"I'm so pleased I selected Bill Morin to perform my bathroom tile project. A dripping shower faucet (in a house built in the 1960s) had caused serious damage to the bathroom floor, to the point it was dangerous to walk on. The shower itself was showing its age, and once demolition began, Bill realized he literally had his work cut out for him, since the wood had badly rotted in several places. After suggesting I have a termite inspection (thankfully, that wasn't an issue), Bill continued tearing apart the shower and wall tile. He installed a new shower light, along with new sheet rock and floor trim. Bill meticulously laid and grouted the beautiful new tile on the shower walls, floor, curb and outer floor. He also replaced the shower valve and faucet, installed a new sub floor, and made helpful suggestions when I needed advice. When I asked for a couple of minor changes, he made them immediately,without demanding additional money. He arrived each day on time, and always made a point of cleaning up after a long day's work.Bill even corrected a couple of issues in other rooms, simply because he saw there was a problem and wanted to "make things right" (who does that?) Early on, I knew I was dealing with a true professional, who came to do a job, and do it well. Even when Bill encountered an unexpected obstacle, he took it in stride, and managed to joke and make me laugh during an understandably stressful time. Finally, when I realized there was a minor plumbing adjustment that needed to be made days after the job was completed, Bill drove more than an hour from his house to mine on a Saturday morning to address the matter. If you need a tile project performed, Bill is definitely the man to call."

"I had both an underlayment and LVP flooring installed on 24 June 2026. Emmanuel did not charge extra for installing the underlayment. The gentleman who installed the flooring arrived on time and completed the job by himself. The job was done professionally. I am very pleased with my flooring."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When choosing between porcelain and ceramic tile, the best option depends on your specific needs, budget, and project application. Porcelain tile is generally more durable, denser, and harder than ceramic, making it a good choice for busy, high-traffic areas. It also offers superior moisture resistance, making it ideal for moisture-retaining spaces. However, porcelain is typically more expensive, and its hardness can make it brittle, potentially causing it to crack if a heavy object is dropped on it. In contrast, ceramic tile is a more budget-friendly option with lower material and installation costs. It is softer and easier to work with, making it a great choice for DIY projects. While not as durable as porcelain, ceramic is still a quality material suitable for many home applications, particularly small, decorative projects.

Yes, you can use paint if you want to refresh your tile countertops. However, you must be mindful of the type of paint you use. Look for options explicitly created for tile that are also waterproof and durable. Over time, the paint will chip, so this is not considered a long-term solution for busy kitchens.

It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.
