"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."
"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."
"Our experience with Adrian and his crew was excellent. Frankly, we had had trouble finding someone to do this work when HomeAdvisor advised us to reach out to Adrian. He got back to us right away, got us an estimate and got us on his schedule. Considering no one else had even responded, we were amazed by the service we received. We were very impressed by the work the team did. They took care with every aspect of the installation, making sure the tiles were square to each other, getting the grout right, getting the tile right up to the edges of our old laundry room. The room looks much bigger, brighter and frankly just more usable than it did before they did their work. I recommend them highly. Anyone who can get CCR to do their work will be very pleased."
"I was impressed by the amount of thought that went into my small home repair project. He took the time to examine the details and plan the best possible repair. The wall and tile repair exceeded my expectations."

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.
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.
Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.
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.
Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
