"They were amazing! We’ve used them twice now and hope they are able to come back to do the rest of the floors. They are very professional and always start working the second they pull into the driveway. No stalling, procrastinating, or laziness. They work hard and the price is unbelievably fair for what they do."

"Excellent Angie's Deal. Ramon was able to schedule us immediately, and Chris was able to complete both projects in the allotted time (4 hours). The wall blends perfectly with the existing kitchen wall that we're going to wait on a splash behind the stove.  We had concern about the quality of the dry wall material being used to fill the hole left by the electrian that wasn't fully addressed; apparently it "didn't matter", and was covered in a blink. Better had we done that shopping in advance (material was not included in the price).  But it does look very good, and so does the bathroom ceiling, though it needs a painting (another project). Chris was careful to clean up afterwards, and he used a tarp to protect the carpet.

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

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.

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

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

Tile costs vary by material; for example, ceramic tends to be more affordable than stone. These influence installation timelines and skill requirements.
