Q: Can you lay tile and grout the same day?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don&rsquo;t wait.</p></div>

Q: What is the best trowel for penny tile?

• <div><p>The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you&rsquo;re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.</p></div>

Q: Can I tile a shower myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tile-shower.htm">tile a shower</a> as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you&rsquo;ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more. </p></div>

Q: Is it ever appropriate to leave tile in place when redoing a wall?

• <div><p>Yes, provided you aren&rsquo;t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install 1,000 square feet of tile floors?

• <div><p>For professional labor and materials, it would cost between <b>$6,000 and $28,000 </b>to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that&rsquo;s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-vinyl-or-linoleum-flooring-cost.htm">vinyl flooring costs</a> just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you&rsquo;d pay $2,000 to $7,000.</p></div>

"Kyle is absolutely my favorite contractor I have ever worked with. He answered my questions, gave me a quote in a timely manner and made sure the job was done up to my high standards. He cleaned up everything and didn?t leave a mess everywhere in his path which I haven?t had a contractor really do well before. I own a salon and had a window of days I needed the job done and he delivered! I had a wall that needed to be taken out, an extension added to an existing wall, tiling, countertops, new station and shampoo bowl and cabinets that all had to be taken care of. Kyle is very personable and reliable. I will definitely be hiring him again for my next home project."
