"I couldn't be happier with the tile work completed by Diego at my home. He was very professional and showed up each day exactly when he said he would. When he took apart our existing shower floor, everything was rotted, moldy and in pretty bad shape. He cleaned everything out and built a new shower floor from scratch. The original shower pan was not installed correctly and water was able to penetrate the underlying wood. We were lucky we didn't have a leak to the floor below. Diego competently rebuilt the shower properly, rebuilt the saddle under the shower doors with new pieces of marble and tile I had lying around in my basement, installed new tile on the floor and lower shower wall and reinstalled the original shower doors. He even carried the glass shower doors down the stairs and out to the front yard so I could thoroughly clean off the hard water stains and mildew. We love that the shower now looks like one you'd find in a spa--so clean--and the water drains perfectly which will prevent a lot of issues in the future. Diego also replaced a small area of my kitchen backsplash that had been bothering me for years. It was originally installed improperly, so the tiles didn't line up correctly. I chose a beautiful glass tile in a herringbone pattern that happened to be very difficult to install. Diego did an amazing job and proved that he is a true artisan! He even took the time to cut small little triangles from the tiles so the spaces were not too large. The end result is perfect and I love it! I would 100% use Elite Tile for my next tile project and will recommend to my friends."

"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."

"We are thrilled with our remodeled bathroom! It’s a small room but the team came in and transformed the space into something beautiful. They handled all aspects from tile removal and breakdown through installing new shower, fixtures, tile and paint. They were punctual, professional and thorough. Great job - we will work with them again when we start our next project."

"This is the first time that I have used Quality Tile Co., and I couldn’t be more satisfied. I received three quotes for my project, and although Quality Tile was not the lowest, I had confidence that Steve would be the best fit. The estimate was detailed and thorough, communication was amazing, all calls were returned promptly, and there was no pressure. It is worth mentioning that of the three bidders, only Quality Tile had a well-maintained, nicely labeled work van in excellent condition, which stood out in contrast to the other bidders, giving me a good sense of trust to hire Quality Tile. I was not disappointed. The installation went down on time and on schedule, the workmanship was excellent, and I am exceptionally pleased with the final results."

"I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to recommend Tom to anyone looking to have tile work done in their home. Tom installed a ceramic backsplash in my kitchen and I'm so pleased with the job. Tom is a true professional with excellent work ethics. He arrived at my house on time, at 8:00, and didn't leave until the job was complete. The finished backsplash looks fantastic and its exactly as the picture I showed him. I couldn't be happier with Tom's work. I would not hesitate to use him again. Thanks again Tom!"

"The floors look great!! These guys are awesome, and very good at what they do! They were able to install new flooring in my home, 4 rooms and a foyer, in 2 days and I couldn’t be happier. I already have them scheduled to install all new baseboard moulding throughout the downstairs, and they will be installing all of my new cabinets going into my kitchen. I highly recommend them!!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

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.
