"Ancelmo Molina of CM Tile was prompt, efficient, communicative and affordable. We had a small job, too small for some contractors, but Ancelmo jumped right in (on a national holiday!) and he completed the project in one morning. Good work at a good price - I recommend CM Tile, it was a positive experience for us, Chris D. Springfield, VA 22150"
"After moving into our new house, my wife wanted a new look to the dated kitchen, so I decided that after work and on weekends, I would sand, stain, and refinish the cabinets. After several dozen hours of work, regret set in as blisters formed on my fingers from the sanding and the stain wasn't giving me a uniform color. I then contacted Pyramid Granite. The Pyramid Granite team was great! They patiently talked us through options and worked with us to get an amazingly beautiful kitchen that regularly receives compliments from family and friends."
"Looney's is fantastic. I originally had them out to repair some tile in a bathroom. I was so impressed with their service and knowledge that we called them back when it was time to do our mudroom. What an outstanding team. They checked with us throughout the project. The finished project is excellent. Would rehire in a heartbeat."
"J&M was very helpful with the bathroom Tile work design including the Shower, Floors and Wainscot. They were very fast, courteous, and clean. The project turned out spectacular and we were very happy. I would highly recommend their professional work."
"Grout Masters can do more than grout. They removed shower doors, repaired damaged wood, saved and re-used tiles for the repair area and re-tiled the shower floor for us. They installed shower shelves and caulked everywhere needed in the bathroom. They were super knowledgeable about the process and materials. We are so happy with their work!"
"We used Samâ s Home Improvement to create our backsplash. He had a good price, and we were very impressed with his subcontractor, Luis Quispe, who actually did the tile work. He understood our plans, gave some suggestions, and was flexible with changes. The end result is fabulous."

If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
Altering the layout of your bathroom will make a big difference as moving or adding plumbing quickly inflates your total bill. While you can recoup more of your cost (in home value terms) by adding a bathroom, rearranging the layout won’t affect your home’s sticker value. However, strategic placements that allow more light or better flow may increase buyer interest.
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.
Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
