"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

When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
