"Caldera’s Tile is fantastic! They just installed five rooms of tile at my home and did a beautiful job. They definitely know what they are doing. We choose larger tile (24x48) and had a couple other contractors tell us the tile was too large for our area. Juan and his crew had experience with this size tile and knew how to handle it with no problems. Juan understood our vision and was brainstorming with my wife when he came over to quote the job. It was evident he knew what he was talking about and had the experience we were looking for. That sold us on Caldera’s. His price was competitive and he was able to schedule us within a week. Juan was great about communicating too. He always notified us if he would be late or who from his crew was coming to work. Caldera’s worked the job everyday and it was evident we were not competing with any of his other jobs. I highly recommend Caldera’s for tile work."

"Exceptional workmanship, beautiful end results. Carmelo, his son, daughter and other workers were polite, professional, accommodating. I never imagined it would turn out so beautifully; so much more than expected. I plan on hiring them again to complete two bedrooms and hallway. I highly recommend Ortega's Tile, they should get higher than a 5 score! Thank you!!"

"Kramer Moore of Do-Moore Handyman Services is one of the hardest working young men I've had the pleasure to meet. In addition to doing an excellent job at replacing my carpet with tile, he was extremely helpful in making sure that moving of furniture and goods was done carefully. He kept me informed at every step of the process. He's personable and efficient."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The underlayment determines a ceramic tile’s sturdiness, and a cement board or backer board works best. Be sure to tape the joints when using these materials, and consider laying it on top of a layer of thin-set for more stability.

Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.

Silicone caulk shouldn’t be used in place of grout because each material serves its own purpose. Thanks to its flexibility, silicone caulk is good for sealing around the perimeter of tiled floors, where movement and expansion might occur. However, grout is more durable, making it a better option for the joints in between tiles, which need to withstand constant weight and foot traffic.

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.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
