I had my entire house remodeled, and Luis helped me with all the hardwood floors, tile in the Kitchen, bathroom and titled my entire master shower. The shower is by far the WOW piece of the house now. Everyone Loves it! Thanks again Luis for being easy to work with and very helpful through the process!!"

"Genarro and his crew did an absolutely AMAZING job with our large format (4x4) tile installation! This guy is a perfectionist, which is something we certainly appreciated for the tile install. Reworked a few tiles that we thought were fine but were not up to his standards . What can I say - this guy is a lifetime pro, does the job at a very competitive rate and after 2 years of daily use - 0 cracks or defects. Thank you Genarro!!!"

Customers say: True professional

"Going with a stacked tile backsplash we were very concerned about alignment and precision, which had been an issue with a previous tile contractor. To our delight, Jason's attention to detail was higher than even our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the final result of our tile backsplash, and of all the pieces of our remodel puzzle, the process and experience was the smoothest. We will definitely use him again for future tile projects, and we have already starting recommending him to others."

"I really canâ  t say anything negative about the company. After submitting my request with Home Adviser, I was contacted immediately by the owner, Rodney Carrillo, who set up a time, the following day, to look over the job. A contract and bid were sent to my e-mail address later that day. When the project began, they arrived on time, were very neat, polite and knowledgeable about the work. They provided us with a schedule for the following five days. At the end, the tile was laid as you would expect from a professional tile company. Thank you Carrillo Tile, great job."

"The workmanship was top-notch. Had about 1,000 sqft of Italian tile work done and it was perfect: Furniture moved, removal, tile and molding laid in great symmetry, 1/16 gap even throughout, price reasonable, and clean up was good. Just be patient with how long it will take-- perfection does take time. Now it looks beautiful. Thank you."

"Gomez Tile Design is absolutely the best for installing tile. I used to flip properties and thus I have extensive experience working with contractors. I can tell you that with Gomez Tile Design, Samuel and Abel, were always on time, super conscientious, discarded all the waste and left the job super clean. In addition, their workmanship is superior, from the way they layout the tile to the grout lines. I totally recommend them if you are looking for perfection."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.

To make a bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored, medium- to large-format tiles. Light colors such as white, cream, or light gray make a space feel more open, while dark colors, busy patterns, and small tiles can make a bathroom feel smaller. It may seem counterintuitive, but small tiles can shrink a room visually due to the increased number of grout lines. Using medium- to large-format tiles creates a more seamless look. For the best effect, pair your light-colored tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout. This minimizes the grid-like pattern and gives the floor and walls a more continuous, uninterrupted appearance, helping the room feel significantly larger.

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.

Impact, water infiltration, or shifting subfloors often cause damage. Regular inspections help prevent significant issues.
