Get matched with top ceramic tile pros in Oakwood, VA

Q: Can you put a new tile floor over an old tile floor?

• <div><p>Yes. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">tile over tile</a> if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it&rsquo;s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor. </p></div>

Q: Do you tile over hot mop?

• <div><p>You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). </p></div>

Q: What is the best base for tile countertops?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What tiles are suitable for a fireplace hearth?

• <div><p>You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn&rsquo;t mean you should. For example, it&rsquo;s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. </p></div>

Q: What are the four basic tools used in tile installation?

• <div><p>There are several tools that you will use together to install tiles. Four of the most basic tools needed in tile installation include a notched trowel for applying tile adhesive, a tile cutter or saw for cutting tiles to size, tile spacers for creating the appropriate amount of space between tiles, and a grout float for applying grout.</p></div>

"Jed with Welcome Home Builders did a good job helping us with the project at our church. He built a wall to divide a large room up for us to make a new space. Then the sheet rock, mud, and paint for the new wall all turned out well. Thankful for the help and work he provided to our church. It is much appreciated."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
