"The crew was able to take a vision we had to gut a 50 year old bathroom and create what some friend s describe as spa like. They showed up every day on time, were courteous, respectful to me and my house. They prepped the house to minimize dust and debris. Their work is beyond meticulous! True craftsmanship. Bathroom is posted on their Facebook. Itâ s the gray colored tile walls and white floor. So happy with the project I will be contracting them to do the same for my kitchen. Red Rooster was instrumental in giving input to use and improve the vision and concepts I had. If you want a professional job done from start to finishâ ¦..Red Rooster is the only way to go."

"Richie was great from start to finish. Communication was excellent (which is rare for a contractor) and work was perfect! He finished up our hardwood floors in one weekend and they look wonderful. I would hire again in a heartbeat."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

Options include clay, concrete, and slate tiles. Each offers unique durability, aesthetics, and costs.

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 shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Replacing tile flooring can take a few days for a pro, but larger rooms will need more time. It takes eight to 12 hours for a tiling pro to remove old grout and tiles across 100 square feet. Then, it will take about four hours to prep the subfloor for tiles and another eight to 10 hours for a pro to install new tiles. Your tiling project may take up to a week, depending on the size of the room.
