Andrea S. says, "When i first found Pedro UDY Construction on Thumbtack, id just come through a hard experiance I have worked with many different contractors, over the last 2 decades, from some who where a bit more expensive to friends dads who just did work on the side to help me out- Id never had a problem! But JUST before finding Pedro id had a major problem- A huge maintenance job (full siding replacement) that another contractor Id hired, did not install the product correctly So i had water pouring into my house in certain places- & id just had an inspection done that said id need to have the entire job redone! It was at this point, that i found Pedro on Thumbtack- I was desperate to begin putting my home back together again, as many rooms had to be ripped down to the studs, because of mold- to remediate the areas. And worse, the back wall of my dining room & my french door area, was leaking now, so badly, that the interior wall was quickly disintegrating, right before my eyes! I was scared to have had such a terrible experiance after never having experienced something like this before, in all my business dealings. So initially i was really carrying some trust issues. I recall that first night looking at contracters on Thumbtack, feeling so unsure, & then i came across Pedros company & began reading his previous customers reviews. Consistently, i noticed people saying several of the same things about Pedro & his work. 1. They commonly spoke of how quickly he responded & came to the jobsite to get them a bid 2. How afforadable he was, but at the same time they were expressing being very happy with his work. In some cases, theyd even gone on to have more work done than initially expected- just because they were so pleased with the work he was doing. & 3 They commonly mentioned how kind he was & that you could see he really cared about making his customers happy- He had a good amount of reviews! And i read through them all! I dont recall finding anything less than happy satisfied customers! One even saying he was now referring Pedro onto his sister! I remember thinking well, i definatley want to contact him, but should probably reach out to at least 2-3 contractors, just to do my due diligence- I think i might have halfheartedly reached out to one other contracter besides Pedro? But i just couldn't get my mind off all his positive reviews! After what id just been through, Pedro, if he truly was the way customers reported, sounded like the breath of fresh air, that could possibly get me through this very difficult situation id found myself in. I reached out to Pedro, explaining my house was literally in pieces & i wasn't even able to live there Exsctly as people had said, Pedro responded almost immediately! This was during the big ice/winter storm we had, but still Pedro showed up the next day! Only the ice had prevented my arrival, so he returned the next day again. Upon meeting Pedro & telling him what id just experienced - i was met with such empathy & kind understanding (of my trust issues!) that he took extra time to see how id feel most comfortable proceeding on the job. I decided id like to start with one room at a time, & just start knocking them out- Pedro had an employee there the next day. Pedro always went out of his way, to check in with me personally, every day. To make sure i was comfortable, happy & had no concerns- I honestly think he's the nicest contractor ive ever worked with. Eventually that back wall door area, met a point of no return It was so bad black mold was growing quickly & it was wet inside, despite my running an industrial dehumidifier day & night So wet now, that i could barely keep the plastic up on the walls to contain the new mold contamination. Pedro & his guys went out of their way- to do whatever was needed- At this point we just decided to tarp the entire backside of the house while we awaited the new french doors arrival. When home depot let me know the doors id orderd before even meeting Pedro, had arrived, he immediatly let me know hed pick them up & bring them over- I was just consistently so impressed with the time care & effort he put into this job He felt like he was taking care of my situation, like i was a family member or sister. Thats the level of attention & care, i felt from Pedro- Within another week i had my official siding report in hand & Pedro had his employees ready that would be needed to install the new French doors & fix/replace the siding on that wall. And the job was started- They worked through the weekend until it was done to perfection- (We found the cause of the leak during this phase! Under my new siding near the bottom of the wall on the right side of the french doors we found a gap about a foot high, where under the siding there was no moisture barrier, & no sheeting! Shocking! But totally explained the amounts of water that had been coming through! In addition it was found, the siding contractor had used the wrong kind of moisture barrier for the product siding, & that alone voids product warranty) After Pedros team was done with my new french doors & had installed the new moisture barrier & siding, i could finally say i had one wall of my home sided correctly & safe from future damage! I felt so grateful to Pedro & his team for this outstanding work! It was immediatley put to the test, as we had a massive downpour the day after it was finished- And its been perfect! But Pedro still went out of his way to make sure i understood he personally warrantied all of his work & if ever an issue- call him & he would be there! I have no doubts if/when i need to call Pedro he will respond swiftly & professionally- It turned out all of his positive reviews, were absolutely accurate! And i learned from my own experiance, they were well earned! I can honestly say, im not sure how i would have made it through that very scary time, without having had Pedros help! I will never forget it & will always be so grateful! In me, Pedro will always have a lifelong customer & supporter of his business. I plan on calling him with any jobs that arise, big or small & can confidently recommend Pedro to others, because of how wonderful he always was! Thank you Pedro! You are such a kind caring soul! And above all, a really hard worker who CARES about the quality of the work you do. Thats not always easy to find anymore! So you have earned all of my respect & gratitude! I wish you & the future of your business all the very best, as you truly do work so hard! Take care my friend & blessings to you & your beautiful family! 🙏🏻 Photos show 1. the previous contractors serious siding defect- that was rapidly damaging my home- a large gap that water was pouring in through, before Pedros team fixed it. 2. All new sheetrock up in my dining room! Progress! Yay! 3. The new French Doors, just installed 4. & 5. Beautiful Herringbone LVP flooring installed in my upstairs bedroom, Love these!"See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Can you tile over tile floors?

