"We used Sam to fully remodel our master bathroom and do some cosmetic work in our guest bathroom. We took down walls and started completely from scratch. Sam did all of the demolition, prep work, plumbing, electrical and installed some very intricate marble mosaic tile, for us on the floor of the bathroom and in the shower. Sam is punctual, responsive and extremely knowledgable about his craft. His men do incredible work when it comes to the finishes and he keeps a very clean workspace. All along the process Sam was present at the job and addressed any minor issues we had along the way immediately. You will not find any better bang for your buck in this area. I highly recommend him and we just hired him again to do even more work in our home."

"Zavala was hired primarily for floor tile replacement; but job evolved into a bathroom refresh/renovation. Floor tiling was geometric and not an easy lay. From day one to completion of the project, Mr. Zavala demonstrated a “spirit of excellence” in performing every facet of the project with attention to details; integrity, which is a rare commodity in the contractor industry and a genuine desire to insure project met both mine and his high expectations. Appreciated meticulous daily clean up until project completion. Zavala Construction (Wulian) now rests at the top of the list for my TWO preferred “go to” contractors."

"CJ contacted me almost immediately after I posted a request for a small painting job and came to our house to give an estimate, which was reasonable. He did the painting the next day, and the work was excellent. I will use him again."

"This was my first remodeling project that required demoing and re-tiling of our Master Bathroom and it was by far a great experience. They were very knowledgeable and explained everything to me throughout the project. They did a wonderful job of keeping me abreast at every point of the project and they were on time, professional, they have excellent communication skills, they were dependable and reliable. I would highly recommend Footprints Floors to anyone looking for a job well done!"

"Nicholas and Associates were excellent partners for our first ever home renovation. They redid our 80 year-old original kitchen, and finished our basement (complete with new full bathroom and kitchenette!), and we couldn't have been happier with the work quality and value. Highly recommended!"

"They were great - very responsive. George was out within a couple days to generate a bid for us. We just needed some re-grouting on old tilework done. He truly listened to what we wanted, explained the options, and didn't try to do any hard upselling. Jason and Alex came to perform the work over two days. They respected my schedule needs, starting and finishing work at reasonable times. They did a fantastic job and based on the quality of craftsmanship in the job performed I can tell they really care. There were several places they could have just "done the minimum" and they went well beyond. I'd trust Grout Medic to come work on my house again."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.
