"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!"

"Did a great job, floors came out great.Were very accommodating when we had to reschedule several times. My only quibble was that at the very end there were a lot of handprints on doorknobs, etc. Would recommend them though"

"William Kopp from Epic Tile did an excellent job redoing our bathroom floor. He was punctual, professional, and meticulous in his work. His pricing was fair, and the quality of his craftsmanship exceeded our expectations. He kept the workspace neat and tidy, cleaning up thoroughly afterward. We highly recommend Billy from Epic Tile for anyone looking for quality work at a reasonable price!"

"Michael's bid was very thorough and professionally done and the price seemed very reasonable. He arrived on time and did not waste any time. He worked well with us on a couple of adjustments during the job - and even did a little extra to help us out. He was very careful and thorough in his work -- and cleaned up the site very neatly."

"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!!!"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

Terracotta tile is a broad term for clay tile that’s been fired in a kiln, and Saltillo tile is a specific type of terracotta tile produced in Saltillo, Mexico. In addition to Saltillo, terracotta tile comes in a range of other shades and styles. You’ll often find it used in buildings throughout Mexico, southern Europe, and the western United States.

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.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.
