"Sean C, Evan S, Justin D, and Darian W just completed a walk in shower replacement. They were respectful, courteous, friendly, and professional. They first removed a tub and ceramic tile. Then installed the walk-in shower. No dust or dirt was left behind. Their meticulous work ethic was much appreciated. I will definitely recommend West Shore to anyone looking to upgrade their shower. Thumbs up to this company and especially the installers named above!"

"They were able to get a team out fast and do all the work from opening up the wall to locate and repair the leak that caused the damage to the floor to repairing the drywall after. And of course they fixed the subfloor and the new tile looks amazing!"

"He was very responsive, professional, nice, stuck to the estimate he gave me, helped me pick the colors of the tile, and went above and beyond for me with some other little things around the house. He is a fantastic young man, and I intend to refer him to everyone I know."

"After some hiccups due to some initial sub-par tiling, Mel kept at it, and at his own expense re-tiled the shower floor twice at our request. It took longer than we would have liked, but the end result is great. Although our experience was not perfect, I have no hesitation recommending Mel and Improve America as a contractor that has integrity and stands up for the quality of their work. 5 stars, and some kudos to Mel, who has won us over with his diligence and desire for us to be happy with the work."

"These guys are great! Highly recommend this company. The tile technician was on time, thorough and just so easy to work with. He understood our needs and did a great job with color sealing the tub and floor tile. We had one small issue and within a day of a call to the company, the owner was here to fix the small issue."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.

There are no unbreakable rules of design, but experts recommend against using large tiles in areas with poor subflooring where they’re more prone to cracking, in areas where the floor isn’t entirely level, over raised areas or dips, and in bathrooms where budget is the primary concern. The size of your bathroom shouldn’t be a reason not to use large tiles; in fact, larger tiles, also known as slab tiles, can be a modern and sleek choice for bathroom floors and walls.

There are several different products that allow underwater repair. Pool putty can help repair chips, cracks, and loose tiles without draining your pool, but it should only be used for a temporary fix. Certain two-part epoxy adhesives will cure underwater, too. That said, while it is technically possible to fix pool tiles underwater, it is usually not ideal, depending on the depth of your pool. You will still have to reach the tile, which means you might have to dive and make the repair while submerged.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.
