"Ken has been great from the very beginning. When he says he's going to be at your house at 7:30 in the morning to do an estimate, he is there at 7:30. Allowing Ken to be in my apartment while at work for the day is stress-free. He has all the equipment he needs. He takes precautions to make sure there is very little mess. At the end of the day, he cleans up and keeps everything contained. I cannot be happier how my dining room and kitchen look. What an amazing transformation. People have come to see the work we had done and are amazed at how great it looks. How perfectly straight the tiles are and how everything looks."
"Marlon and Leo did a flawless job on the tile work for my bathroom renovation. Marlon initially told me the job would take 5 days but he managed to finish the job in 3 and a half days ahead of schedule. The price was also very reasonable. Cleaned everything up, brought all of the debris outside and finished ahead of schedule. Marlon did all of the most/all of the tile work and Leo did the plumbing and installed the frameless glass shower door. Both of these guys were extremely hard working from start to finish. Five stars is not a high enough recommendation for this company. I want to give them 10 stars! I will not hesitate to use them again for any future tile work needed. Thanks guys!!"
"Everything went really great. Tom was very responsive to my calls and kept me informed of his schedule as we neared the original estimated date. I happened to work from home on the days Tom was here and when I would go in to see how things were progressing, Tom was always laser focused and I could tell he was working hard. He definitely was not one to take his time and drag out the project to milk as much money as he can out of you. We threw a curve ball by adding a design we had not anticipated. Tom was honest that it could take longer than originally planned and we knew that upfront b/c he explained when we met him for the original estimate that if we were to change the design by adding angled cuts or something, that it would take longer. We were okay with that b/c we wanted it done right and we did not want to settle for something we did not love and would have to stare at it every day for the rest of our lives. The final product was beautiful. My wife was super happy, which in turn makes me happy. I would certainly recommend Tom to anyone that is looking for a great tile contractor and one that is also responsive. if we ever need tile work in the future, Tom will be the first person I reach out to.

"Here's a polished version of your review for the tile installer: --- I hired Custom Tile Work to install my backsplash, based on a recommendation from the tile store where I made my purchase. Vince did an outstanding job. He was meticulous with every cut, cleaned up each day, and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Custom Tile Work for any tile installation needs."
"Victor is personable, meticulous and quick and yet doesn t take shortcuts. He even advised against tiling certain area which is less work and contract for him as he is well intentioned. I am glad I got to know him and I recommend him without reservations. He is my go-to person for any future tiling."
"The project was to redo the entry,kitchen, and laundry room ceramic tile which included removing the existing and installing new porcelain 24x24 tile. The project was thought out and coordinated very well. by Armando. The installers did a great job and cleaned their workspace on a daily basis. I would highly recommend them and we are very happy with the work they did."
"Val and his brother Sonny did and excellent job repairing the loose tiles and replacing the rotted drywall from our bathtub/shower to make it look as good as new. Service and craftsmanship above average, and they were even able to piece together a curved broken tile outside of the shower back to it's original form. I highly recommend Val and Established General Contractor for ceramic tiling work as well as your other home improvement needs."
The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.
Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
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 cost to install porcelain tile is about $1,930 on average. Porcelain tile prices range from $880 to $3,000 or more. The average cost tends to be higher than ceramic tile because porcelain tile is very durable. Porcelain tile rating also factors into the material cost.
Tile ratings are as follows:
Grade 0: Walls only
Grade 1: Walls and light traffic floors
Grade 2: Rooms with light traffic, but not kitchens or hallways
Grade 3: Kitchens, hallways, and entryways
Grade 4: Any area, interior or exterior
Grade 5: Highest durability good for any area, interior or exterior
When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.
