"We hired Juan for our kitchen backsplash and floor tile installation on our kitchen upgrade project. We ended up hiring him for cabinet, countertop, and range hood installation, too! Juan and his team were absolutely wonderful to work with. He was prompt, professional, and an excellent communicator. His work and commitment to getting it right came through every day, and he has a very collaborative style. His advice gave us confidence in the decisions we were making about materials and installation. Because our home is 100 years old and has many quirks, we had a few surprises along the way. Juan didn't hesitate to offer up solutions. (He put in 6 shims to level our window sill! Something we didn't even know we needed). Our kitchen turned out better than we could have imagined, and it's because of Juan's commitment to excellence (and patience with us!) that it turned out so well."

"I highly recommend calling this tile contractor. He was able to give a bid over the phone and that's what it cost and it was significantly lower than some of the other contractors. His work was excellent. He was fast and efficient and his expertise was evident in a perfect job well done"

"The porcelain tile installation turned out better than we hoped. Their workers adapted to the change that proved necessary (we tried to remove the previous tile and cement board underlayment ourselves). They also disposed of the tile we removed. The new floor is a joy to behold."

"Brother and Brother Builders is an unusually fine firm and deserves consideration for anyone contemplating remodeling. After interviewing many competitors, we selected Brother and Brother for our extensive and full makeover that included room additions, building a 700 SF covered deck, the removal of a fireplace and opening of the entire house. None of the existing rooms was untouched. In every stage of the work, Ray was an incredible project manager, from many versions of the planning, to explaining what to expect, to selecting materials, to obtaining permits, and even moving belongings, he was instrumental and greatly eased a very difficult process. He was a fine communicator and we were rarely surprised. Ray employs a small number of work groups with whom he’s been associated for many years. Together, they routinely brought projects to completion on time, or even early. The skill of his craftsmen ranges to drafting, demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, tiling, cabinetry, flooring, roofing, installation of appliances, and much more. Ray designed a plan that even allowed our family to reside in the house during construction by sectioning off parts of it in succession; i.e.—living in the back of the house while the kitchen/living area was transformed and moving to the front while the new bedrooms/bathroom were being built. Ray even assisted in obtaining other contractors’ services, such as HVAC and installation of a full solar energy system. The end product is a high quality, essentially new house that could not be had by purchasing new construction. Since we’ve had the original house for more than 20 years, it also compares very favorably with new construction from the standpoint of property taxes, even though the quality is much higher. I rarely bother to write reviews, but five stars all around to Brother and Brother Builders!"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can install a backsplash directly onto drywall, provided the wall is properly prepped, clean, and dry. For best results, especially in kitchen areas, your walls should be made of moisture-resistant drywall, often called green board. If your current wall isn't moisture-resistant, it's recommended to replace it before installing the backsplash. For even greater protection against water damage, you can remove the existing drywall and install a tile backer board or cement board instead. While properly installed standard drywall is typically strong enough to support a backsplash, some local building codes may require water-resistant materials in kitchen areas, so it's a good idea to check.

Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

Yes, cracked tiles allow water to seep through the substrate or subfloor, leading to mold and mildew growth. It can also cause severe structural damage. At the very least, water damage can cause your tile to lift from the substrate, meaning one cracked tile can lead to several cracked tiles. It’s a good idea to waterproof tile in areas with direct water exposure or lots of moisture.

It’s not necessarily normal for tiles to lift, although it’s one of the common issues people may have with their tile flooring. Tiles correctly installed by pros with expansion joints should not lift over time. However, if the installation was done poorly, you might see tiles tenting or lifting as the house settles. This is more common in high-moisture areas with extreme temperatures.
