"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

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

Regardless of the material, basic square tiles will never go out of style. Neutral colors like white, grey, beige, and black will always be in demand in residential and commercial settings. Certain designs, like herringbone and hexagonal patterns, are considered timeless. Porcelain and porcelain-like tiles will also never go out of style.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.
