"The shower re-tile project was done perfectly and to my specifications. I am very happy with the quality of work. Mr. Medina and his crew are knowledgeable and hard working. Everyone was so professional and helpful from the first time I called them, all the way through completion. The project turn around was very quick. I highly recommend Medina"s Construction."
"The owners of Bella Maison (B-M), Ruth & Jacques, and their project manager, Joel, provided EXCELLENT SERVICE during the holidays and extreme weather. They focused on our needs to try and finish the smoke restoration project as fast as possible during the 39 days we had to be out of our home. Joel and his team of cleaners worked well together and were very accommodating to our requests regarding our concerns on cleaning, packing, and the environment since our house was built green. They used the garage for a staging/storage area and did their best to keep the house clean of trash during the project. Overall, not just good, but GREAT!! B-M took pictures of, itemized, packed & relocated by trailer all large & small furniture, furnishings, multiple oriental carpets, and clothes to their nearby warehouse for cleaning & smoke odor removal by ozonation in a sealed room. Cleaned soot from all interior walls, ceilings, tile floors, wood doors & cabinetry, windows & glass block, ceiling fans using specialty dry chemical sponges at least twice. Removed remaining soot & smoke smell from all interior house surfaces including stone fireplace (interior & exterior plus folding glass enclosure) and kitchen counter, and soapstone counter tops w/chemical wash (at least twice) & an extended ozonation of house & attic (at least a week). Cleaned & packed all electronics equipment including computers. Washed & dried by hand, and replaced in proper location all dishes, utensils, and personal treasures not relocated to warehouse. Disconnected and relocated clothes washer & dryer from laundry room to garage. Cleaned & removed two flat panel televisions & supports from walls. Removed & cleaned five surround system speakers from ceiling. Removed all air duct grates, cleaned & repainted at warehouse. Steam cleaned & sealed tile floors & grout for entire house (no carpets). Coordinated the professional laundry cleaning of all our clothes. After work completed by third party paint contractor, B-M returned from warehouse all cleaned large & small furniture, boxed furnishings, oriental carpets, electronics and clothes to their respective rooms or closets. Reinstalled all cleaned light bulbs, air duct grates and clothes washer & dryer. Reinstalled the supports and two flat panel televisions on walls. Attempted to clean smoke/soot-damaged window shades. In addition to their smoke restoration services, we had Joel coordinate with the insurer's field inspector, interview & recommend a local painting contractor, and coordinate with & provide support for the geothermal air conditioning system by removing all flex duct for geothermal & ERV systems & providing measurements for replacement & installation by geothermal system warranty service providers. All shades for windows & sliding glass doors were removed and replaced by a third party local vendor.
"I met Jill at our home and she took measurements and photos of our sons' room. We talked briefly about my ideas for the space. She provided several concept boards, for window treatments, furniture, and an overall "look" for the rooms. She also provided us with floor plans for each room. She brought paint colors, fabric selections, etc. Our first job with Jill was our sons' room. For the playroom, she had some pretty unique ideas that were right in line with the contemporary- but not too modern- look we wanted. She helped me with tips on doing some of the decorative painting myself, but also provided a few resources in case we wanted to hire the job out. She also helped me coordinate a subcontractor who handled a set of beautiful custom blinds. Jill tells me that in some cases she handles all the shopping, but that's part of the fun for me so she provided a list of links and stores for the items she chose. She gave a few choices for almost every item- budget and higher end. That allowed me to meet my budget while still getting some showstopper items, because we were able to save in other areas. Within a few weeks the room came together and got rave reviews after I posted the before and after photos on Facebook. And of course our visitors were amazed at the transformation. In the interim, we were redoing our guest bathroom on our own, and Jill was able to come into the project to help us choose tiles, wall colors, and vanity choices. A quick job that turned out really well considering the turn around time. A few months later we hired Jill again to rethink our living room and dining room. We were on a much more limited budget for both rooms but wanted to see what she could come up with considering some challenges in both the shape of the rooms and that I wanted to integrate some antique pieces we already owned. She came up with a brilliant look that blended our older pieces with a contemporary and clean look and we came in well under budget. Working with Jill was a lot of fun and we expect to continue to work with her to refine the look of our home. When I was considering hiring an interior designer I was worried about my low budget and lack of experience hiring someone to make these kind of choices for me. But it turned out to be the best decision we've ever made for our home because she allowed us to transform each area well under budget and much more quickly than we ever could have done on our own (well, we would have taken forever to make a decision on every item!). My favorite rooms in the house are the ones she's worked on with us. I just feel so happy that we found Jill Seidner."

"We had a custom shower built and a tile bathtub surround, tile kitchen backsplash, and tile flooring installed. Enrique was responsive, easy to work with, communicated with us consistently throughout our projects, and he and Guadalupe both did quality work. I would recommend and use them again."
"My family was devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Our home received over 5 feet of water. So, this job was a huge undertaking. Ace, James Abrego, was very responsive and available to us. He addressed the issues as they arose. He is personable, professional, and dependable. He has a very good team of plumbers, electricians, painters, cabinet makers, tile people, glass people, etc. On many occasions him and his crew completed various projects cheaper than we expected. Ace was at our home almost daily throughout our rebuild, helping with suggestions, and ideas that were always spot on. Very refreshing in this day and age. The high quality of work performed turned our home back into a beautiful place to live and relax."
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.
The underlayment determines a ceramic tile’s sturdiness, and a cement board or backer board works best. Be sure to tape the joints when using these materials, and consider laying it on top of a layer of thin-set for more stability.
The average cost for tile installation is about $2,000, with a typical price range between $500 and $6,500. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $5 and $45 for installation.
Several factors influence the total cost, including:
Installation Site: Costs vary for different areas. Common project costs are: kitchen floor ($870–$6,100), countertop or backsplash ($500–$3,000), bathroom floor ($300–$2,400), or shower wall ($225–$2,000).
Tile Type and Quality: The material significantly impacts price. For example, standard ceramic or travertine tile can cost about $1 per square foot, while luxury options like marble can be as much as $350 per square foot for the material alone.
Project Size and Complexity: The total square footage, the complexity of the pattern, and the shape of the tile (e.g., square, rectangle, hexagon, mosaic) will affect labor and material costs.
Site Preparation: The amount of prep work needed, such as removing old tile or installing a new subfloor or backer board, can add to the final price.
Tile Characteristics: The tile's durability rating and porosity can also influence the price.
Location: Labor rates vary by geographic location.
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.
When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don’t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they’ll need to be replaced much sooner.
