Q: What should you avoid with porcelain tiles?

• <div><p>When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.</p></div>

Q: Can you tile over existing tiles in a bathroom?

• <div><p>Just because you can, doesn&rsquo;t always mean you should. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">apply new tile over existing tile</a> in a bathroom, but the new tile may not look great if you lay it over worn, cracked, or uneven tiles. The adhesive may not be able to attach the new tile to the old tile properly, and this will add more weight to the drywall.</p><p>It takes more time and effort, but removing existing tiles before retiling a bathroom is worth it.</p></div>

Q: How do you know how many boxes of tile you need?

• <div><p>The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.</p></div>

Q: Should grout be lighter or darker than the tile?

• <div><p>The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.</p></div>

Q: How long will tile flooring last?

• <div><p>Tile flooring will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even up to 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance. </p><p>You can help your tile floor achieve a longer lifespan by maintaining it properly. This includes cleaning it regularly (including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">cleaning the tile floor grout</a>), keeping the floor dry, and not setting super heavy items on it to keep it from cracking. You'll also want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-regrouting-tile-flooring.htm">regrout your tile floor</a> every 10 years. Using a grout sealer will help your floor last longer.</p></div>

We had a TERRIBLE experience. There was a great deal of sloppy work done. The painters did a terrible job on our cabinets, the tile work was sloppy, there were foot prints tracked on our foundation before it dried, and our farmhouse sink was dented (just to name a few). I also wanted a free...

They worked quickly, did a professional job and cleaned up after themselves. My house was actually cleaner when they left. I've had a rust stain on my tile that I couldn't remove and they removed it and it wasn't even in the area of the house they were working on. They were polite and respectful.
