Q: Do you tile over hot mop?

• <div><p>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). </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: Why should tiles be installed or repaired professionally?

• <div><p>Professional installation ensures a uniform, durable surface, and proper sealing, and guarantees workmanship quality, preventing future issues linked to water damage or instability.</p></div>

Q: What is the labor cost of tile laying?

• <div><p>If you hire a professional to lay tile, you can expect to pay <b>$3 to $15 per square foot </b>for labor. For a 100-square-foot tiling project, that would equal <b>$30 to $150</b> in labor. These costs may increase if you need extra services (such as tile removal, wall repair, or waterproofing). For example, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-average-cost-remove-ceramic-tile.htm">tile removal costs</a> an additional <b>$2 to $7 per square foot</b>.</p></div>

"Frankly, five out of five stars isn't a high enough rating for the work Christopher did in building our house. If we could give him 10 stars, we would! He exceeded our expectations at every step of the planning and building process. He listened carefully in the design phase and worked hard to give us what we wanted. He was always responsive in communication, collaborative in his approach to the work, transparent about costs, and good with sub-contractors. He efficiently managed the inevitable unexpected challenges of a new build and worked with us to find good solutions. Christopher built an amazing and beautiful house for us, and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend! "

"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."
