Along with the Monk's Kitchen & Bath Design Studio, we are a full-service home improvement provider. Monk's will help you plan, design, and purchase everything you need for a remodel. Then our expert craftsmen will install everything and our painters will come and complete the job.

"We recently used Monk’s for a guest bathroom gut and re-do. We decided to go with them, as our neighbors used them for a master bathroom and were quite happy. We called them and they were immediately responsive, making an appointment to come over for an initial walk-through. From there they provided an extremely thorough and detailed estimate. Based on that, along with our neighbor’s review, we decided to use them. Well, we could not have been happier. Their communication was excellent and clear. Everything was documented. The amount of information provided to us was incredible. There was nothing left to the imagination. It was all extremely comprehensive and transparent. Any questions we had were answered immediately and clarified. There was also no problem if we wanted to buy some of the materials/fixtures ourselves (which we did). Zero pressure to buy through them, although anything bought through them they would guarantee. They were extremely prompt, always arriving exactly when they said they would. They were courteous and kind. No question of ours was too trivial, too dumb, too naïve. Everything was treated with respect. Issues identified along the way were IMMEDIATELY corrected without question. This was truly a partnership, and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy. We were consulted throughout the project for anything they were unsure of or for anything needing further discussion. We left them alone in our house without reservation and felt at ease in doing so. They covered floors and cleaned up every night after themselves. The project manager, Chris, was our go-to guy throughout the project. He approached our questions and concerns calmly and ensured our issues were immediately resolved. He knows his stuff and shared his knowledge freely. He took an active approach and checked in frequently with us. Our crew was headed up by a gentleman named Ivan, who could not have been more respectful, helpful and willing. He and his team’s work was meticulous and any issues that arose (yes, issues will always come up in large projects, so don’t freak out!) were dealt with and corrected immediately with no questions asked. We felt all the way through the process that they had a vested interest in the success of our new bathroom! All in all we could not be happier with our beautiful new bathroom and we look forward to using Monk’s in the future."

"Aurelio was pretty quick to respond and based on the reviews I read the common sentiment was that it is expensive but he does a great job. Since I was in a rush to do the project before moving in and he seemed trustworthy I hired him. As far as the meeting the promised timeline they definitely delivered. However, they relied on my inexperience and first lied to me, then did a lousy job on top of that. The job was to install hardwood floors on the second floor and to match it to the first floor that already had hardwood floors. On the first day of the job he called me and told me that he has "good news" supposedly he was sent wrong flooring material, but because the supplier made a mistake even though it is better (wider than what I already have) he is not charging us more. He gave me 5 minutes to decide on what I want to do. Given I was at the time 1.5 hours away after some thinking I agreed. But the trick was that he told me on the phone that instead of 2 1/4 they sent 3 1/4, however my floors were actually 4 inch wide, so in essence it was actually a worse choice, when I actually saw what 2 1/4 looks like at my friends place I was convinced that he made a mistake, sure enough the next day when I visited the house he still innocently pretended that mine were narrower and faked a super convincing surprised face when he realized that already installed floors are wider. I was so naive that I actually believed him, however you actually have to walk through first floor to go to the second floor and what kind of a professional could even for a moment not realize that they made a mistake, one look is enough, so he lied to me. I later realized that this was probably a much cheaper option or he had it already from a previous job, these are speculations of course but I am sure he lied, or honestly they are all just bunch of amateurs because even I could not make that mistake. To be entirely honest he gave me a $500 discount, I didn't ask or negotiate he just offered it to me, I guess he was afraid that I would make them redo it since they were caught. In any case I agreed but the dishonestly of it still stinks .... I am mad at myself for being so naive ... Secondly, they installed marble in my bathrooms, and when I pointed out some scratches I was called a "perfectionist", and honestly I don't know why I should not have high expectations given the price they asked and the fact that I didn't even negotiate. He then told me that he will send someone to fix it can be sanded off, and now I regret agreeing to that, you would think they know what they are doing, but obviously not, I can see the sanded part very vividly now, if anything they just made it much worse.... To top this all of, a few weeks later my cat throws up on the hardwood floors and it stains. When I talked to him he said that it is possible that the poly was not good, they will come and check and if I want a better quality poly if I pay a bit extra they can do it. They came sanded a bit that part applied a new poly to test, and I can still see the difference between the old and the new, the same Satin looks so much worse on a poor quality part ... they promised to come and fix it, although gave me bunch of stories how they do things for people and then if they scratch something people complain. The whole thing was so stressful and I was so hurt and disappointed that they would use crappy staff just to save $100 in a project that cost me 13K that I never contacted them back, I never wanted to see them again ... I figured that they will screw something up if they come to fix it and then represent it as them doing me a favor and me still complaining ... I am not even talking about them matching the stain color ... bottom line the easiest directive of matching 2 floors somehow didn't go that well and now I just have to be very careful with the cat and deal with crappy floors. Again to represent everything fairly I think they did a decent job laying the floors, it is just they were cheap and greedy ... honestly even though they should have used the best material if they told me I need to pay $100 extra to use the best poly I would, and he knew that I would, I never questioned any expense they had to do for the tiles, so he was very well aware that I will not spare expense on it to get the best results, but alas ... If you ever hire them I would encourage you to ask what they are using, check all the material they are buying and do not trust them to have your best interests in mind. Hope this will help someone to make the right choice!"

Ceramic tile services FAQs

The average cost of installing tile is around $2,000, ranging between $400 and $6,500, depending on the type of tile, square footage of tile, and whether or not your tiling contractor performs site preparation, like removing old tile. On average, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 per square foot, largely depending on the type and quality of the tiles you choose. For example, ceramic and travertine tile cost about $1 per square foot, but luxury tile options like marble cost up to $350 per square foot, not including labor.

Yes, tiling a bathroom is a great way to boost the value of your home. Tile is a highly durable and attractive building material, and savvy buyers will know they’re getting a low-maintenance flooring or wall covering that can last for 75 years or more. Keep in mind that the return on investment from tiling your bathroom will likely be higher if a professional tile installer does the work. Tiling is a complicated job, and mistakes will be very evident and detract from the appearance and value of the finished work.

On average, you can expect the tiling in your bathroom to take around 12 hours, usually spread over at least two to three days. The process can take longer if your tile installer needs to remove old tile first. Tiling a floor takes around six hours, and tiling the shower area often takes six to 10 hours. Some factors that affect the length of the project include the type of tile, the layout of your bathroom, and any prep work that your installer needs to do beforehand. It’s best to have an alternate bathroom available during the process.

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.

To find a local tile installer, your first step is to connect with professionals in your area and interview them. Ask the following questions to get a sense of their experience and ability:

  • How many years have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of references I can contact?

  • What materials—tile, thinset, and mortar—will you use?

  • Does your pricing include materials and labor?

  • How long will my bathroom or kitchen be out of commission while you work?

Then, compare prices to find the best value for your investment.
