We are enclosing our lanai and want to install ceramic tile. We have talked to Roberto’s and wondering who else we should get estimates from. We would prefer someone with a showroom so we can see options. Thanks.

I highly recommend FLOORMASTERS on 301 in Wildwood. They have a showroom and will be here in the years to come. They are one of the firms that TV contract with on the new homes. Just my $.02

Be sure that a crack stop or crack suppression product is included in your flooring project. This is a thin (1/32 inch) material, looks a lot like tar paper, it get glued to the concrete, and then the thin set is applied for the tile. When a crack develops in the concrete, it will not (should not) cause the tile above to crack.

I see adds for "Rubber Floor". I have looked it up on you tube and it appears to be a good product. Has anybody here had it done yet? I would like to see a finished project.

Only if the crack suppression material has been installed, if the tile was set directly on the concrete, you will get a crack. My step son has set tile for over 20 years, will not install tile directly on concrete, even if that is what the customer wants.
On a side note, the crack suppression can be as expensive as the tile. Prices vary, but the product that appears to be used in TV recently cost me $125 for 150 square feet, similar product at Lowes and Home depot, was over $400 for the same amount.