Yes, you can lay tile over existing tile floors (or a backsplash). Although it’s generally best to pull up your old flooring, you can simply place tiles on top if your existing floor is in good condition.

Before you start, examine your tiles carefully for mold, cracks or unevenness. Provided none of these is an issue, you can begin laying your new tiles. 

But if this is your first time laying tile — or if you want to ensure that the job is done right — save time by hiring a tiling professional near you

What do you need to lay tile?

If you’re laying a new tile floor, you’ll likely need an assortment of tools and supplies, including (but not limited to):

  • Tile
  • Tile adhesive
  • Tile trim
  • Tile spacers
  • Underlayment
  • Sealer
  • Caulk
  • Level
  • Goggles
  • Gloves
  • Trowel
  • Carpenter’s square
  • Grout
  • Sponge
  • Tape measure
  • Etc.

If you don’t have all of the tools, equipment and skills necessary to lay tile in your home, consider hiring one of the best tile contractors in your area.

How long does it take to lay tile?

Depending on the pro’s expertise, the size of the project and its complexity, the time it takes to lay the tile will vary. For some projects, it may take a few hours to lay tile while others will require several days of work. 

When planning a tiling project for your home, get free estimates from the best tile contractors near you and ask them how long it would take them to complete your job.  

What’s the difference between porcelain and ceramic tile?

Ceramic and porcelain are some of the more popular types of tile, but there are a few differences: 

Porcelain Tile

Ceramic Tile

More durable, have a longer lifespan

Cheaper, easier to install

Better for high-traffic areas

Recommended for interior floors, walls

Slightly more water-resistant

Softer, easier to cut

Consult with a top tile contractor near you and get free estimates on how much installing tile will cost you. 

Does tile flooring increase home value?

Having a tile floor may increase your home’s value, but it might depend on the type of tile you install and the trends in the real estate market.

Chat with your realtor or a real estate expert to figure out what types of home repairs and remodeling projects you should tackle before you put your home on the market. It might make sense to add new tiles when renovating your kitchen or bathroom, for example. 

If you decide to include new tiling in your home remodeling project, contact the best tile installation pros near you to get free estimates.

What is the best tile?

There are many different types of tile to choose from, and they all have unique benefits when it comes to aesthetics, longevity, durability and safety.

