"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."

"PG Tedesco did an excellent job remodeling our bathroom. The team was courteous, easy to work with, and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. They worked with difficult materials- glass tiles - and created a beautiful new bathroom for us. I highly recommend them."

"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

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

Yes. You can tile over tile if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it’s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor.

Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.

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.

Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.
