"Removed and re-installed porcelain tile in kitchen, powder room and pantry. Gustavo was very responsive to calls, e- mails and texts! Tile installers were efficient, friendly, and did an excellent job cleaning up each day. They arrived each day at the same time which was appreciated and worked without breaks! Gustavo helped with tile selection and checked in during the process! I highly recommend Chuyâ s Tile and plan to use them for another project."

"Best builders group recently completed the remodeling of our kitchen and bathrooms at our house. We have been very fascinated with all the high quality and attention to details. Everyone at the team that did the actual work including the designer, electrician, plumber, tile men, cabinet makers and painter was skilled and professional in their field. The whole work was finished on time and within our budget. Very professional and good company to work with!"

"Ken and his staff were fantastic from beginning to end. He made the process so easy and he was always up front and transparent about the service and prices. We had our bathroom remodeled last year and the previous contractor did such a poor job, we had to have new tile installed again. The difference between the two contractors was night and day. We are so happy with how the shower turned out. We would DEFINITELY want to work with him and his company again in future."

"I did a full kitchen remodel. ITM gutted the entire kitchen and reinstalled an upgraded high end cabinet system with beautiful counter tops, tiled back splash and vinyl planks flooring that look just like wood. There recommendations were great and the installers were experts and know what they were doing. The best part about this company is that they kept in contact with us and communicated throughout he entire process. Not like other companies that you have to chase after them. Great people to work with!"

"Before searching through the corners of the internets, we first asked friends for recommendations for potential general contractors, who offered nothing but horror stories! We knew remodeling our kitchen would be a huge financial investment, and we wanted to take our time finding the perfect general contractor who will meet our checklist of needs and realize our vision. We didn't want to suffer the same fate as our friends, so my husband and I decided that we will not commit to any general contractor unless we both felt 100% "**** yes!" about him. 
The process to find a general contractor was mentally draining. It took us weeks, but we knew our patience paid off once we found Pearl Remodeling. From the initial consultation, we bonded immediately with Ben. General contractors have a notorious reputation for being dishonest and shady, but it was clear even from the beginning that Pearl Remodeling was a company we can trust. Throughout the entire process, there were constant emails, texts, and phone calls from Ben He really made sure he kept us in the loop from start to finish and that we were satisfied with every detail of our new kitchen. Even in the middle of night, Ben was quick to respond with my calls and emails.

We had unexpected hiccups during our kitchen remodeling, and for us, this was where Pearl Remodeling established themselves as the cream of the crop in the remodeling industry. As with any renovation project, unexpected surprises come up, but it's how Pearl Remodeling and Ben, handled and rectified the situation that set them apart from the rest of the general contractors in the business. My husband and I initially couldn't agree if we wanted lighting installed under our kitchen cabinets. By the time we both decided that we did want the lighting fixtures, it was too late because the drywall, the cabinets, and the backsplash were already installed. Sensing our frustration and disappointment, Ben suggested a brilliant solution of opening the stucco behind the kitchen cabinets, which allowed his team to arrange all the wiring and under cabinet lighting just the way we wanted. The cherry on top was he provided this additional service at his cost! We were truly impressed!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

You can technically install tile over tile, but we don’t suggest it. Installing tile over any surface that isn’t a completely flat and prepared subfloor will result in a shoddy overall job, uneven flooring, tiles that don’t adhere, extra weight, gaps, cracks, and room for moisture and dirt to enter. For the best results, only install new tile on a flat, sanded surface like subflooring or concrete that is prepared for tile.

If you have asbestos tile and would rather tile over it than remove it, or if your existing tile is completely flat and bonded tightly to the floor, you may be able to tile over existing tile. But experts recommend thinking twice before you do.
