Customers say: Quality work

"I hired Jack to tile a shower for me. He arrived exactly when he said he would be there. He brought my bathroom to life with a beautiful designed shower. Each day he left my home completely spotless and made sure I was happy. I will have him back to to tile my back splash in my kitchen in the near future. His work is very impressive. I have received compliments from everyone that sees the shower."

"Nathan and Joe were very helpful in starting the process by answering all of my questions. I had chosen a tile for the floor, and also tile, accents, corner shelving and niche that was made by them for the shower. I think I did a pretty good job choosing the tile but they did an even better job installing it. I love it, my bathroom looks beautiful and modern now!! They did excellent, clean, precise work. I would recommend them to everyone."

From the beautifully tiled shower to the vanity installation and finishing touches, every element reflects Joe?s quality work for such a fair pricing too! Joe?s communication throughout the project was clear and consistent. He kept everything on schedule and maintained a clean worksite. We?re so glad we chose Joe for this bathroom remodel and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy contractor.

"I am super-happy with Hughes Flooring. Bill Hughes and Anthony were prompt, professional, friendly, and did a spectacular with our new floors. When Bill noticed a few issues with the wood product we provided, he notified us immediately and determined how to make it work. He also gave us options & thoughts about parts of the job we wished to do ourselves to save some money. Bill's prices are fair, and his service and quality of work are excellent. I would absolutely use him again!"

"I used Z & J for my recent remodel and truly could not be happier with the work, as well as the guys who came out and completed the work. Zach and his crew were on time, professional, kept me updated and cleaned up literally everything before leaving. I cannot recommend them enough and will be using them for all of my future projects. Do not hesitate to book Z & J"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic. 

Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.
