"Susana from JCR Tile and Stone responded immediately to my request and came to my house with George the Tile Setter the same day to give me a quote. I wanted to extend my kitchen backsplash to the ceiling to give my kitchen a finished look. A few days later when the glass tile arrived at Arizona Tile, George picked it up, came to my house and professionally installed the tile. It was difficult due to all of the angles and curves but he did a fabulous job and my wife and I are totally happy with the installation and new look for our kitchen. I would highly recommend JCR Tile and Stone for anyone needing tile or stone work."

"I wish there was more stars to give Bernd! He is an absolute pro at tile installation! Bernd tiled our entire condo as well as our outdoor patio space which require quite a bit of leveling. He is thoughtful about design, very detailed, and has a meticulous hand with his cuts. He will be tiling our kitchen backsplash as well when the materials arrive. He's also super pleasant to work with, very communicative, & he is totally fair and honest in pricing. I can't say enough good things about his work ethic, skill and integrity. Hire this man and you will not be disappointed!! He's a rare gem out there, an expert at what he does and a wonderful human!"

"The Empire floor installation crew was fantastic. Everyone in uniform, professional but very friendly. They moved all furniture and put it all back. The tile install was contracted out. Their workmanship was equally excellent. I wish that crew had cleaned up a little better. We had to clean the tiles ourselves when they left. But their craftsmanship was excellent. Every cut is precise and even. Love our new look"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.

No, you don’t technically need a cement backer board for a wall tiling project, but not using it risks disastrous moisture damage. Cement is naturally water-resistant, whereas drywall soaks it in, which can lead to warping or mold growth. Always use a backer board treated with a waterproof membrane for bathrooms and other chronically damp areas to ensure complete tile shower waterproofing.

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

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.

If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
