Suggestions are offered to locate best price points for paint, wood and supplies for clean lines and an exciting finish. with a thoughtful review of what is most effective regarding the safety of home and what could potentially be hazardous. I have never found Falcon's suggestions to be anything but outstanding while their respect for our home improvement ideas was always what they worked to accomplish. They are talented. Becca Mick is a wonderful professional to work with and the Owner, Donald Grantham, is A+ in everything with respect to a home from carpentry, to electricity and plumbing, lighting, fixtures, decks, and heating, painting, and appliances Mr. Grantham did a couple times protect us from what may have become overextended and unnecessary interventions going on in the house at the same time he was working. He is always kind, professional, patient, and provides the highest quality work at the most affordable price that is competitive. Many times Falcon performed extra work that had been in need of repair for many months, and without a charge. I highly recommend this Donald Grantham and his group of talented professional people,"

Ceramic Tile questions, answered by experts

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.

The best types of tiles for a shower are ceramic and porcelain tiles. These materials are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for wet environments. Porcelain tiles are slightly more durable than ceramic. Both options come in a wide variety of styles, so you can achieve the perfect look for your bathroom.

The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.

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.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
