"Yes, the job was well done and on time. We had a problem with the tile and grout in our walk-in shower. He explained what the problems were with the original installation and then cleaned the tile and replaced the grout. He also installed shower bars which will help us from falling in the shower. We highly recommend this gentleman."
"The PacWest folks did a fine job on our outdoor water feature. It required removing old penny tiles, many of which had come loose, and replacing them with one foot square tiles that matched the backsplash. They accommodated our desire to get the job done promptly and we’re very professional. It was a little more expensive than we might have liked but we knew that in advance and are pleased with the final product."
"Last November we hired Steve and his crew from Steveâ s Home services to do a complete remodel of our main living areas of our home. This included the bathroom, 2nd bathroom, kitchen, family and living room. They installed new wood floors in a lot of areas, tile floor in bathroom, tile inlay in entry, and a pony wall by front entry. Two main walls were removed between the family and living areas. A full kitchen tear out and everything new was installed including the cabinets. They are a wonderful personable group of hard working contractors to work with. Their work is top quality! We had them in our home for about 5 weeks. We didnâ t have to move out because they cleaned up everyday and protected our furniture with coverings. We will hire them again for phase 2 to remodel our master bathroom."

"It went extremely good. After multiple bad experiences with different contractors I found A&C Tile on Angie's list. The job went very good, the price was reasonable, Alex and Cornel did a phenomenal job. Always on time, they worked with the highest level of quality. I would definitely recommend them."
"DJ was prompt in getting out to do a bid when other companies did not. Very flexible on scheduling. Showed up on time and got the job done quickly. The only complaint was the smell but that is part of the process. Should have done more research on Swedish Finish. Quality of the work was outstanding. Floor looks great. "
"I had Seattles Tile Innovations install backsplash (subway tiles) in my newly remodeled kitchen. Ricky, from Seattles Tile Innovations was professional, courteous, friendly and finished the work on time. He provided us with different options in tile and grout and helped us throughout the whole process. We were totally novice when it came to tiling and he walked us through each step and answered all of our questions. I love how meticulous he is and how perfect the tiles (backsplash) ended up looking and his friendliness was surely a bonus. My kitchen looks awesome thanks to him. I will whole heartedly recommend him to my family and friends! Thank you Seattles Tile Innovations!!"
"Disappointed. Sound Tile and Grout was on the pricer side and I definitely did not feel that I received what I paid for. Part of the initial install was done poorly (more joints than necessary, see picture) and required the provider to return to reinstall portions of the tile which I was charged extra for. The provider did not clean up at the end of each day nor was the area thoroughly cleaned after the job was completed. The provider left pieces of tile on our front sidewalk and a track of dirt and debris down our stairwell. Grout haze was also not fully removed. At the end of the day the completed install did turn out well, but I would not recommend this company due to the above concerns."
A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.
Yes, you can tile a shower as a DIY project, and you can save hundreds of dollars in labor costs by doing so. However, you’ll need to rent or buy quite a few tools and supplies for the job, including a saw, tile nippers, and a new shower pan. In terms of the work itself, you should be prepared to tackle a variety of different tasks, including measuring and ordering materials, removing old tile, waterproofing the wall, adding rows of tile, grouting, and more.
Grout and caulk are commonly used together, especially in bathrooms. Grout goes between the tiles and keeps them sturdy and in place on the walls or floor. Caulk goes in corners or where two different materials meet (like where the bathtub meets the tile) to create a waterproof seal. However, they are not interchangeable—you shouldn't use caulk to adhere tile and shouldn’t use mortar if you need a waterproof seal.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
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.
