"Joe was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and always on time. He always replied to texts emails calls promptly and was able to squeeze my tile job in the very next week! His work was of the highest quality, and he showed great attention to detail. He was able to save my existing shower pan and rework the base and tile, saving us a lot of money. I am very happy with JMS home repair and will definitely use them again. In fact, I have already booked Joe for a ceiling repair job in our powder room! Overall, a very positive experience"

"Miguel and his team were excellent. They always arrived on promised start time for the day, MIguel would brief me about the work they intended to do for the day and make sure I understood and agreed with their plan/approach. Every day they went about their business as professionals. When something unexpected came up or they had questions, Miguel informed me immediately and we discussed and resolved how best to move forward. List of jobs performed: Drywall repair, room painting, flooring installation in kitchen and bedrooms, new shower installation, replaced carpeting in two rooms and on stairs, deck post replacements, deck sanding and staining. They made sure to move or cover nearby items while working to protect them, cleaned up at the end of each day, and brought a dumpster to collect and haul away the trash and debris. Could not have asked for better information, recommendations, and professional service."

"It was such a pleasure to work with Kevin and Alberto from Love Tile and Marble. Kevin was super responsive, trustworthy, and honest throughout the vetting/estimate process and that trait was consistent throughout the work. He was pretty easy to a get a hold of when I had questions leading up to the start date of the job and was also flexible with the starting date (working around my wife's travel schedule) which we very much appreciated. The floors look amazing thanks to their hard work and a clear attention to detail. I would go out of my way to recommend Kevin and Love Tile and Marble to anyone who needs tile work done. We couldn't be happier."
You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.
If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.
Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.
Regrouting is cheaper than retiling, and it involves less work. Grout is available in a wide range of colors, making it a cost-effective way to improve the look of any tiled area in your home.
No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.
The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
