"This is the second time I used The
Floor Magicians and as before I was very impressed.  Originally
I had intended on using ceramic tile in two bathrooms I was
remodeling.  When Rob came out for a consultation neither he nor
I knew exactly what we would be dealing with as far as subfloor
condition and thickness. I was very concerned about having a smooth
transition from the hardwood flooring to the tile and Rob was very
accommodating of this. We scheduled a date of install and we agreed
that I would do the demolition and subfloor replacement and after
several reschedules including a custom shower enclosure being delayed
over a week, my daughter being born early, changing material from
ceramic tile to groutable vinyl tile, as well as a few other things,
I thought we were finally ready to go. I called Rob up and he and
his son squeezed me in to their booked schedules only to realize when
they arrived that I just had the drywall finished the day before.
Rather than install the tile and risk the drywall dust settling into
the wet grout, Rob insisted that we wait and they come back another
day. I felt really bad but consented. When the dust had settled and
I cleaned it up, they came back and laid the tile to perfection. We
have gotten many compliments on the tile and the threshold transition
is non-existent. I forgot to mention with the crunch of my slightly
premature newborn daughter I didn't have the time to install the
finish layers of the subfloor I had planned on. As I had taken a
full week doing the base subflooring, I knew there was no way I was
going to fit it in and so I asked Rob what he would want to add that
to his scope of work. Rather than commit highway robbery due to my
desperate situation he was very reasonable and I kid you not they did
that part of the job expertly in about 2 hours. I ultimately paid
them a little extra due to the delays and my satisfaction with the
job without them asking for it even though they were entitled. I
will definitely use The Floor Magicians again..

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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 can let the tile sit without grout. Don’t panic if there’s a delay between installing the tiles and grouting. A substantial stoppage isn't a problem, provided you keep the tile surface clear of dust and debris. Also, avoid walking over less stable ungrouted floor tiles as they are more prone to premature cracking and shifting. 

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional services ensure precision and long-lasting results.

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.
