"Jake is â top notchâ when it comes to tile installation! He did fantastic tile work on our entryway, ½ bath, laundry room, master bath floor and shower and second bath floor and tub surround (we canâ t wait for him to come back this spring to do our kitchen backsplash)! Jake would arrive as promised, worked with me on a daily basis, kept me posted on his progress and took care of absolutely everything! He completed the entire project in a timely fashion and stayed long hours until the project was finished. I sincerely appreciated the texts, phone calls and picture updates. He made sure that we were happy with every step of the install! My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the beauty of his craftsmanship. As any homeowner knows, it can be extremely difficult to find honest, hardworking people who are trustworthy and take obvious pride in their workmanship. If you are looking for someone who does 5 star tile work and provides outstanding customer serviceâ ¦hire Jake! â …â …â …â …â …"

Backsplash Installation 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). 

For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.

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.

Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.