Porcelain and ceramic tile are often popular in kitchens and bathrooms because they are water-resistant, making them a go-to choice for floors and backsplashes. Marble tile is also a great choice for kitchen and bathroom floors, and granite tiles are popular for countertops. 

Consult with a tile installation professional to figure out what type of tile you should install in your home.

How can I get my grout clean?

Dirt, mildew and grime can make your grout lines look downright tragic. If you have the ability, DIY tile and grout cleaning is definitely doable. Your main obstacles are time, project size, availability of the right materials and effort. Your first step in tile and grout cleaning is making sure the surface area is cleaned of basic dirt and buildup and wiped down. Be sure not to use a bleach-based cleaning agent, which could react dangerously with the vinegar used in later steps.

Depending on the delicacy of your tile and grout, it may be wise to start with water and friction before proceeding to a cleaning solution. In the shower you can spray the area while brushing gently, or use a spray bottle filled with warm water on countertops or floors. If water won’t do the trick, try a solution of equal parts warm water and white vinegar, and repeat the gentle brushing motion. This combination should begin to lift dirt and grime from the grout. For additional tile and grout cleaning power, baking soda applied directly to grout lines and sprayed with your water vinegar solution can help suds off sticky grime. If your DIY cleaning solutions aren’t doing the trick, store-bought sprays and pastes may have more cleansing power. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and enjoy your sparkling clean grout.

Tile and grout cleaning supplies include:

  • Old standard or electric toothbrush
  • Stiff bristle brush
  • Spray bottle
  • White vinegar
  • Commercial grout cleaner

How much does it cost to clean tile and grout?

The national average cost for tile and grout cleaning ranges from $190 to $250. Pros may charge a flat fee or by the square foot. Rates can vary depending on the type of tile and grout you have (more delicate tiles may mean specialized products or careful handwashing), how dirty your tile and grout are, and what part of the country you are in (regional labor rates and costs to do business affect costs). For example, one floor cleaning company charges 75 cents per square foot for tile and grout cleaning for projects that permit cleaning by machine. Another company may charge $30-$50 per hour for hand-cleaning of tiles. Companies often charge a minimum fee for services to ensure their business expenses are met when they accept a job, no matter how small. In addition, a tile and flooring cleaning professional may charge added fees, such as $25 or more, to move heavy furniture or appliances.

How do professionals clean tile and grout?

If you need tile and grout cleaning and don’t have the time or mobility for scrubbing your entire house on your hands and knees, it’s time to turn to the pros. Tile and grout cleaning professionals have industrial-grade machines designed for the sole task of cleaning the porous materials of grout and tile.

Typically, a cleaning pro will come out to assess the job and provide you with a quote. Often they charge per square foot (for example, 75 cents per square foot), with higher prices or an hourly rate for areas that will need hand cleaning. The national average cost for tile and grout cleaning ranges from $190 to $250.

Once onsite, the pros thoroughly clean the area by wiping or sweeping down and then vacuuming up any dry dirt. Next a chemical tile cleaner is sprayed over the surface, causing dirt to loosen and adhere to the spray; the industry term for this is “suspension.” The pros then clean the floor with professional-strength machines, which often use a combination of steam, brushes and vacuum to loosen, agitate and lift entrenched dirt. Your floor is then rinsed, removing all the spray.

Usually a small room can be cleaned in under an hour. Applying a sealant afterward is recommend and will also affect cost.

Which is better: porcelain or ceramic tile?

Porcelain tiles are more durable and have a longer lifespan than ceramic tile. If you're installing flooring in an area with high traffic or lots of heavy furniture, porcelain tiles will look better for longer. They’re also very easy to clean and maintain. Porcelain is also very water-resistant and can hold up in places like bathrooms and rooms with jacuzzis, hot tubs, or swimming pools. 

But if the cost is your top priority, ceramic tiles are often more affordable. Ceramic tile prices start as low as $0.45 or $0.50 per square foot, and porcelain tile starts at $3 per square foot.
