"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

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.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.
