We hired him to install 3 bathroom’s tiles, he’s experienced and thorough from waterproofing, tiling to grouting. We’re very happy with the result. He also kept the job site clean and even helped me with other small job. I highly recommend Oscar."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Juan made sure I was happy with the way the install went as the two projects were being completed. Juan installed tile in the master bathroom floor and completed a project we had started with another contractor for our entry closet floor. He went the extra mile and went to Oakland to pick up grout that was not available in Antioch. I will recommend Juan to my friends and family."

"Victor did an amazing job installing the backsplash in my kitchen, he was very professional, clean, and kept me updated on the process of when the tile would arrive and what paint in the project they had finished. I highly recommended and will definitely be using him again in the future."

"I am absolutely thrilled that everything on my list was done in one day by Carlos and his helper Reese.  I will definitely be contacting him for future work in my home.
The professionalism, thoroughness, promptness, courtesy, gets highest accolades from me.  There are not praises high enough for Carlos and his company.  I rate Carlos a 10+ and recommend him without reservation.

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

When considering the types of grout for your project, unsanded grout is the best choice for penny tile. Unsanded grout can fit better into narrow spaces, like those between the small penny tiles, and it’s easier to smooth out for a seamless finish. However, if you’re unsure, check with a tile installation pro to determine which grout is best for your specific project.

Grout lines should typically be between 1/8 to 3/16 inch thick. This ensures enough room for the grout to dry properly and makes them wide enough to look clean and professional. If grout lines are too small, it can be easier to see imperfections in the spacing. 

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

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.

Whether you want to match your tile trim with grout comes down to your personal preferences. If you match the two, it can help your tiles to stand out while providing a clean, cohesive look. On the other hand, you might opt to match your tile trim with your tiles. The best option will depend largely on your tile design, as well as how it fits overall with the rest of your room.
