"I couldn't be happier with the tile work completed by Diego at my home. He was very professional and showed up each day exactly when he said he would. When he took apart our existing shower floor, everything was rotted, moldy and in pretty bad shape. He cleaned everything out and built a new shower floor from scratch. The original shower pan was not installed correctly and water was able to penetrate the underlying wood. We were lucky we didn't have a leak to the floor below. Diego competently rebuilt the shower properly, rebuilt the saddle under the shower doors with new pieces of marble and tile I had lying around in my basement, installed new tile on the floor and lower shower wall and reinstalled the original shower doors. He even carried the glass shower doors down the stairs and out to the front yard so I could thoroughly clean off the hard water stains and mildew. We love that the shower now looks like one you'd find in a spa--so clean--and the water drains perfectly which will prevent a lot of issues in the future. Diego also replaced a small area of my kitchen backsplash that had been bothering me for years. It was originally installed improperly, so the tiles didn't line up correctly. I chose a beautiful glass tile in a herringbone pattern that happened to be very difficult to install. Diego did an amazing job and proved that he is a true artisan! He even took the time to cut small little triangles from the tiles so the spaces were not too large. The end result is perfect and I love it! I would 100% use Elite Tile for my next tile project and will recommend to my friends."

"Admiration and gratitude are the words that come to mind when thinking about the Dunrite Design Group. The work is of superior quality and very personalized. Even though we realize that our bathroom renovation was a "small" job in comparison to what this company handles, we felt as if our bathroom was all that mattered to owner John Dunrite and his crew. We cannot emphasize enough how accommodating John Dunrite is, paying attention to all details, constantly stopping in to check the work, taking pride in the job, and even meeting us at a tile store to pick out materials. The company's crew followed John's lead with top-notch work. Vijay, manager of the work; George, who tied it all together; and all of the men, went above and beyond to help us through the bathroom renovation process. No request was a problem. Our apartment and building were respected in terms of: cleanliness, noise control, waste removal, adherence to the time that the work was done, and quickness in which the job was completed. The cost charged was beyond reasonable. We look forward to having the Dunrite Design Group return to our home for further renovations and highly recommend this company without reservation. Thank you so much!! Carlos and Susan Miranda"

Choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile depends on your needs. Porcelain tiles offer exceptional durability and are ideal for high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Ceramic tiles are easier to install and provide more design flexibility. Consider your space's function, traffic levels, moisture levels, and your style preferences when making your decision.
To prepare your subfloor for tile installation, your pro will start by ensuring it's level and reinforced. A stable subfloor guarantees lasting performance. Your tiling pro can use fiber cement backboards or high-quality plywood to create a solid base. Proper preparation prevents water damage and cracking, leading to a durable, attractive finish.
Wait 24 to 48 hours after tiling before installing grout. This allows the thin-set adhesive to cure properly, ensuring a strong bond. Grouting too soon can cause misalignment and damage. If there's a delay, you can leave tiles ungrouted temporarily. Keep the surface clean and avoid foot traffic to prevent misalignment or cracking. This keeps your installation intact until you can grout.
you need fewer of them, reducing cuts and grout lines. However, very large tiles require careful handling and precise cutting, which can be complex. Standard sizes like 12x12, 18x18, and 12x24 inches provide a good balance between ease of installation and visual appeal.
