"Several months ago my wife and I had our master bath remodeled by a local contractor with many written recommendations. The remodeling job was a disaster. The plumbing fixtures leaked within the wall which caused subfloor damage and mold and mildew behind the wall and vanity. Cracks in the grout developed almost immediately after the project was completed. A shower wall that was installed was not installed to the existing wall properly which resulted in a very unstable shower wall. The shower floor was not installed properly thus water from the shower did not flow to the shower drain but puddled at the side of the shower floor. After looking at Angie?s list we contracted with Willy?s Tile to make the required repairs to the faulty work completed by the original contractor. The repairs were extensive and we are 110% satisfied with the work that was done by Willy?s Tile. The work was done professionally and to our complete satisfaction. A new wall was installed and plumbing redone to perfection. The subfloor was repaired in the shower and a new shower pan and tile was installed. The slope was corrected so all water flowed to the drain. Additionally, all other inferior, unprofessional faulty work performed by the original contractor was repaired by Willy?s Tile to our complete satisfaction. We did not know exactly what repairs needed to be done as we continued to discovered faulty work by the first contractor as the repair work progressed. Willy was very professional in performing the repairs, showed us daily the problems he discovered in the original work and made all repairs professionally and to our total satisfaction. We were very please with the quote we received from Willy?s Tiles for the repairs and feel the quote was more than justified for the quality and professionalism of the work performed by Willy?s Tile. The crew from Willy?s Tile were courteous, professional and focused on ensuring that the repair worked performed was to our expectation . The attention to detail exhibited by the men from Willy?s Tile was beyond our expectation. I recommend Willy?s Tile for any work needed whether new or repair. We got 2 more projects planned, the remodeling of a guest bathroom and a brick patio. We plan to use Willy?s Tile exclusively for both projects without seeking any other bids.
"Joe is extremely professional and a master at his craft. He does not try to recommend unnecessary work to be done. He is prompt and his work ethic is wonderful. Unlike other people who we have hired he is neat and clean. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for any tile work that needs to be done in their home."
"Tiled a side porch for me. Very professional and helpful salesperson. Quick estimate within my budget; told me exactly what supplies I needed to purchase; came on time for all scheduled appointments; did a great job with installation and cleaned up all work areas before leaving ! All persons I dealt with were most kind and courteous. Fran Woods"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.
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.
Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.
For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.
It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.
