"We needed to have the grout in our shower replaced and the marble sealed. It was done efficiently and the job turned out great. As long as they were here they sealed the grout on our tile floors and cleaned the tile backsplash in the kitchen and sealed it too. Very happy with Xplosive City Tile and would use them again. Highly recommend."

"Going with a stacked tile backsplash we were very concerned about alignment and precision, which had been an issue with a previous tile contractor. To our delight, Jason's attention to detail was higher than even our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the final result of our tile backsplash, and of all the pieces of our remodel puzzle, the process and experience was the smoothest. We will definitely use him again for future tile projects, and we have already starting recommending him to others."

"Kole took on a very challenging tile job for us. We had started the project ourselves and could not complete the work due to time constraints and condo rules. We ran out of some tile and had too much of other tile. Some of the tile we could not get, so Kole had to do some very creative things to deal with the lack of tile and the abundance. He has also returned to the job to replaced some loose tiles that we installed. Kole does what he says he is going to do and is on time which is very rare in the construction industry."

"We had a large 120 so foot kitchen backsplash floor to ceiling around doors and windows tile job with a very delicate 1-inch diamond shaped penny tile. The tile contractors our general kitchen contractor hires walked off the job and said they couldnâ t work with this tile. Rayo tile saved the day! I got 4 bids that were all pretty close in price. They werenâ t the cheapest but they were the best. Constant communication. Showing up on time. Incredible work and we had a very difficult tile to work with. Cleaned their workspace. These guys are professionals like all contractors should be. Hire them."

"The workmanship was top-notch. Had about 1,000 sqft of Italian tile work done and it was perfect: Furniture moved, removal, tile and molding laid in great symmetry, 1/16 gap even throughout, price reasonable, and clean up was good. Just be patient with how long it will take-- perfection does take time. Now it looks beautiful. Thank you."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.

Natural stone floors, especially pebble-style tiling, are one of the least slippery options for a shower floor. Natural stone has a texture to reduce slickness, and pebble-shaped tiles add more visual and textural contrast while reducing slippage. Vinyl tiles are also designed with anti-slip texture for added safety. If you have a slippery tile, be sure to add a grippy shower mat to reduce the risk of falls.

Yes, tile floor removal is a physically demanding project that takes between eight and 12 hours per 100 square feet. It also requires protective gear and closing the area off with construction-grade plastic sheeting to avoid dust and damage to other parts of your home.

The tile trim you use will depend on a few factors, including design preferences, budget, and whether the project is DIY or not. You might choose plastic trim if you want an easier DIY job that is more budget-friendly. There are also more color options available in plastic. On the other hand, you might choose metal to match your fixtures or for areas with heavy use.
