Q: What is the cost of natural stone pavers vs. porcelain pavers?

• <div><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-common-flagstone-prices.htm">cost of flagstone pavers</a> is typically <b>$2 to $6 per square foot</b>,<b> </b>which is much more budget-friendly than porcelain<b>. </b>Outdoor slate tile can cost as much as<b> $35 per square foot</b>,<b> </b>which is about the same as porcelain.</p></div>

Q: Does the floor have to be completely level for tile?

• <div><p>Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you&rsquo;ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile over tile?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s time.</p></div>

Q: Does penny tile need to be sealed?

• <div><p>Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a backer board for wall tile?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-shower-tile-really-waterproof.htm">tile shower waterproofing</a>.</p></div>

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
