Q: What type of tile cutter is best?

• <div><p>Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.</p></div>

Q: Can I tile over the existing tiles in my bathroom?

• <div><p>Yes, you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">can tile over tile</a>. However, the original tiling job must be clean, flat, and free of damage, such as mold or mildew. Removing existing tiles is time-consuming and expensive, so it might make sense to skip this step.</p><p>Remember that when you tile over an existing layer, your walls or floor will get that much taller, so it might not work, depending on your door height.</p></div>

Q: Can I lay tile directly on a plywood countertop?

• <div><p>You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it&rsquo;s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it&rsquo;s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. </p></div>

Q: What tiles should not be used on a shower floor?

• <div><p>When choosing tiles for a shower floor, avoid highly porous tile materials, like those with a water absorption rating over 7%. Don&rsquo;t use non-vitreous tiles, or tiles fired at low temperatures, because they will absorb more water. If you use a highly porous tile in the shower, the tiles can wear down faster, meaning they&rsquo;ll need to be replaced much sooner. </p></div>

Q: How many shower niches do I need?

• <div><p>The number of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/your-tile-shower-needs-niche.htm">shower niches you need</a> (or want) depends on the size of the shower and how many bathroom products you plan on storing. If you keep it simple with just soap and shampoo, the one shower niche will probably do the trick. But if you&rsquo;re adding scrubs and soaks, you may need to think about installing two or more.</p></div>

"We had a 2 story deck that was rotting and unsafe. I called several contractors and settled on Advanced Construction Concepts due to all of the positive reviews.

"We STRONGLY suggest that people consider other companies for a bath remodel. Our 3-MONTH experience was very stressful. The medicine cabinet was installed too low and we were treated like we were trying to rip them off when we asked for it to be fixed. The shower leaked badly and the tub leaked severely. When the tub was repaired it was placed against the wall and there is noise when getting in and out of the tub. Rylynn refuses to deal with it. The Rylynn rep does not use the word ?sorry.?"

"It took a lot of phone tag to finally get the technician to our house, but once here he was efficient and professional and did an amazing job. The chip was in the edge of a white quartz countertop, very difficult to match perfectly, and the repair is absolutely invisible. Not the lowest bid, but worth the price."
