"Calling Jimmy at AKA Tile and Stone a tile installer does not do him justice... he is a tile ARTIST! We were so blown away about halfway through this main shower renovation, we added a second bathroom renovation to the mix while he was mobilized. I am an architect and my wife is an interior designer, and we had some initial design ideas. Jimmy was more than patient with us making our final selections, and helped out a lot with design details that we had not considered. He was never pushy or trying to upsell us on anything (in fact he suggested a few cheaper components that ended up saving money in the end). The final result is an absolutely gorgeous shower with amazing attention to detail, perfect fit and finish of all the tile, trim pieces, custom niches, and bench. This was also a custom poured pan, and after 2 months of use, everything is flawless, drains properly, etc. We could not be happier, and look forward to working with AKA again and again!"

"We needed our kitchen backsplash redone. We were I?m pressed with the amount of time that Martin took just to evaluate the job, quality of materials and any possible complexities. He also had to deal with a tile that was ?more absorbent? of the the grout. Martin spent extra time making sure that the work met our expectations. Also, Martin communicated very well about his schedule and was here every morning until the job was finished. I would highly recommend Martin for tile work. Kevin"

"Luke was professional, courteous, on-time, and flexible with scheduling. He mounted and installed two t.v.s along with Sonos sound bars. All work was done without an event. He made sure we were satisfied with the work performed and the set up. His recommendations for equipment were spot on for what we needed. I've already recommended him to other friends."

"Very pleased. Footprints Floors installed two mosaic tile bathroom floors for us (in one they also installed underfloor heating -- kids + cats love it!) and the new floors are fabulous. Travis was our manager and Junior our installer, both were delightful, friendly, great with kids + pets, and super quick to answer my questions. Actually, everyone with whom I dealt at FF were friendly, responsive, helpful. I spoke with many installers and Footprints was by far the most prompt and most professional. Would absolutely recommend."

"The final product was done well and was reasonably priced. However, the time taken to complete the job was not. He told us it would take a day and a half. It was every bit of 3 days. Which greatly hindered the projects we were trying to complete after he was done, before we put our house up for sale. He would leave for hours at a time in the middle of the day. Asked him to do 3 door trims off our deck, he only did 2, but was paid early in the day he did the door trims so we couldnâ t correct it before he was gone. We were worried if we called him back it would be another day delay on deck work we needed to get done. We also asked that he do the trim of the actual deck but he never even touched that paint can. Again didnâ t want to call him back in fear it would take another day and we were running out of time."

"The tile we had installed was done poorly. The boxes said it was not directional tile, but ANYBODY could see that it was after laying it. Especially a so-called professional. So, the "pattern" is all messed up. The carpet was ok, but the installers stayed WAY TOO LATE. They didn't finish until after 9 p.m. They should have come back to finish the next day."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

When tiling over concrete, you should install an anti-fracture membrane after the concrete has been prepared. The anti-fracture membrane acts as a moisture barrier and should be installed to protect the tiles from moisture which helps maintain their integrity. Often, Ditra, a brand name, is used interchangeably with moisture barrier.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.
