"I couldn’t be more pleased with our tile floors. The team at The Hard Part Tile and Repairs really went above and beyond. The layout and design, the precision and attention to detail as well as the diligence and dedication of the install, specifically in the meticulous and difficult cuts required to finish our job and in such small, tight spaces really showcase both their professionalism and their creative craftsmanship. The team were on-time, communicative, upfront and they kept their word, even when the job was more tough than any of us realised. They worked with us and we felt we were partners in the project the whole way through. They treated our home like theirs and it shows in the floors and we look forward to additional projects upcoming in the near future. Give them a call, you won’t regret it."

"Cory is a true craftsman. His work is excellent! His attention to detail and pursuit of excellence result in a work ethic and level of quality that are not often experienced these days. We're going to hire him again to replace the backsplash in our kitchen. I second everything stated by the others who reviewed Cory and his business. He is just a good guy.... has a can-do, positive attitude and great personality. This is the man you want for any tile installation needs!"

"Javier was great! Very responsive, quickly fit us into his schedule, promptly showed up each day as expected and completed the work in a timely manner! We absolutely love the work he did... actually better than the original job that was completed in our great room! We had asked for 1/16 gaps between our tiles and noticed the original job was about 1/8 gaps... Javier delivered exactly what we expected!!! Would definitely use him again for other tile work!!!"

"The work provided was very meticulous. I got a high end look at a reasonable price. Other bids were much higher. He also provided alternative suggestions in the tile lay out adding to the upscale look of the finished product."

"Paul did a phenomenal job remodeling the master bathroom and building the walk-in in the master bedroom. He also rebuilt my deck with a trellis covering plus building a pergola in my backyard. He also landscaped my front and backyard. He is a master contractor who pays attention to the smallest detail. In fact waiting for him to move back to the Bay Area to remodel my guest bathroom."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Here’s another instance of where the answer is you could, but that doesn’t mean you should. Yes, part of the issue is getting the drywall to stay in place on the tiles, and it’s understandable that screws will crack the tiles and cause them to crumble. That’s why it’s a much better idea to screw drywall into studs, not your porcelain or ceramic tile. But aside from issues with attaching the drywall, it’s also about ensuring a smooth application without trapping moisture inside.

Yes, you can tile over existing shower tiles, but it's better to remove the old tiles first for the best results. Tiling over existing tiles requires a clean, level surface and proper adhesion. If the old tiles are in good condition, you can roughen the surface to improve adhesion. However, removing the old tiles ensures a smoother, longer-lasting finish and prevents potential issues down the line.

Installing kitchen countertop tiles on a mold and moisture-resistant cement backer board is one of the best options. When fitted correctly on top of a plywood base, it’s stable and long-lasting. Old-fashioned cement board is economical, cuts neatly and easily with a circular or jigsaw, and screws into plywood without any difficulty.

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.
