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."

"Travis from Arete Tile did a fantastic job on our bathroom! He turned our ugly bathroom into a masterpiece with the tile. He was very helpful with choosing the tile, and when he installed it, he knew what he was doing and cleaned up perfectly when he was finished! I would highly recommend!"

"I knew from the first day I talked to Scott that AQC was the right company to install my front and back patio. I did have 1 other estimate, but just didn't feel right about it. After I met Rob, and then Alex, I was so confident they were a top-notch company, and they are! They were professional as well as so personable. The crew was great!!! They worked so well together. It was fascinating to watch them work. Everything they said they would do, they did, and more. My front patio was regular concrete and the back patio was stamped concrete. They came out absolutely beautiful!!! This project has been the talk of my neighborhood. My family and I could not be happier. We will be hiring them again to do our driveway. I highly recommend AQC. They will not disappoint!!"

"Chris was excellent! I highly recommend. We had a problem with our front door, literally for years. It continued to get worse and worse until it became a real problem. Chris and I diagnosed the problem, and Chris fixed it beautifully. It is such a pleasure to have our door work as it did when it was installed. He was prompt and went above and beyond. I will definbitely utilize Chris in the future"

"Had flooring installed in January 2024. Came to home on time and did an excellent job. Polite workers, and cleaned up when they left. Should I need flooring again, would call again and definitely recommend them to anyone."

Ceramic Tile 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). 

It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.
