"We wanted to install tile on our master bath ceiling to prepare for a steam shower. Juan demonstrated that he knew that the project would require extra water proofing and offered advise to accomplish this in our particular situation. This was truly appreciated. He followed through, did an excellent job, thoroughly picked up and cleaned afterwards. Furthermore, he was always very nice and polite. I really appreciated Juan and would definitely recommend him. -Deanna"

"Edgar Diaz provided great service and quality for our backsplash and hearth tile installation projects. I so appreciated his attention to detail and advice on the tile patterns. Edgar's commitment to excellence really shows. It was difficult finding a contractor to take our small projects on, but Edgar was on board. It took a while to get on his calendar, but the outcome was worth the wait."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

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.

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.
