"We're very impressed with Jonathan, Manny and Daniel! Jonathan represents JL Cleaning with great integrity! The crew did excellent work and took on some extra related jobs at our request without batting an eye. Yes, it added reasonable charges, but saved us from the DIY pain. Also, the crew worked together so well. We will definitely be requesting bids from JL Cleaning, LLC on future projects!"

"The Jaxson team, Gerald, and Tanya are fantastic. I used them for three major remodeling projects, two bathrooms and laundry room; replaced entire house floors with new LVP; and a kitchen remodel. They work with your budget, are flexible with schedules, which I appreciate, and provide honest opinions if something will not work or achieve the desired result. They do excellent quality work with no short cuts. They stand behind their work. They may not be the lowest price, but if you are looking for a contractor with integrity and professionalism, who delivers quality results, consider using Jaxson Floor and Remodeling. You wonâ t be disappointed."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.

The difference between floor and wall tiles is that floor tiles generally have higher strength and porosity ratings than wall tiles. Wall tiles are typically weaker and more likely to crack or become damaged under sustained pressure like high foot traffic. 

For this reason, avoid using wall tiles on floors and vice versa.

On average, tiling a bathroom involves about 12 hours of labor, usually spread over two to three days to accommodate prep work and curing times. A professional tiler can often complete the installation in 6 to 8 hours, whereas a DIYer might take 10 to 16 hours. The total project time is influenced by factors like the bathroom layout, tile type, and necessary prep work, such as removing old tile. The process includes specific timelines for different areas; for example, tiling a floor takes about six hours, while a shower area can take six to ten hours. It is essential to allow for adequate curing time—typically 24 hours each—for the mortar, grout, and caulk, which is why the project extends over several days.

While tile is the best option in the bathtub, don’t forget to consider the flooring around the wash station. Moisture-holding carpet is a no-no, but is tile or vinyl better for dogs? Tile flooring is tough, moisture-resistant, cool, and scratch-proof. However, it’s more tricky to install and costs more than vinyl flooring. If you opt for vinyl, select tough luxury vinyl flooring; otherwise, canine claws could quickly damage the surface of standard, budget vinyl.
