"Scott was very prompt with a visit and provided a comprehensive quote the same day. His enthusiasm for his work and love of fine wood work was very evident. He began our project on a Saturday, with a helper he sanded both rooms and applied the first coat of finish the same day. He finished up the following Monday. Very conscientious about cleanliness and keeping dust to a minimum. Repeatedly apologized about the noise, which was unavoidable. Scott is also a very nice guy, very smart and a good conversationalist. I'm very pleased with the final result and would recommend Scott to anyone."

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 San Francisco, CA

Labor costs for ceramic tile installation range from $3 to $15 per square foot, varying based on your location and project complexity. Basic grid patterns on well-prepared surfaces fall toward the lower end of this range, while intricate designs or installations requiring extensive preparation command premium rates. Most professionals calculate charges based on square footage rather than hourly rates, with labor representing 60 to 70% of the total project cost.

For a 1000-square-foot ceramic tile installation, expect to pay between $12,000 and $45,000 total, though most standard residential projects trend toward the lower half of this range. This breaks down to $12 to $45 per square foot for materials and labor combined. Projects of this magnitude often qualify for volume discounts, potentially reducing your per-square-foot cost, especially when using standard tile types and straightforward installation patterns.

Tile installation requires significant expertise, specialized tools, and meticulous attention to detail throughout multiple labor-intensive stages. Professionals must properly prepare surfaces, apply appropriate adhesives, precisely cut and place each tile, and finish with proper grouting and sealing. The process involves critical waiting periods between steps for proper curing. Improper installation can lead to expensive problems, including water damage, cracked tiles, and mold growth, making professional expertise particularly valuable.

The 3/4/5 rule uses basic geometry to ensure tile layouts begin with perfectly square corners. Installers measure three feet along one wall and four feet along the perpendicular wall, then verify that the diagonal between these points measures exactly five feet. This triangulation technique, based on the Pythagorean theorem, confirms right angles and helps prevent alignment problems that would become increasingly noticeable as installation progresses across the room.
