"Juan Caldera replaced the back-splash in our kitchen. His team took the old tile off without replacing the drywall. They installed our new ceramic tile and calked it. It only took two days. They were highly professional and did a perfect job. I will be hiring them back soon to install tiles on some outside steps to the home. Don't hesitate to use Juan Caldera. We have already recommended him to several tile stores in town."

"Joe Lavery of Lavery Home Improvements installed a new porcelain tile flooring for a bathroom, installed a new shower door in the second bathroom, installed two bathroom light fixtures for each bathroom, and some minor repairs. Joe is highly skilled, his work is high quality, communicates very well, organized, and he is dependable. It is a pleasure to work with him and his company."

"Kramer's quote for the project was fair and did not change as the project progressed. Kramer took initiative to solve problems and to get clarity when needed. He did a great job laying the floor tile and setting the backsplash for both the kitchen and bathroom. I have already hired to install three external doors for another property of mine."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.

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.

Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.
