"We hired Juan for our kitchen backsplash and floor tile installation on our kitchen upgrade project. We ended up hiring him for cabinet, countertop, and range hood installation, too! Juan and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. He was prompt, professional, and an excellent communicator. His work and commitment to getting it right came through every day, and he has a very collaborative style. His advice gave us confidence in the decisions we were making about materials and installation. Because our home is 100 years old and has many quirks, we had a few surprises along the way. Juan didn't hesitate to offer up solutions. (He put in 6 shims to level our window sill! Something we didn't even know we needed). Our kitchen turned out better than we could have imagined, and it's because of Juan's commitment to excellence (and patience with us!) that it turned out so well."

"From the moment that S&L Remodeling came to our home, we felt comfortable with their estimates and suggestions for our master bathroom remodel. And decided to give them a try! They worked with us in making our dream bathroom come true and offered great recommendations on tile, flooring, and vanity choices. We were quoted a 4-week project, and they got it done in 2! And the best part? The previous homeowners hired cheap contractors and we found many hidden no-nos that S&L fixed. They did not skip corners - and gave quality work from start to finish. From the tiling to the vanity installation, everything was beautifully done. We really enjoyed working with Al and the S&L crew and amazed at what they accomplished and love how our Master bathroom turned out. Looking forward to working on remodeling our 2nd bathroom and kitchen in the future with them"

"Perfectly! Roger is very easy to work with and completely open to the requests and ideas of the clients. The job was bid accurately and completed in a competent and timely manner. His carpenters are exceptionally skilled and in addition have very good taste in terms of how things should be done to bring about the desired effect. This job consisted of removal of old tile, tearing out carpeting, redoing a shower, and installing large carrara marble tiles with heat under them. They installed a free standing stone tub as well. All perfectly executed and artistically installed. My wife and I could not be more pleased with the result. It was a pleasure to work with Roger and his crew and he is definitely on my "will call again list" for any future work. We cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Couldn?t be happier with how our kitchen turned out! Zamir and his crew replaced our countertops, gave the backsplash a fresh new look, and completely renewed the flooring. The quality of work was exceptional, and they made sure everything was done right and on time. The space feels totally refreshed and way more functional. Big thanks to the team. Highly recommend!"

"Our bathroom looks like a spa now! The remodel included new tile, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity, and everything was done on schedule and within budget. The crew was respectful and always cleaned up at the end of each day. We couldn’t be happier."

"Due to an old shower valve and failing galvanized pipe behind existing shower tile, we had an ongoing leak issue. We were very pleased when Redo House assessed the situation and told us that the leak could be fixed and the tile could removed and reinstalled after another provider had told us the tile was not salvageable. We were impressed that their team went into the crawl space under the house and confirmed there was not water damage and provided photo evidence-all as part of the initial free estimate process. On the scheduled day, the team replaced the faulty valve, pipe (with copper), and re-installed the existing tile. You can virtually not tell that the tile was removed--very clean work. They also cleaned up some of the other tile that had mold growth and re-caulked areas where the glass wall was leaking and not sealed correctly with the floor pan. Our "like new" shower now works beautifully!"

Customers say: True professional

"Oscar and his crew are fantastic! He is an excellent communicator and responds questions and requests timely. (If you have done any project with contractors you know what I am talking about-they “choose” when and what to respond and it can be very frustrating). His crews are professional and experienced. We used hand made tiles in our shower area which required special installation and they did a beautiful job. We really liked how our bathroom turns out and decide to use Oscar and his crew to do more remodel work around our house."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.

Replacing tile flooring can take a few days for a pro, but larger rooms will need more time. It takes eight to 12 hours for a tiling pro to remove old grout and tiles across 100 square feet. Then, it will take about four hours to prep the subfloor for tiles and another eight to 10 hours for a pro to install new tiles. Your tiling project may take up to a week, depending on the size of the room.

Figure out how much tile you need by measuring the backsplash area. Measure the height and length in feet and multiply to get the square footage. Don’t make adjustments for outlets or small cutouts but subtract the square footage for windows or other large obstructions from the total. To account for waste, get 10% more than your calculation.

Tile—specifically smaller, mosaic-style tiles—is the best type of flooring for building a walk-in shower base. Shower pans come with a threshold and sidewalls to contain the water, but tile can be set into the shower base. This creates a walk-in shower floor that gently slopes toward the drain to keep water from getting out and into the rest of the bathroom.
