"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."
"This service was for install of bath surround in glass subway tile with shower box, which included demolition of the old bath tile surround. The workmanship is beautiful, the professionalism is great, and all work was performed to the agreed schedule. There were no surprises."
"I cannot say enough good things about Jeramie and Tile Decor! We had a shower tiled and frameless shower doors installed and they turned out amazing! Jeramie was very transparent in all stages of the installation and finished the job ahead of schedule."
"We had a great experience working with Senti Tiles. Unbeknownst to us we chose a very difficult tile to install. He did a beautiful, meticulous job placing every tiny tile perfectly. He protected all surfaces and cleaned up as if he had never been there. He consulted us on all the decision points and shared his expertise freely. We highly recommend Senti Tiles."
"We needed to re-grout our shower. They were a little higher priced than other bids, but had great reviews, so figured was worth the cost. It was. They were quick to schedule, quick to do the work. The work looks great and there was a minor imperfection that I sent them the day after. They were back withing 24 hours to fix it. I recommend."
"I originally hired the company to just tile Lai stand up bath but after seeing the excellent work I also asked them to tile my fireplace. I was so happy with both services and highly recommend them to anyone that needs tile work."
"He did a great job in installing the sub floor in one of our two bathrooms and also designing the showers and flooring and toilet in another bathroom. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get their home redone and will definitely be using him again!"
"A plus plus rating for bathroom tile remodel. They went above and beyond in quality service and timing. I've never provided a service rating before but these guys went above and beyond."
"Vasiliy handled the demo, wall prep, and tile for my bathtub/ shower area and did an awesome job. He showed up when he said he would, worked quickly AND carefully, and was a pleasure to have in my home. (He was even nice to my "helpful" dog!) I'm likely moving in the next year and my first call for any construction/ remodel needs will definitely be VNV and Vasiliy!"
"What an awesome experience this was! We had a very tight timeline (1 week) and they were able to get it done. From the initial call to job completion it was maybe 5 days. Martin was quick to response and very helpful with all of our questions. Alex was the employee who was laying the tile. He was quick, professional and clean. Alex is a true craftsman! The tile work was 10x better than we were expecting. Even with our dog bugging him every now and then, he would give him a quick pet and continue to work. I would highly recommend VM Designs LLC to do your tile work."
Many homeowners have successfully retiled a bathroom themselves. It can be a challenging but rewarding process, but it’s best for someone who already has at least intermediate DIY skills.
It’s not a good idea to lay tile and grout on the same day. The adhesive or thin-set that sticks the tiles to the surface needs plenty of time to dry before you can grout. Wait for 24 to 48 hours, depending on moisture levels in the space. The tiles can become misaligned and more prone to damage if you don’t wait.
Tile will almost always last longer than laminate flooring, regardless of the type of tile installed. Porcelain tile can last for 75 years or more with proper care, and even less durable ceramic tile will last for 60 years or more, provided they’re installed by a tile professional. On the other hand, laminate flooring has an average lifespan of around 20 years, and you might only get 10 to 15 years out of low-cost laminate flooring. As such, tile will add far more value to your home than laminate.
Porcelain countertops have a fairly long life span, sometimes lasting for decades. Depending on how much wear and tear you put your countertops through, it could last 25 to 50 years. But be warned, porcelain is also prone to cracking, so as long as you take good care of it, you’ll have those countertops looking brand new for years to come.
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).
