"Juan and his crew were extremely professional and courteous, not to mention true artists. We had 1000ft/sq to remove and install Saltillo tile, And shower. We are extremely happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Caldera’s Tile for any tile work. Bob Hurtado"

"They did an amazing job on my bathroom floor! I had old tile that they removed and new tile installed. They arrived on time, worked hard all day long, and at the end of the day they left the area clean. I would hire Carmelo again without hesitation!"

"Gabe was very professional and prompt. He surveyed the damaged area, pulled the tiles with no damage, found the issue and explained my options. Once it was decided to repair the damage, and was done in a couple of hours. He did excellent work, was timely, and reasonably priced. I would recommend him and continue to use him."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When considering the types of grout for your project, unsanded grout is the best choice for penny tile. Unsanded grout can fit better into narrow spaces, like those between the small penny tiles, and it’s easier to smooth out for a seamless finish. However, if you’re unsure, check with a tile installation pro to determine which grout is best for your specific project.

It’s possible to walk on a clay tile roof, but you run the risk of breaking or cracking the tiles if you’re not careful, so it’s best not to walk on it if you can avoid it. If you or a contractor needs roof access, be sure to distribute your weight evenly and step on the portions of tile that are also supported underneath, which depends on your tile design. Walking on any roofing material is inherently dangerous, so wear rubber-soled shoes and use safety equipment if you need to access your roof.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.
