"Sam did an amazing job. He is a very professional artist at installing porcelain ceramic tile floors. He did our kitchen & laundry room & we are very pleased with the work. We asked for a quote on a bathroom remodel because he does things right from the start to finish."
"Calvin did an excellent job. The tile above my stove and under my window looks beautiful. He really has a knack for placing tile. He was quick, neat, and friendly. He helped me decide a good look in my design. He was kind, considerate, and I was so pleased in the outcome. HE even cleaned up well after the job I would highly recommend him for all tile work."
"Mr. Gerson(& crew) were very professional and on time. I requested luxury vinyl floors installed with base boards and quarter round throughout. They over delivered and were completely done in one day as promised. The look and feel have exceeded my expectations. I am very, very, very pleased."
"Replaced bathroom floor tile, and handled a tricky job well - needed to do significant repair to joists first. Fast, responsive, honest, clear communications all through. Very professional"

Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
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.
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.
Tile costs vary by material; for example, ceramic tends to be more affordable than stone. These influence installation timelines and skill requirements.
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.
