"Fantastic; The ceramic tile including ceiling and walls are masterfully done. Even have two niches for shampoo, soap and razor. The new tile is mounted on cement board that was coated with an expandable sealer. (the 30 year old tile was just installed on drywall). A laser was used to insure tile grout lines would be perfectly aligned. William also removed grout from existing floor tile I had put in two years ago and installed matching grout of new wall tiles- the floor looks brand new now! All work professionally done for a beautiful installation. And W Floorings subcontractor measured and installed a new stylish glass shower door. I’m am handicapped and I was so impressed how William insured that the new shower will work and be accessible for me."

"Reached out to Jason for an estimate to install the new marble tile in our remodeled bathroom. When we called we did leave a message and he returned it at the end of the work day which was fine. He explained he was in the middle of a job and gives his current job his uninterrupted and undivided attention until he is done for the day. When he came to give the estimate he was there on time which to me is 10 mins early. Since the first time we met him we liked him. He was able to visually look at the "new" walls that were put up and extras in the shower and knew every imperfection in it just by looking at it. From the not level bench to the slight difference in the edges. To say impressed was an understatement. He backed up his findings by showing us using our own level so we were comfortable with what he was saying. Then he didn't even bat an eye when he was told that it was marble and not your standard 12x12 pieces he would be working with or how my wife wanted it wrapped around the entire shower including the ceiling. He listened and even gave new ideas on how to do something to make it look better. Other estimates were obtained but after a few it was clear we were not impressed with anyone like we were with Jason. No one seemed to have the eye for detail that he did and that is what definitely sold my wife on him so he was hired. A start date was given and he stuck to it and he was there right on time every single day until the job was completed. Once he started, it was clear why he got the reviews his did and his eye for detail is amazing. Every imperfection and flaw in the walls, etc were nothing to him. He knew exactly what to do and still give us the best outcome without ever compromising the quality of the work. The man is amazing at what he does and so worth every single penny he was paid. Using the ideas my wife had and his knowledge and expertise it turned out so much nicer than we would have ever imagined."

Both materials work well, so start by thinking about foot traffic and budget. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it’s ideal for busy entries, kitchens, and baths—even if it costs a little more.
Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut, and comes in a wider range of styles, making it a solid pick for walls or light-use floors. Match the tile’s durability rating to the space, and you’ll get the best balance of looks, performance, and price.
A solid subfloor starts with a flat, crack-free surface. Your installer will level any low spots, reinforce weak areas, and screw down fiber-cement backer board or quality plywood before setting tile.
Skipping this step invites movement, cracked grout, and even water damage—issues that are far pricier than prep work. Hire a pro to get the base right, and your new tile will look sharp and stay put for years.
Give the thin-set 24 to 48 hours to cure before you start grouting. Rushing the process can nudge tiles out of place, weaken the bond, and create cracks you’ll have to fix later. Keep foot traffic off the area until you’re ready to grout, and you’ll lock in a strong, even finish that lasts.
Tile size changes the workload. Large-format pieces mean fewer grout lines and faster coverage, but they’re heavier and need careful handling to avoid breakage and lippage. Small mosaics create intricate looks yet take more time to set and space correctly, so labor costs climb. Weigh your style goals against the extra effort (and budget) each option requires before you decide.
You can leave tiles ungrouted for a short window, but only if the surface stays clean and undisturbed. Once the thin-set cures, finish the job as soon as possible. Grout seals joints against moisture and locks the layout in place; waiting too long invites dirt, water, and movement that can shorten the life of your new surface.
Use at least two millimeter spacers on walls and three millimeter spacers on floors to give grout room to bond and absorb normal expansion. Larger, rustic tiles may call for wider joints, while precision-cut porcelain often looks best with tighter gaps. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and local code, and you’ll end up with an even, long-lasting layout.
