"This was one of the best experiences we have had working with a contractor. It was a for a large install of ceramic tile. From removing the old hardwood, to leveling, to tile install and quarter round install through final cleanup, all was great. The finished flooring looks fantastic! Very diligent, thorough and professional from start to finish. As a bonus they also painted an area of our home with 16’ ceilings and it looks great, saving us time and a lot of effort. 5 stars plus!!!"
"Brandon and Haley with Quality Flooring and renovations did an outstanding job renovating our powder room. They came and worked in our home on a holiday and delivered as promised. The old wood was replaced with new wood. They installed a new toilet and new sink and our powder room looks magnificent. Can’t recommend this company high enough! Call them today!"
"Jeff did an amazing job! We were thoroughly impressed with his work. Our pink tiled bathroom has been transformed and looks fantastic thanks to Jeff's talents. Quote was exactly what we were charged. Would highly recommend Williams Refinishing for bathroom's restoration. A++"
"We LOVE the new carpet we had installed on our stairs. Our stairs were so ugly for so long and we got over 10 quotes from smaller companies and larger companies and this quote was hands down the best we got for the product. They were installed beautifully and professionally. 10/10 recommend and will be using them to re do our guest bedrooms when we get ready to do them!"
"They did a great job. Bruce was very proactive and told me exactly what the cost would be and when the guys would arrive. They arrived on time, did excellent work and cleaned everything before they left. I would definitely recommend Columbia Tile and Grout and will use them again if I have another job to be done."
"Professional team showed up and installed the custom solar tile roof very quickly. They were very respectful of our schedule as well. Final product is very sharp looking and unique."
"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!"
"Nice guys. Did a pretty good job. Put flooring down in three bedrooms, that looks great. Put tile in a bathroom floor - missed putting group in a big (6 inch) space near the door opening. And the tile cuts, came up with a small 3 inch piece of tile at the door opening. Left a lot of grout on the baseboards to be cleaned. I'd give the bedrooms a 4.5 star, but the bathroom is about a 3."
The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.
Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.
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, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix.
