Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Callao, VA

Q: How much does it cost to demo and retile a bathroom?

• <div><p>Tile removal costs about <b>$2 to $7 per square foot</b> unless you do it yourself. When you hire a pro, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tile-installation-cost.htm">tile installation costs</a> $5 to $45 per square foot. Costs vary widely, but they depend on the tile material (custom-made stone tiles cost significantly more than plain ceramic tile), location, and tile size.</p></div>

Q: Does a shower pan go under tile?

• <div><p>Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor. Without the shower pan under your tile, water will seep through the grout and into the flooring. This will eventually lead to mold growth and serious water damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix. </p></div>

Q: How does the cost of porcelain countertops compare to other materials like quartz and granite?

• <div><p>Porcelain is a relatively affordable, mid-range countertop material. It typically costs between $50 to $70 per square foot.</p><p>Compared to quartz, porcelain is slightly more affordable, as quartz generally ranges from $50 to $200 per square foot. However, lower-quality, builder's grade quartz can be similar in price to porcelain.</p><p>Compared to granite, the price can be similar, depending on the quality of the stone. While granite slabs can range from $50 to $200 per square foot, you can find lower-end granite in the same price range as porcelain. High-end granites will cost significantly more.</p><p>Porcelain is generally more expensive than laminate, acrylic, and ceramic, but less expensive than high-end slate, concrete, and marble. A key benefit is that porcelain does not require sealing, which reduces long-term maintenance costs.</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: How many shower niches do I need?

• <div><p>The number of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-tile-shower-needs-niche.htm">shower niches you need</a> (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you&rsquo;re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.</p></div>

"Treated myself to a Big Deal for $99 (6 hrs of cleaning, or 3hrs with 2 people). This is the 2nd time I’ve had someone clean my house, the previous time was also an Angie’s List Big Deal, about 2 years ago. I was so pleased with their services. Paula and her co-worker worked diligently and left my house sparkling. I have a split level home, about 1,500 square feet, occupied by 4 adults and a furry dog. When Paula arrived we discussed my priorities. They were the 3 bathrooms (one was especially in rough shape) and the kitchen. I told her anything else would be bonus as far as I was concerned. They did a great job with the bathrooms and the kitchen, and on top of that vacuumed the living/dining room, hallway & stairs, and mopped the tile floor in my family room. It was so wonderful to have this taken care of before the holiday season."
