"Rich and his crew of workers did quality work. Every person in my house were also kind and respectful and easy to work with. Our space has been finished for about a week and half and we are already loving it!"

"He took over for another contractor who didn't do good. They're A -- Number One, the best in every way. He's very honest and reasonable in price. He's a very good and conscientious worker. Anything and everything you would want in a contractor, this kid is. He quoted a price for the mold removal and it ended up being more. We said we would pay the difference, but he said he quoted us a price and he was going to stick with it. He shows a lot of integrity. He's very, very honest. He's familiar with mold remediation and all forms of home improvement. You name it, he does it. I'm 71 years old and have been around. I know contractors and good workers. I don't know where he's been, because I wish we would have contacted him initially. I'd rate him higher than your rating scale goes. He's very good. When I called him, he came out that day. I would absolutely use him for other jobs. I feel very, very comfortable with him."
Yes, provided you aren’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.
Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’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.
The average cost for tile installation is about $2,000, with a typical price range between $500 and $6,500. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 for installation.
Several factors influence the total cost, including:
Installation Site: Costs vary for different areas. Common project costs are: kitchen floor ($870–$6,100), countertop or backsplash ($500–$3,000), bathroom floor ($300–$2,400), or shower wall ($225–$2,000).
Tile Type and Quality: The material significantly impacts price. For example, standard ceramic or travertine tile can cost about $1 per square foot, while luxury options like marble can be as much as $350 per square foot for the material alone.
Project Size and Complexity: The total square footage, the complexity of the pattern, and the shape of the tile (e.g., square, rectangle, hexagon, mosaic) will affect labor and material costs.
Site Preparation: The amount of prep work needed, such as removing old tile or installing a new subfloor or backer board, can add to the final price.
Tile Characteristics: The tile's durability rating and porosity can also influence the price.
Location: Labor rates vary by geographic location.
The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic.
For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.
The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.
