"Hector was a joy to work with. He ably guided in pick the best tile (we made him order multiple samples) and patiently humored our pickiness, even coming by several times to talk over the best options, before we’d even signed! Throughout the demo, install, and cleanup, he and his small crew was professional and considerate of our family. We even added some work mid-project, and he transparently let us know that would be extra hours, but I’m so glad we did. It looks fantastic."

"I wanted the tile laid a certain way, they wouldn't do it- claiming it would void the warranty (?). I challenged that, then they told me there were not enough tiles and it would take a week to get more. I showed them the pattern would work. They said to call my salesman, which I did and he was less than receiving who said he would have his supervisor call me- who never did. Because I had an out of town guest coming, I gave in. Tile looks good, but it wasn't what I wanted."

"He did a very good job.  Be prepared for all of the extra's they will ask for beyond the initial deal.  I will say we have a lot more airflow going through our heater now and the dryer really needed it.  We had two cancellations before they came on the last time.

"Carlos not only removed old carpet but repaired cracks in cement underflooring then did a beautiful job installing the new vinyl plank flooring. And went out of his way to pick up the new flooring and baseboards. Carlos goes out of his way to ensure the job is well done and his customers are happy from start to finish.

Absolute Kitchen & Bath (Tile & Stone) was there for us every step of what turned out to be a much more complicated project than expected--due to water damage detected during the renovation.  To accommodate our emergent needs, Chris adjusted the schedule of his crew of professionals on several occasions.  I believe it is usually the other way around! 


 The end result is beautiful.  The tile "art" in the bathrooms look exactly like the magazine photo I showed Chris.  Actually--better.  Chris and team put in a fixture ordered from Europe (required special tools) which took them hours longer than expected to install (no extra charge).  As for the kitchen--gorgeous work.  We replaced old tile with Silestone--Chris made sure to bolster our cabinets so we could save the expense of replacing.  So patient with us--we must have changed our minds ten times on the material for the backsplash edging.  We basically have a new home--updated and beautiful.  Workmanship = A+.  Professionalism = A+.  Trustworthy =  felt completely comfortable leaving our home to Chris and team while we were not there (most of the time). 

Highly Recommend!!!

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Travertine is a natural stone, while porcelain is ceramic. You can enjoy the best of both worlds with porcelain travertine tiles. Some people prefer porcelain to travertine because it doesn’t require regular maintenance and it’s easier to clean. Porcelain travertine looks like the real thing but only costs $3 to $6 per square foot.

There are a few different tools you can use to score tiles. Manual tile cutters or tile scribes work well for scoring in straight lines. Tile nippers are one of the best options for scoring because they can make small and irregular cuts that larger tools may not be able to handle.

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

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.
