"Luis and his guys are awesome! The work was done on time and looks better than I expected! 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!!!"

"David and his son Joey did an outstanding job with this tile installation. It was a small project, but we really got great value for the money. They were always on time and it was a fantastic job. We would recommend them to anybody."

"Excellently!! John was able to come to the house to assess the project, timeline, and cost. He and his partner started right away due to a delay in another customer being able to get their product. Demo of current floor tile took a half-day. New floor tile was installed on day 2, and grout on day 3!! The cost was originally $100 higher than the previous estimate by another company. John compromised and gave a $50 discount, which I accepted. The two men worked as a team, were courteous, pleasant, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and I was very, very satisfied with the install results, time spent, and cleanup! I would call upon JB Tile and Stone, in Lemon Grove, in the future."

"Mike and Ramon were great! They were punctual, showed up when they say they will show up. The porcelain tile install was done professionally. My kitchen looks great. They put in 3 transition strips and they were seamless and were done nicely. Before leaving Mike did a final check of every corners making sure the baseboard and transition strips were done correctly. They cleaned up really good too. I highly recommend them."

"Refined remodeled my bathroom, removing the old fiberglass tube and shower and replacing with a stunning tile shower with glass doors. Jorge and Sal were an amazing team to work with on this project. They were always prompt, professional and communicative. The vertical tile work was exceptional."

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Installations typically take 1-3 days, depending on area size; repairs are usually completed sooner if the issue is localized.

The tile spacing you should use will depend on the tile and where you’re installing it. Choosing the right tile spacers to maintain a consistent gap between your tiles is tricky. Generally, tile spacing shouldn’t be less than 2 millimeters on walls and 3 millimeters on floors because of stress relief requirements. Getting it wrong can result in uneven tiles and early repairs.

Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Common problems include cracks, loose tiles, and grout discoloration. Proper maintenance prevents many issues.
