"I would give them 10 stars if I could. Jeff and his team did our new office in Old City Hall for both carpet and tile. They did a great job laying down several different kinds of carpet tiles, and also traditional tiling. He was fair and transparent in his pricing. Much more so than other commercial installers. Jeff was a great communicator throughout the process. Iâ d work with him again should the opportunity arise."
"After several years the tiles around our gas fireplace had become loose and the grout was crumbling. Five Tiles came to take a look the day after I called, and were able to safely remove the loose tiles and determine and repair the problem with the backing. They gave us a very reasonable price and were able to complete the job quickly. The grout looks amazing! I recommend the high quality work that Five Tiles did for our home!"

For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile.

If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.
Tiling can be DIY with the right tools and skills, but challenges like ensuring evenness and appropriate adhesion often warrant professional handling.
If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward.
Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices.
