Do I need to remove old grout before installing new tile?

• <div><p>No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">grout is clean</a>, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.</p></div>

Q: How do I get uniform spacing between tiles?

• <div><p>Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.</p></div>

Q: Is it expensive to change the layout of a bathroom?

• <div><p>Altering the layout of your bathroom will make a big difference as moving or adding plumbing quickly inflates your total bill. While you can recoup more of your cost (in home value terms) by adding a bathroom, rearranging the layout won&rsquo;t affect your home&rsquo;s sticker value. However, strategic placements that allow more light or better flow may increase buyer interest. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take to tile a shower?

• <div><p>Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.</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>

It went great! We called on Monday to schedule service and he came on Friday to do the job. He could have came earlier, but the cold weather earlier in the week prevented that. When the job was done, the carpets looked and smelled great!

Showed up when scheduled, did great job, did the counter top first, then a tile man came and did floor. Area looks beautiful and price was more than fair. The owner came out twice during job to oversee things. I would love to have them back to do kitchencountertops and floor.
