"Kitchen tile was in good shape but the grout was missing and cracked in places. They came in and cleaned tile and grout. Removed cracked grout and re-grouted in places. Then entire kitchen grout was sealed in the color I picked. Looks great now!"
"John was an easy-going person to work with. I could tell right away that he knew exactly what he was doing. He made recommendations to do a skim coat and gave it a day to cure. The next day he installed the tile and gave it another day to cure. The thi..."
"Love Tile & Marble’s owner, Kevin McCall, is the superman of tile! He truly saved the day. He has a meticulous eye for detail, fantastic customer service, and the quality of his work is second to none. Kevin and his crew turned our nightmare bathroom into the nicest room in our house. From our initial consultation to our handshake goodbye, Kevin was as professional as it gets. At the end of every day Kevin and his crew cleaned up so well you would never know we were under construction. What struck us the most was Kevin's knowledge and skill, and the pride all the guys at Love Tile took in their work. We could not have asked for a better experience and our only regret is that we don't have any more rooms to tile!
We originally hired another company to renovate our bathroom. After 8 grueling weeks of unbridled incompetence, we had what amounted to a junior high shop project. Our original contractors left with the job half done and the bathroom was a total mess. We needed help and needed it bad, so we found Love Tile on Angie’s List and Kevin came out the next day. He clearly knew what he was talking about and his professionalism immediately put us at ease. The estimate he gave us was quite reasonable, too. Kevin brought in a crew to remove the old tile from the floor and walls, reframe the shower stall, and rebuild the walls. He brought in a plumber to help sort out the mess the last crew made as well. Once the old mess was removed Kevin worked his magic tiling the shower stall with ceramic tile and a glass mosaic border and marble shelves, as well as the bathroom floor. We are so thrilled with the outcome and love our beautiful new bathroom!
"Until I found th Groutsmith at Brandywine - I was thinking of ripping up the old tile and putting down new. Our bathroom floors look new now - and then we did the kitchen - it looks better than new, we changed the color of the grout."
The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
Ceramic tile can be slightly less expensive than porcelain pavers. You can find outdoor ceramic tile for as little as $1 per square foot, but high-end options tend to cost the same as porcelain.
Grouting hearth tiles is one of the most important steps. It seals the tiles so heat doesn’t transfer under the tiles so easily, which can be dangerous. For this reason, heat-resistant grout is a must. Grout also prevents dust, dirt, and any other material from gathering between your tiles. If this happens and those buildups are flammable, a fire could start between the tiles.
If you hire a professional to install a new floor, you can expect to pay between $50 and $75 per hour for labor. It takes two days on average to install a new floor as part of a bathroom remodeling project, but your timeline depends on your bathroom’s size and layout.
Tile countertops can be an excellent and budget-friendly option for a kitchen, provided they are installed correctly. It's important to choose tiles, such as ceramic, that are heat-, water-, and scratch-resistant. When the grout is properly sealed, it will resist stains, making the surface easy to clean. Tile is also considered a sustainable material. For a cohesive kitchen design and added protection, you can pair a tile countertop with a matching tile backsplash.
