"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
Uniform spacing between tiles is important for a professional and clean appearance. To achieve this spacing, tile spacers should be placed between the tiles and left in place until the mortar hardens and the tiles are secure. You can use X-shaped spacers vertically in between the tiles and laid flat at the corners.
Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.
Natural stone tiles are durable, heat-resistant, and add timeless elegance to floors, walls, and countertops.
It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth.
Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
