"Very prompt response to my inquiry. They did not need to come out to estimate the flooring installation, just from photos and my measurements. They were able to come out the next day. Installers were also prompt and efficient. Cleaned up after themselves and the work quality is very good. Would definitely use them again."

"The grout in our master bath shower was moldy and cracked. We got another estimate but Tony's price was better and he was able schedule the job promptly. He was very professional and friendly. Before starting the work he laid down cardboard over our hardwood floors, and drop cloths over stairs and carpeting. When the old tile was removed it was evident that the builder had used ordinary wallboard behind the tile, which was damp, and would have been more of a problem in years to come if we hadn't replaced it as Tony recommended. The actual job took only 3 days, though it was delayed several times due to the rough winter we had. Tony always kept in touch and was always available by phone. We are very pleased with our new shower. When the job was done, Tony cleaned up everything. He used the garage to cut tile and left it cleaner than when he started. We would definitly have him work for us again and will recommend him to others.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Popular options include ceramic, porcelain, stone, and glass tiles, chosen based on the area (bathroom, kitchen) and desired aesthetic.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.

There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.
