"This experience with Kathy Young of Young Tile Company restores my faith in contractors. She was clear in communicating with us, offered solutions. Her work was astonishing. She is an absolute artisan. I got 3 bids and hers was in the middle. Additionally, she sold us a few bottles of product to maintain our new marble floors. She restored our shower also. It was amazing to watch. Highly recommend this company."
"I hired Pippen Brick and Tile to repair my earthquake damaged fireplace chimney. They came over the same day and removed dangerous loose bricks until the weather allowed them to repair it. The repairs were completed in one day and Iâ m very happy with the results."
"Zavala’s was the best stone/tile expert I’ve ever seen. He was professional from the very start. He was dependable, great to work with, did a lot of extra work from last minute requests and very friendly. Our project required 2 x 4 foot heavy porcelain sheets, mounted ten feet high. He did intricate work on windows, floor, and walls.
He comes VERY highly recommended."

"Shout out to Frank for more beautiful floor work. Our kitchen keeps getting better and better! Take a look at this tile. Wish we had found Cransten earlier, but we WILL be coming back to them."
"They were amazing! Got everything done in a timely matter and left things super clean! They were great to work with and I’d recommend them every time"
Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
Ceramic tile adheres best with premixed adhesive or mortar. If you’re installing the tile in an area with moisture, such as a bathroom or kitchen, opt for waterproof adhesive, and if you choose mortar, make sure it’s thick because that is the easiest to work with and ensures the tiles will sit flat.
Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.
If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.
Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.
