"Pitt is a very friendly, flexible, hard working, and detail oriented small business owner. He was very courteous and did a meticulous job replacing a handful of cracked/chipped floor tiles in our kitchen and laundry room. He always arrived on time, got the job done quickly, and let the work areas in better condition than he found them. His work is top notch and his prices are extremely reasonable. It is hard to find good hard working people who do quality work with such at good attitude at a palatable cost. Pitt did all that and so much more. I'm very particular and don't generally write review, but without question, I would hire Pitt again. I liked him and his work so much I asked if he could recommend someone for a different project because I trust him that much. Good guy, good work, fair price, it's as simple as that. Thanks Pitt!"

"What an amazing job they did! I absolutely love my new porch. He kept me informed every day, making sure he was fulfilling my request. A very nice, professional, yet personable man. Always cleaned my yard at the end of each day. I would highly recommend you call him first before anyone else."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.

The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
