Q: How long does it take to tile a shower?

• <div><p>Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.</p></div>

Q: How do you use T-shaped tile spacers?

• <div><p>Add a T-shaped spacer to each corner of a tile when placing it. You&rsquo;ll want to nudge the tiles closer together so the spacers are touching each corner. When you&rsquo;re done installing your tile, you can remove each spacer, wash them, and use them for your next project. </p></div>

Q: How do you finish the edges of a tiled hearth?

• <div><p>If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren&rsquo;t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You&rsquo;d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. </p></div>

Q: What tile spacing should I use?

• <div><p>The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you&rsquo;re installing it. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-bathroom-floor-and-wall-tile-spacers.htm">Choosing the right tile spacers</a> to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn&rsquo;t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.</p></div>

Q: What types of tiles are available?

• <div><p>Options include clay, concrete, and slate tiles. Each offers unique durability, aesthetics, and costs.</p></div>

"Alex was an amazing installer and has a keen eye for detail. He arrived on time, communicated well, was polite and did an amazing job. He is a perfectionist (which I loved!!!) and took the time to do the job right and not just quickly. He takes pride in his work. He noticed imperfections in my subfloor and used a concrete leveler to fix low spots and a sander to hit the high spots before installing because he knows that can affect the way the floors wear over time. He even noticed a squeak in my floor and fixed that too. Floors are gorgeous! Thresholds look great! Alex arrived early each morning, worked hard everyday, gave me an update before he left everyday and tidied up. Seriously, a dream contractor! We haven't reinstalled baseboards yet, but these are my beautiful floors."

"Hired Craig for a tile job he said would take a few days ? it ended up dragging on for weeks. Despite our patience, he left the job unfinished after being fully paid. Poor communication, missed deadlines, and no accountability. Would not recommend."
