"Olvin is by far the best contractor we've ever worked with. Smart, diligent, communicates well, works fast, cleans up afterwards, reasonably priced, and so much more. He did a full reno of the kitchen of my dad's Bayside coop, and partial reno of two bathrooms. He also did repair work in my Jamaica Estates home, identifying a roof leak and repairing the leak and ceiling. Call Olvin, and tell him Gary sent you. You will not be disappointed. My only fear is that next time I need him, he'll be too busy helping you. LOL."
"The Ceramic Man did an amazing job repairing and restoring damaged shower tile in my upstairs bathroom. The tile in the shower had come loose causing water to gather and cause damage to the wall behind. The Ceramic Man did the necessary repairs and restored the shower to its original state. When the work was completed, the shower, which is quite old, looked brand new. My Pro was honest, knowledgeable, hardworking and provided feedback on the progress of the project each step of the way. I would highly recommend The Ceramic Guy for any tile project big or small and look forward to working with him in the future for any tile project I mught have!"
"I hired Wilmer to tile my kitchen floor, approximately 200 sq ft. I had a black and white tile on a diagonal. He did an amazing job. He gave me a fair price and worked around my schedule. I would recommend him to anyone."
"Hector came and gave a written estimate the same day I hired him to repair 5 cracked kitchen tiles and to regrout the kitchen and laundry room. Brian showed up on time was extremely professional walked me through his entire process. He gave choices of grout color and completed the entire job in 6 hours. Our floor looked Brand New. Would use again and highly recommend. Best decision ever! Only wish is we had done it sooner. Thank you Brian"
"Micheal was timely when he met with us to go over the work that we wanted to get done. A brick wall to give us privacy in the back of the house with a strip of paved flooring for our new outdoor grill and cabinets, front steps and paved pathway to the front entrance of the house. He was so patient and came up with a lot of great ideas such as adding out door multi color led strip lighting around the new wall and garage. Which adds a wonderful ambience to our outdoor entertaining. The price was fair and Micheal and his team were professional, worked precise and they take Pride in their Craft. We’re looking forward to our next project. Will Definitely recommend."
"Dmitry is a great guy, very professional, clean and reliable painter, I am very happy with his work, he went an extra mile in my project and my client is very happy with the job. Thank you Dmitry!!"
"Dominick did an excellent job on my project, which was to scrape our bathroom ceiling, do some light replastering, and prime and paint with a special anti-mold paint. He and his assistant arrived on time both days, took great care to protect our floors and bathroom, and even vacuumed our ceiling vent for us. His prices are on the high side, but we're thrilled with the result and would work with him again."

The debris was discarded. The job was completed in a timely manner. I love my new modernized bathroom! I highly recommend Kalnitech Construction Corp. THANK YOU KALNITCH!"
"I highly recommend Powers Construction Company. They worked within my financial budget and helped me pick out my gorgeous floors. Jonathan and Serge removed 1,240 square ft of carpet throughout my condo. They made sure it was disposed properly here in Marlboro, NJ. They worked in a timely matter, extremely clean workers and very pleasant personality. I highly recommend them and will definitely hire them in the near future for my next project. Thank you again for working within my budget and getting job done without a mess."
Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more.
Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.
The cost depends on the type of natural stone. High-end stones can cost as much as porcelain, but it depends on the specific material. For example, the cost of flagstone pavers is typically $2 to $6 per square foot,which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain. Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as $35 per square foot,which is about the same as porcelain.
You can put hot pans on porcelain countertops. Porcelain is highly resistant to heat—it’s manufactured at around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can withstand a ton of heat without cracking or damaging. Even though the high heat is a plus, you should still be cautious when putting hot surfaces on porcelain countertops.
