"I reached out to Mitch on Friday, he checked the job and gave a quote on Saturday, and started work Monday. He took our tile and design idea and installed two large walls of backsplash exactly how we wanted. He also provided specific help over and above the standard job with incredible attention to detail. Any future tile or stone work I have, Mitch will be my first call."

"I was very lucky to find out Eagle View Remodeling company's Project Manager, Amir, as my contractor to repair my house floor, destroyed by water leakage. Amir was very professional and knowledgeable. With his help, we chose not an expensive but a good-quality flooring material. And the installation price was below the average price. Besides, Amir dealt with insurance, and the insurance covered all my expenses. If you want a professional and not greedy contractor, I do recommend Amir of Eagle View Remodeling Company.

"Reliable, trustful and will do the extra work to make you 100% satisfied. They did connect my new plumbing shower head and shower door for free. I am a senior citizen and that help me a lot on my budget. They are highly recommended and I will call them again to do the other bathroom to install tile in my home next year. I will do my best to refer them and network them to all my friends because my experienced with them was excellent. Any help that you can extend and hire them is greatly and highly appreciated. Thank you."

"My 23 years old tile roof need to be replaced due to poor quality material used by previous local roofer. After search through 6 estimates, I pick Tony's bid because he listen to my concern and his prices seems fair. Normally roofing job starts in April or May, after the raining season, but our roof was leaking in several spots and Tony and Tino (the roofer) started the project in February. With the wettest raining season in recent memory in LA, it was a challenge to work on roof during the break between rain storms, but Tony and Tino's crew pull through the challenge. During the process, Tino also points out several issues with our chimney and he was able to do a thural repair and painting while he was up on the roof. As with any construction project, we encounter areas that need extra work and Tony was very easy to talk to and we were able to reach a reasonable price for the extra work. The only complaint I have about the whole project is that during the project, the crew allow the dirt got into my gutter and the cleaning process was not as thural as I'll like. Overall, I am very pleased with our roof project with OM Construction. Tony is very responsive during the process and address my concern very quickly. Tino's experience and attention to detail make me feel confident about the quality of our roof job."

"I did a bathroom remodel which included a new vanity, countertop, bathtub, tile, lighting, plumbing, and flooring. Joe and his team did an amazing job. They are reliable, detail oriented, and provide great customer service. The project ended up being a perfect combination of my personal tastes and Joe's professional input. He even custom made a large vanity mirror when I was unable to find one to fit. I would definitely recommend Kincaid Development."

"Store rep was very professional and responsive. He came to my house to measure and provide a quote free of charge and allowed me to borrow sample material from the store. The final quote was a little more than the preliminary estimate based on square footage (when we first visited the store) but it was worth it. It was easy to get an installation appointment and the installers did an extremely thorough and professional job. We were very happy with how the work looked when it was finished."

"Ken and Hugo are fantastic! We have had them remodel our kitchen and two bathrooms, one being the master. Both bathrooms were complete demolition and remodel, and one needed to reroute the existing plumbing. All three remodels turned out amazing! Their tile and granite work are superb. They guided us along on all three projects, offering suggestions and pointing us to the right vendors to get our materials, all of whom made this overwhelmed couple feel very comfortable, and helped with the designs. We are so happy with the results and feel very fortunate to have found them."

"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone are all excellent choices for tiling a shower floor. Some glazed finishes can be slippery when wet. Your tiling contractor can provide more information on which tiles will work best for your shower floor.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.

It’s best to start with tiling the shower floor before moving on to the walls for the most visually-pleasing results. When taking on any tiling project, you’ll want the wall tiles to “sit” neatly on the floor tiles rather than overlapping them. Finishing your floor tiles first will allow you to place your wall tiles without any gaps, holes, or awkward intersections.

Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.

To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.
