Q: What do you put down under ceramic tile?

• <div><p>The underlayment determines a ceramic tile&rsquo;s sturdiness, and a cement board or backer board works best. Be sure to tape the joints when using these materials, and consider laying it on top of a layer of thin-set for more stability.</p></div>

Q: Can I tile a shower myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tile-shower.htm">tile a shower</a> as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: Are tile countertops cheaper than granite?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-granite-countertops-cost.htm">Granite countertops cost</a> an average of <b>$3,250</b> compared to <b>$2,250</b> for tile countertops. Granite is also harder to DIY than tile, given its weight and bulk, which increases the overall labor cost of installation. Over time, both types of countertops may need sealing to remain resistant to water, heat, and other common kitchen elements.</p></div>

Q: Does ceramic tile need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Glazed ceramic tiles don&rsquo;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.</p></div>

"Jeff and Tim were very good and honest contractors. They installed ceramic tile in 5 areas of my home. The estimate was completed shortly after I called, and the job was started within a couple of days. They did very well at keeping me informed if there was a problem, and getting it resolved in a timely manner with the lowest cost possible. They were very professional and were always there on time, and on the days that we established. I would recommend them to anyone, and wouldn't hesitate to use them for any project in the future."
