"Martin did a great job installing out kitchen backsplash. Our home is over 100 years old, and as a result there isnt a straight line or 90 degree angle anywhere to be found, making for a very difficult tile job. Martin produced a great end result with straight and even subway tiles. Unless you know where to look, you cannot tell how uneven the walls are underneath the backsplash. Martin had the appropriate concern and attention to detail to get the job done right. He was also responsive and quick to communicate. I would hire him again."

"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."

"Sales explained everything. The job was completed and workmanship excellent! Every day the installer asked if we had any questions, explained what would take place that day. When job was complete did a great clean up. I would recommend Footprints. They said what they would do, they did what they said they would do. Installed tile in two bathrooms. One bathroom also installed tile floor. Tom Savage"

"I loved the enthusiasm they have for what they do. I hired them to tile 3 showers. Everything turned out perfect. Great attention to detail. I kept adding more work onto the list they rocked the back of my bar and even added a trap door to access the drain for our ice machine. Showed up every day and worked full days. Which through my remodel I learned is not a common practice for most contractors now a days. Thank you Chris and Casey!"

"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."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

It’s easiest to start from an edge as it gives you a straight line. A problem may arise if your edge doesn’t line up perfectly, in which case it’s best to start from the center. Some think that starting tile from the center adds a focal point in the center of the hearth. 

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

You should always use caulk instead of grout where the tile meets the wall. This will help your tile installation look great and last a long time. When you accidentally use grout for the corner seams, you end up making the tiles too rigid. So as the wall shifts over time, your tiles have no wiggle room. This can lead to tile damage, which will eventually require you to do at least a partial reinstallation.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

The best paints for shower tiles include epoxy, latex, or acrylic. Ideally, you should look for paints that are waterproof and mildew-resistant if you plan to paint shower or other bathroom tiles. You can even find waterproof paints made specifically for tiled surfaces, which will be the best option for shower tile paint that lasts as long as possible.
