"Reasonable price, installed on time (even earlier than expected) and very professional. Jim, the owner, professionally suggested some better ideas in of the layout of the tile. We are so glad we listened. The floors look gorgeous and the house looks bigger now. The same with the grout, he suggested a color--it looks great with the tile and it even ties the kitchen tile with the living room tile. Amazing work! We are very pleased with the installation. We definitely recommend and will use again for floor installation in other rooms in the future."

"

I had tile flooring installed last year in my kitchen and noticed how the grout was cracking throughout the kitchen. I called South Gate Home Improvements for an estimate to replace the tile. With a very reasonable estimate I had them to install the new tile.

Prior to him installing my new tile he showed me how the previous contractor did not screw down the backer board but used roofing nails instead which was the reason for my grout cracking. He spent the time correcting the deficiency and installed the new tile. The design I chose called for some precise cuts with the tile. Mr. Perabeau took his time and now I have beautiful solid tile flooring. I highly recommend him for all your remodeling needs."

"Company seemed professional and eager to help with our problem.  Promises of quality work were made.  Open-ended estimate given due to unknown seriousness of problem.  Also open-ended time frame given for same reason. Original time frame was a week to ten days, and it took 4 weeks. Problem was worse than originally thought.  They did a great job tearing out and rebuilding floor and walls, cleaning up and hauling away debris.  We were very happy with the progress up to this point.   Unfortunately, something went wrong with the sealing of the marble tile on the floor and in the shower, which made it necessary to strip the sealer and buff the tile. At first they tried just polishing the tile, which didn't take off the sealer. Then they  used a stripper, which caused the original sheen on the tile to be marred.  In most of the shower, the old sealer was not totally removed. They came back more than once to fix the problem and left with the problem not properly taken care of, as well as care  not being taken to prevent dust from getting all over the bedroom and the rest of the house. They offered to come back again, but by then we had enough of the mess the polishing was making in our house.  We also lacked confidence that they could fix the problem.  Also, in some places the grout was not done well with voids and gaps in it.  I had to clean old sealer off shower tile and re-grout places on the floor where grout was missing.  The marring of the tile from the stripper can still be seen, however.  We paid the full amount billed with no argument.  The project started with such high expectations but ended up with a sour taste in our mouth due to over promising and under performance."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

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). 

Updating your backsplash without removing the tile is possible in a couple of different ways. First, you can remove the old grout and replace it with new grout to give your backsplash a fresh look. You can also change the grout color, which can have a surprisingly large impact on the final appearance of the backsplash. Finally, you can paint the original tile to totally change the look of the backsplash without removing it.

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing.
