"Ronald knows his Trade well, is prompt, professional, and communicates well. He installed a very intricate 1 inch multicolored glass tile backsplash in our kitchen. We purchased the tile at Lowe’s. Unknown to us there were reviews stating this pattern was very random. When Ronald returned the next day to apply the grout he changed up some of the colored tiles to make it look appealing. It’s a nice upgrade for our kitchen and it looks like it has always been there."

"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"

"Very quick to respond to quoate request, and installed carpet the next day. Sales team and installers very professional. Cleanup was OK, but they should have swept and vaccumed around the wall basebords to remove loose fibers"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Common problems include cracks, loose tiles, and grout discoloration. Proper maintenance prevents many issues.

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.

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.

Using caulk is one of the simplest and most recommended methods to finish glass tile edges. It creates an elegant seam between the glass tile and the adjacent area, along with a waterproof seal. With this method, you want to use a caulk color that matches the grout and, along with the grout, compliments the tile. Make sure the caulk line is smooth and even. Alternatively, you can use a bullnose or tile trimming to edge, however, that will also require caulk to seal.

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.
