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.
The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot,which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot,which is about the same as porcelain.
Ceramic tile adheres best with premixed adhesive or mortar. If you’re installing the tile in an area with moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen, opt for waterproof adhesive, and if you choose mortar, make sure it’s thick because that is the easiest to work with and ensures the tiles will sit flat.
