"We hired Juan for our kitchen backsplash and floor tile installation on our kitchen upgrade project. We ended up hiring him for cabinet, countertop, and range hood installation, too! Juan and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. He was prompt, professional, and an excellent communicator. His work and commitment to getting it right came through every day, and he has a very collaborative style. His advice gave us confidence in the decisions we were making about materials and installation. Because our home is 100 years old and has many quirks, we had a few surprises along the way. Juan didn't hesitate to offer up solutions. (He put in 6 shims to level our window sill! Something we didn't even know we needed). Our kitchen turned out better than we could have imagined, and it's because of Juan's commitment to excellence (and patience with us!) that it turned out so well."

We hired him to install 3 bathroom’s tiles, he’s experienced and thorough from waterproofing, tiling to grouting. We’re very happy with the result. He also kept the job site clean and even helped me with other small job. I highly recommend Oscar."

"Joe did a great job on our half bathroom, installing tile on both the floor and walls. The quality of his work really shows and he treats the project like it’s his own home. We’ll definitely be using him again for our next renovation!"

"Chito and his tile team: Joe and Dung did a great job removing carpet and installing wood look tile on my 3rd floor home. This was my first home project and working with Chito on understanding the process and timeline was a great experience. I'm grateful for Chito and the team answering all my questions throughout the process and I ask a lot of questions. Especially when it came to layout of tile, I even changed my mind and they took it in stride. I would definitely hire them again for future projects and highly recommend. Thank you CA Tile Services!!"

"Brian and his crew are the best tile setters in the bay area. Professional, helpful, on-time, and on-budget every time. He did a custom shower top-to-bottom for us, and worked with us every step of the way to make sure we got the exact design we wanted from the shower pan to the fixture placement to the tile pattern. He gives great advice on projects, and has a huge network of excellent referrals for everything from plumbing to cabinets to shower doors to electrical. This was a huge help to us with a recent kitchen remodel, in addition to the backsplash he did for the remodel. His tile work is top-notch - hands-down the best I've ever seen. His attention to detail is unmatched."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.

Tile countertops can be an excellent and budget-friendly option for a kitchen, provided they are installed correctly. It's important to choose tiles, such as ceramic, that are heat-, water-, and scratch-resistant. When the grout is properly sealed, it will resist stains, making the surface easy to clean. Tile is also considered a sustainable material. For a cohesive kitchen design and added protection, you can pair a tile countertop with a matching tile backsplash.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.
