"Dave was great! The best communication and transparency I've seen in a long time. Dave explained what he needed to do to install the dryer vent and got right to work...NO wasted time. He installed the vent and made sure it was working properly. The vent looks great! Dave is knowledgable, professional, and a nice person. He also stayed in touch, letting me know how soon he would arrive and when he was on his way. I really appreciated that. We will definitely call him the next time we need a handyman."

"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!!!"

"Excellent job! I would like to thank Shirley and her team at DS Legend Home Builders. They did a fantastic job on our kitchen remodel. She was very patient with our design process and helped us bring it all together. In the end, The quality of the work was great. They cleaned up daily and had excellent communication on who and when the installers would be there. We had weekly walk-throughs to go over things we wanted to tweak, and they were very accommodating. After our final walk-through, Shirley came personally to go over every detail to ensure I was happy. I would like to thank everyone who worked on my project and will definitely be calling them for our next project."

"We needed a glass tile back splash added to our new counter top. We contacted J B Tile & Stone and asked for an estimate. John Brouillette, the owner, promptly arrived at the appointed time and did a careful and extensive review of our needs and the tile required. We made an appointment for the work to be done and he arrived precisely on time and carefully placed drop cloths and masked off counter areas to protect from potential damage. John again engaged us to offer alternative tile placement to ensure we understood our options before beginning to tile. He was meticulous and careful in his work and maintained a great attitude that made us feel at ease and confident in his skill. At all times he was considerate and focused on his work. When he finished the tile installation he cleaned up thoroughly and scheduled for the grout application. Again he arrived precisely on time and got right to work, proceeding carefully to make sure the grout application was perfect. Again he cleaned up thoroughly and left us with a product we are very proud of. I have no reservation hiring John again and highly recommend him. Ellen Freeman"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.

Yes, provided you aren’t installing drywall over it. But you can skim coat it, apply new tile right on top, paint it, or stencil it. For more budget- and DIY-friendly options, you can install beadboard or apply decals. Just make sure that the current tiles are in good condition and prepped well for the paint or adhesive to stick.

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.

The number of boxes of tile you need depends entirely on the amount of tile in each box or case. Different manufacturers package their tiles differently, and boxes contain different amounts of tile depending on the size, shape, and material. Often, the amount of area that a case will cover is listed in the product description. To calculate the number of boxes you need, take the total square feet of the space and divide it by the number of square feet the box will cover.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.
