Punctual, very clean, meticulous and reasonably priced. “Precise” is a perfect name for them! Couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended."

"We had a small tile backsplash/trim project for our guest half-bath. More a decor feature than functional so we wanted it done professionally. We already purchased all the materials and only needed labor. Home Art Tile made it very easy. Connected via Angie, measurements were done remotely via text and photos. Got a quick and fair estimate. They scheduled us for later in the month but had a cancellation and was able to move our installation to the same week as the quote! The installer was very professional, prompt and clean. We reviewed the scope of work and he went right up work. We had glass-based tiles that required a fair amount of cutting. Hi noticed a few chipped and cracked tiles and asked if he could replace those if there was enough left over. He was able to do so. Nice craftsmanship. Very satisfied with the work."
"I’m absolutely thrilled with my new ceramic backsplash! The team was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with. Not only was their craftsmanship impeccable, but they also maintained a spotless workspace—vacuuming and mopping everything so my kitchen was pristine when they finished. I’ll definitely be hiring them again!"
"Victor did a great job for us, replacing the tile in the front section of our home. He helped us map out how the tile would be installed, asking all the right questions, and then performed the work beautifully while we were out of town. He also handled the removal of a powder room vanity and the installation of a new one (plumbing done by a plumber).. He was a pleasure to deal with, and extremely neat. Weâ d definitely use him again and we recommend him to all seeking first class tile work."

I would highly recommend them and we are very happy with the work they did."

"Mike did an EXCELLENT job replacing our shower floor with new tiles, and replacing the grout of the walls. Also, installed new toilets in all our bathrooms.
He is very easy to work with, very responsible and tidy person.
Thanks Mike for the job well done!"
"I needed a ceramic tile in my kitchen replaced and the only spare I had was under the refrigerator. Val and his brother took their time not to break the spare tile and replaced it giving my kitchen a clean look without a cracked tile in the middle of the floor. Nice work
Three others I contacted said they would probably break the tile."
Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.
Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn’t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles.
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
No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
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.
