"Great. I had this work done just over a year ago (should have submitted review sooner). Estimate. Charlie examined bathroom, had plenty of samples of options to review, and provided firm fixed quote. There were some material issues that I'll note below. At no time did the final cost change. Timeline. Installation began about a month or so after I accepted the quote and paid half down for material. I think Charile was ready in about 2 weeks, but I had business travel. Working together to find a common acceptable period for installation was easy. Installation. The first day Charlie showed up with a crew of 4 to take care of the electrical work (did have another ceiling fan installed) and demolition. Following that, there were 2 full time workers on site. They worked long hours, well over 8 hour days. Normall, the job would have taken about a week. I'll give more detail on the one issue below that drew the task out longer. The guys were good about taking care not to impact the rest of the house (carpet, etc.). After install, they did a good job cleaning up. During the install, there were a few minor options ... how to frame the door, orientation of tile, the color of the tile, etc. The crew provided options and good advice (I'm no kind of interior decorator). The part of the service was excellent. Quality. I have done basic carpentry and electrical work. I believe the quality of the work to be good to excellent, both what you see and what was done "behind the dry wall." The work that you can see is excellent. Material. I was a little worried about the material used for the walls as opposed to tile. I'm pleased to say I'm more than happy with the "acrylic" (I think that's correct) walls as well as base and door. Only issue. The base received was not the correct one. The second base received had a quality issue. They guys pointed this out to me. I'm sure it cost them money out of their pocket / profit to spend the extra time on site. My take away from this was the guys were MY quality advocates and did what was necessary to ensure the highest quality product was used and the job was done right the first time! Things happen. The question is how well does your contractor support you. While I wasn't crazy about the delay (about 3 days, not major for me). I was thrilled the issue was immediately brought to my attention and resolved even though it took extra effort on their part. Overall job outcome. I feel what was quoted was provided. Very satisfied. 1 year review ... I remain satisfied. I have had zero issues. Other than the glass doors (which are famous for requiring cleaning when used for bath doors - this was noted before installation). Is the biggest maintenance job. Caring for the bath itself has required average to minimal effort. Give Dream Bath / Charlie a call before you have your bathroom remodeled! "
"Dearman construction did not disappoint! Very punctual! By far the best customer service and their experience and knowledge of the job requested was outstanding, if you need ANYTHING done from roofing, decking to tile Dearman Construction are the people to go to! Would recommend this business to anyone looking for top notch contractors. Would refer these people to my own family!"
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Like any painted surface, tile paint can peel and chip over time. However, tile paint can become especially susceptible to peeling during periods of high humidity. Other sources of excess moisture will also cause tile paint to peel faster than normal. And if the tiles are in a high-traffic area, like the entryway floor, tile paint will chip and peel faster.
Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.
Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.
Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.
To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.
