"Joe gave a reasonable quote based on pictures of where I needed to have tiles replaced.. He was easy to schedule with and contacted me a day before to confirm. The work was well done and looks so good I cannot tell the repairs from original! I would hire Tile & Grout Solutions again and recommend to anyone."

"We worked with Roberta, who acted as the project manager and provided design input. She met us at Dal-tile and helped us select a beautiful granite. She also arranged the initial measurement, templates and followed up to resolve some minor issues. The installation was completed on-time and the cost was the same as the initial estimate. We encountered some minor issues, but Roberta had them addressed very quickly to our complete satisfaction. I'd recommend Solidstone and especially Roberta to anyone looking for granite countertops. She was wonderful. A couple of pointers: 1. If you need corbels to support counter overhangs, order them early and have them installed before the granite arrives and 2. Think about access to electrical outlets and arrange to have holes drilled in the coountertop to pass electrical cords through.
"An excellent job. Patrick helped me find samples of wood I like and we ended up using a handscraped walnut which has been both beautiful and durable. We looked for our own tile at various local suppliers and had him install it in the kitchen and bathrooms. We put in porcelain tile which is also terrific. The job was professionally done and at a competitive price - what more can you ask for? "
"My bathtub was stuck in the 60’s. The tile was pink and the tub was peeling. Michael came out, was incredibly professional and gave a reasonable quote. His work far exceeded my expectations! I feel like I took a time machine and jumped to a modern spa. I absolutely love it!!!! We are refinishing our kitchen countertops next and Michael will be our first call."
No, you don’t need to remove the old grout before installing new tile over existing tile. In fact, the old grout helps fill in gaps between tiles, creating a more even surface for the new layer. However, it's important to ensure that the grout is clean, solid, and free of cracks or crumbling areas. Damaged grout should be repaired or replaced before proceeding. Cleaning the surface thoroughly and filling any low spots will help the new adhesive bond properly and ensure a smooth, stable installation.
It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.
Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all best tile for a dog shower. Consider your budget, tile durability, aesthetics, and, most importantly, practicality. Avoid tiles your dog will slide around on. Pebbles are a great non-slip option, but are pricey and tricky to install. Glass might look modern, but it’s not scratch-resistant. Small, floor-rated ceramic or porcelain tiles are economical and have many grout lines that make the surface more slip-resistant. Pick a matte finish rather than a shiny tile if you want it to hide stray mud and hairs better.
To ensure an even and unbending surface to lay tiles on, you’ll typically need to put a subfloor under a tile floor. Fiber cement backboards are the most common choice, but using plywood is also possible. Don’t neglect this step, or you could risk water damage and grout or tiles prematurely cracking or crumbling, especially in an area with high foot traffic.
