"Joe, the installer for Cransten, did a fantastic job laying the tile, installing the new toilet and repiping the new cabinet with facuet ! Felt nice to put a new coat of paint on the walls !!"
"Williams was a pleasure to work with. They refinished a tub and the tile around the tub. They also refinished a tile walk in shower. There was a piece of broken tile and they fixed that as well as some holes where handicap bars were located. It is very difficult to even find where the tile was broken now. They did excellent work and performed the work exactly when they said they would. The prices were very reasonable and they were a pleasure to work with."

"It was a great experience dealing with Abbey Carpet. The sale Representative was extremely helpful in assisting with picking out the tile and carpet. The installers were professional and knowledgeable of their work."
"Rene Salguero did an awesome job on my shower tile project. This is the 2nd job he’s done for me. He also tiled the bathroom & closet floor. He is always on time, does the work as he promises in the time frame that he quotes and Cleans up. The work is top notch! Highly recommend!!"
"I called DeSol Power Tiles to work up an estimate and design for a solar tile system at my house. And also to get better informed with the solar process. The staff was amazing and knowledgeable and put my mind at ease about taking the next step in freeing myself from the utility companies. I loved the way the product looked because it was more a roof with solar panels built in rather than those ugly, large traditional solar panels and the design was different which I liked. I know solar if the future and I'm going to take the plunge with DeSol Power Tiles and I suggest if you are considering going "solar", you go with DeSol."
"Were the only company out of 6 that responded quickly to my phone call, were at my house for inspection and estimate within a day, instead of 2-3 weeks like other companies. The owner came out and explained clearly (in layman's terms and with detail how they would fix the damage.) He gave an on-spot estimate that never changed. My fear was that he would offer the estimate, then nickel and dime me out of thousands more, but he stuck with the original estimate. He seems to know the business enough to provide an accurate estimate on the first visit. They came on time, finished the day they estimated and did a great job on the fix. The tile in the bathroom was not up to my standards, so I called Travis. He personally came out within an hour of my call. Agreed that the work was substandard, and completely redid the tile work for not charge. This type of service can be rare. It took an extra day, but they left the bathroom as if it were new.
"Hometown renovations did an excellent job installing tile in our kitchen and mudroom. Our quote was very reasonable and we were impressed with their attention to detail and professionalism. Our kitchen looks amazing, and we will definitely be using them again for our next home improvement project!"
There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.
It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.
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.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.
