"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

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

When working on your bathroom floor tiling, you should always tile the floor first and then refit the toilet afterward. This has both practical and visual advantages—the tile will have a better seal, and the installation will look cleaner.

On the other hand, when you try to cut the tiles to fit around the toilet, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. It’s a lot more work, it’s hard to be precise, and mistakes or miscalculations can lead to future moisture damage to the tiling, grout, and subfloor.

The grout shade you choose comes down to personal taste and preference. A darker grout will give you a more dramatic and noticeable contrast with the tile around it; however, lighter grout helps create a more uniform look when blending the colors together. Additionally, a darker grout combined with a patterned tile could be overwhelming to the eye, while lighter grout makes the pattern stand out as the main focus.
