"I’m very happy I chose Fran to install my kitchen tile backsplash. He was prompt in coming to look at the job and provided a quote the very next day. Fran shared pictures and ideas to help me decide which tiles would look and work best—no pressure at all, just helpful guidance. Fran and his helper James were prompt, professional, and a pleasure to have working in my home. The backsplash came out great, and Fran left the area spotless—like he was never even there. Fran is a great guy who does excellent work. I’d gladly recommend him to anyone looking for tile installation services!"

"I was very impressed with David's responsiveness and every member of his crew was a pleasure. They completely removed the kitchen floor (and several layers of subfloor) in my 100+ year-old home, made repairs to floor joists and installed new flooring that looks beautiful. It was an evolving project and I appreciated the team's flexibility and speed with which they completed the project."

"I highly recommend CRS Painting. They have done so many home improvement projects for us and every one of them has been outstanding. They painted the exterior of our raised ranch, put down a new wood floor, and painted our family room. The most recent project, in November 2025, was painting our dining room, living room, halls and a bedroom and installing and staining six doors. Their is exceptional. When they paint they move all the furniture, cover it carefully and put it back neatly. They patch all the holes in the walls and cracks in the ceilings. They pay attention to every single detail and are friendly and responsive. I will definitely hire Celso and CRS for our next home improvement job."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

The lifespan of tile flooring can vary significantly based on the material and maintenance. Generally, tile flooring can last anywhere from 10 to 30 years, but high-quality, well-maintained ceramic tile can last 75 to 100 years. To achieve a longer lifespan, you should clean the tiles and grout regularly, reseal the grout annually, keep the floor dry, and avoid placing extremely heavy items on it to prevent cracking. Choosing a high-quality tile (Grade 1) will also contribute to its longevity.

For professional labor and materials, it would cost between $6,000 and $28,000 to install 1,000 square feet of Saltillo tile flooring. If that’s out of your budget, you could consider laying the tiles yourself or choosing a less expensive type of flooring. For example, vinyl flooring costs just $2 to $7 per square foot, so for a 1,000-square-foot space, you’d pay $2,000 to $7,000.

The lifespan of bathroom tile can be 50 years or more, depending on proper installation and regular maintenance. A well-done tile job, whether it's a new installation or a retiling project, can last for many decades. To lengthen the life of your tile, it's best to have it installed by a professional and to perform regular maintenance. This includes routine cleaning, resealing, and regrouting as needed. With proper care, you can expect your tile to last 10 years or more before needing major repairs or retiling, especially in high-traffic areas where tiles can wear out more quickly.

Yes, but you’ll have to use some other type of tool to avoid damaging the tile and possibly injuring yourself. Some alternatives to tile cutters include a glass cutter, angle grinder, and wet saw. Depending on the tile material, you might simply be able to measure and score it with something sharp, like a carbide-tipped pencil, and break it off. Be sure to sand the edge for a smooth installation.
