From start to finish, Jared demonstrated top-notch professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail.

"I first used All Phase to have a decrepit old outside wall with windows torn down and rebuilt. From the minute I met Zach, I felt comfortable hiring him. He listens, understands and shares his knowledge on the best approach for the best results. He stayed in constant contact and get this, he showed up on time, every time!! The professionalism, workmanship, efficiency and results are amazing. Since that day, I have hired All Phase for outside painting, plumbing and some minor electrical work. I even called him when I was having problems with my pool filter. It was a task most people wouldn't have bothered with. Zach was nice enough to showup again for me. I've already scheduled him to do a major front porch project this spring. I have recommended him to friends and neighbors and every single one hired him on the spot. In fact, they've all thanked me for the referral. I highly recommend calling All Phase today. Not only will you be satisfied, you'll be happy you did...guaranteed!!!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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

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.

The number of shower niches you need (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you’re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.
