"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.

If the hearth ends against a wall, you can use a tile cutter as you normally would. However, if the edge of your hearth ends with no surface pressing against it,you may want to look into rounded tiles. These give a smooth edge to your hearth and make sure cut edges aren’t visible. You can also see if the tile you have has pieces that have been glazed or rounded on one edge. You’d then cut the tile and place it normally, with the cut edge facing inward. 

How long painted tiles last ultimately comes down to the quality of the paint job and how much wear and tear the tiles get. It’s possible the paint job will only last about six months if the tiles are in a high-traffic area and they weren’t properly cleaned, sanded, and primed prior to painting and sealing. Well-painted tiles in a low-traffic area should last at least a year.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.
