My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Advice for putting tile over tile?

6 years ago

I would like to update this fireplace in the most affordable and fast way. Would like it to be a DIY project. I plan to remove and replace the mantle. I have read that you can easily put tile over top of tile, and I thought that would work well here. Has anyone ever done this? Any advice?
