"If you’re thinking about renovating your kitchen — stop searching and call Dorsa and Frank! Working with them (and their incredible team) was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our home. They completely transformed our kitchen, and the entire experience was smooth, stress-free, and even enjoyable! We were both working full-time throughout the project, and they handled absolutely everything. From design ideas to material selection to flawless execution, they took full ownership and made sure every detail was taken care of — all while keeping us updated and involved just enough to feel confident and excited. The final result? Stunning. Functional. Thoughtfully designed. Our kitchen now feels like it belongs in a magazine — and yet it perfectly fits our daily needs and personal style. Dorsa and Frank bring the rare combination of professionalism, creativity, and genuine care. Their team is respectful, skilled, and fast — and the quality of their work speaks for itself. If you’re even thinking about a renovation, trust me: you want these two on your side. We couldn’t recommend them more!"

A straightforward professional installation takes six to eight hours, including setup and cleanup. DIY projects often stretch to 16 hours because homeowners must handle layout, cutting, and grouting on their own. Complex patterns or corrective prep work can add additional time, so always confirm the timeline with your tile contractor before work begins.
Tile professionals start with the shower floor, then move up the walls. Setting the floor first lets the wall tiles overlap the floor tile edges, creating a seamless, watertight joint and a clean visual line. Beginning at the base also establishes level reference points that keep wall rows straight and evenly spaced. Following this order minimizes cuts, speeds installation, and delivers the polished finish most homeowners expect.
The best tiles for a shower floor combine slip resistance with durability. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are popular due to their water resistance and variety of styles. Natural stone offers a unique, textured surface but may require sealing. Choose tiles with a matte finish or textured surface to prevent slipping when wet. Consult a professional tiler to determine the best option for your needs.
Yes, you need to waterproof shower walls before tiling to protect against moisture damage and mold growth. While cement backer boards used behind tiles are water-resistant, they are not entirely waterproof.
Applying a waterproof membrane or sealant over the backer board creates a barrier that prevents water penetration into the wall structure. Proper waterproofing is essential to extend the lifespan of your shower tiles and avoid costly repairs in the future.
