"TRUST LUIS ? YOU WON?T REGRET IT. I was referred to LMcoatings and worked directly with Luis on my bathroom remodel. From start to finish, the experience was excellent. Luis gave a fair quote and truly considered my timeline. I needed to move in before the end of January, and he adjusted the schedule to finish on time, which I really appreciated. He personally helped me select tiles, paint, and fixtures, patiently explaining pros and cons instead of rushing decisions. His crew was professional, detail-oriented, and handled everything from demo and cleanup to tile work, plumbing, and structural reinforcement. What impressed me most was the quality of work you don?t see ? everything underneath was done properly. Remodeling requires trust, and Luis delivered a solid, beautiful result. I highly recommend Luis and LMcoatings."

"Austin and his team are amazing! Spencer does the most amazing job at tile. Thanks to their hard work, our work in progress basement is finally finished. It looks more amazing than I ever thought it could look. Austin is always committed to make sure there is communication throughout the entire process and that we are completely satisfied with the work. His prices are very reasonable, and you definitely get your moneyâ s worth when working with these guys. If you have a job that needs to get done, I recommend giving them a call."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.

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.
