"This project was for leveling cabinets, for the installation of a quartz countertop and Scott Dougan was perfect for this project! Scott is very efficient, knowledgeable, very professional and prices are reasonable. He responded quickly, was able to provide his services within a reasonable timeframe and completed the task within a few hours. He also followed up with us, after the countertop was installed, to make sure that his work was satisfactory and it was perfect!! Thank you for your services! I would highly recommend Scott for any cabinet projects!!"

"My bathroom was a mess, it needed every surface replaced/refinished. I had a vision of what I wanted and Pasha made very helpful recommendations. DIY offers excellent choices in tile, quartz, granite and marble. The workmanship was excellent in all areas; carpentry, plumbing, electrical, and the tile work was excellent. I'm thrilled with the finished product. Pasha quickly responds to questions and is committed to making his clients happy. I highly recommend DIY."

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.

Your floors should be completely level for tile, otherwise you risk damaging the tiles in the future. When there are even small gaps or hills in the subfloor beneath the tile, this puts more pressure on the tile when you walk around on the floor. With repeated traffic, the tiles are at risk of cracking, and you’ll have to deal with tile repairs sooner than if the floor was completely level.

When cleaning porcelain tiles, avoid products that contain ammonia, bleach, and other harsh chemicals. Acid-based cleansers can damage the tile, though you can clean them with a diluted mixture of one-quarter cup white vinegar mixed with one gallon of hot water. It is important always to use a soft-bristled brush or sponge, since hard bristles and steel wool can scratch the tile.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.
