Hello, I am a self employed contractor with over 2 decades of experience in Interior remodeling. Some of my specialties include tile work, plumbing, electrical, sheetrock work, and paint jobs.
"Joaquin is amazing! We remodeled two bathrooms, a wash room, and installed a new closet in our attic. All work was done on time and within budget. The quality of the work and craftsmanship was excellent in all the different types of work that he did, including floor tile work, shower slab hanging, vanity countertop and sink installation, sheet rock replacement, plastering, plumbing, and electrical work. Joaquin always double checked everything to make sure it was done correctly. Joaquin was always willing to listen to our suggestions and collaborate with us on what we wanted done. He even went out of his way to help us on several other minor tasks, such as hanging mirrors. We also hired Joaquin to cut & trim our kitchen counter in order to make space for a new stove we were installing. We have already recommended Joaquin to three of our friends."

Local company with over 18 years of experience. Owner onsite for every project from start to finish, making your tile dreams come true is our goal .
"Juan did a complete remodel of one of our baths. It was a half bath and now we added a shower. He was professional, on time, and kept us up to date on the progress. He communicated clearly and if there were any changes along the way he made sure we were aware of what needed to be done and why. He did an excellent job and turned a dull old bath into a sleek/modern luxury bath. The space was small so he helped me realize my vision of what I wanted the bathroom to be. It is now my favorite bathroom in the house. I highly recommend Juan! I will definitely be working with him in future home projects. Thank you!"

FAQs for tile: ceramic and porcelain installation projects in Los Altos, CA
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.
