"Andrey was very professional and responsive to my questions about a porch project that I was considering. Key detail for me....he was where he said he would be, when he said he would be there. It was near immediate service and a reasonable quote as well. Although I didn't use TriCore this time, I wouldn't hesitate to call them for my next project."

"I hired this professional to install ceramic tile in my bathroom, and I couldn?t be happier with the results. The workmanship is excellent?clean cuts, precise alignment, and a flawless finish that completely transformed the space. He worked efficiently, kept everything organized, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. Everything was done on time and with great attention to detail. I?m extremely satisfied and would absolutely hire him again. Highly recommended!"

"A-1 Plus Remodeling recently repaired the drywall in our bathroom. It required sanding and a complete skim coat. Rommel was punctual and did an excellent job for a reasonable price. He provided a detailed estimate of the work to be done and did exactly as quoted. The quote for the same work from another company was much higher. The skim coat was perfectly smooth and the final result was beautiful. I am definitely keeping his name and number for future work."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.

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 easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

The choice of whether to tile or use an acrylic tub surround is up to you and can be based on a number of factors, including aesthetics, cost, waterproofing, ease of cleaning, and maintenance.

Tile is a beautiful, classic bathtub surround choice; while tile installation cost is higher, it’s customizable and offers visual appeal. Tile is also harder to clean and presents waterproofing problems because of grout lines. Acrylic surrounds can be more affordable, don’t require much maintenance, and are easier to clean. However, they aren’t usually as visually appealing and may need to be replaced if they become damaged.
