"We had our large backyard patio covered with outdoor ceramic tile. I can tell you that Marco did an outstanding job. He took his time as he placed each individual tile with care and precision, making sure that each row of tile lined up as it should. If you are considering any type of tile work, I would not hesitate in recommending Marco for the job, I'm sure you will be pleased!"

Customers say: Quick response

"After my 1st meeting with John I knew that I would choose him for my bathroom reno. He responds quickly, shows up when promised..(on time) and immediately understood my vision. Instead of telling me how difficult the job would be....he assured me he could handle it all!! He emailed me a drawing the next day and explained the process. I would pick out and pay for my tile, fixtures, vanity, counters (with guidance from him) and he would quote a labor charge. Since I was gutting a small bathroom and knocking down a wall to combine it with an adjoining office the job entailed moving plumbing, waste lines, electric, ac venting and windows. He installed a tiled 4 x 6 walk in shower, new toilet, new ceramic plank tile flooring and 60" double vanity, relocated 1 window, added a new window, shower door, reinstalled all siding. John and Jack handled it all!! John is an upbeat ....can do anything....attention to detail... kind of guy....which I totally appreciated! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a bathroom reno that wants to work with a true pro!!!"

"We were extremely happy with the work performed by H&M. Moises, Hector and crew were courteous and did whatever needed to please us. They did most of the renovation in our condo......painting, installation of bathroom cabinets, sink, installed tile floor, etc. They also installed vinyl flooring in our kitchen, living and dining rooms. They had a plumber replace our heating baseboard, I would highly recommend H&M if you want excellent work done!!"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

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). 

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

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.
