"Luis and his guys are awesome! The work was done on time and looks better than I expected! I had my entire house remodeled, and Luis helped me with all the hardwood floors, tile in the Kitchen, bathroom and titled my entire master shower. The shower is by far the WOW piece of the house now. Everyone Loves it! Thanks again Luis for being easy to work with and very helpful through the process!!"

"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."

"Kendall is great. He’s detail oriented and knows his trade well. They tiled my kitchen floor and stove backsplash. The floor looks amazing. We really love it! They created a clean transition between existing wood floor to new kitchen tile. His guys did my backsplash, which is nice too, but the grout line along the edge is not straight, and there’s a tile that is noticeably not aligned with the others. That’s bothersome. His guys did clean up after the end of day, which is nice. The end of project clean up was fine but I still needed to do a lot afterward."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can tile over existing tiles in a bathroom, but it is not always recommended. For this method to be successful, the original tile surface must be clean, flat, and free of damage such as cracks, unevenness, mold, or mildew. While tiling over existing tiles can save time and money, there are potential drawbacks. The new adhesive may not bond properly, and the process adds extra weight to the wall or floor. Additionally, the increased height of the surface could interfere with door clearances. For the best and most durable results, removing the old tiles before installing new ones is generally the better option.

Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor. 

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.

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.

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space.
