"We needed our master bathroom floor tiled and wanted large tiles used . Fran was the only guy to come and take a look at the job and chat with us about the job. It allowed us to put a face with a name and discuss the project and what we wanted and what was the best way to accomplish it . Fran and his associate James were kind , professional and hard working. They did a great job and I will definitely be hiring them again for my other bathroom that needs a lot more TLC. Fran also gave a very competitive price that wound up also being the best quote we got. Jackie"

"Nixon and his crew did an outstanding job gutting and rebuilding a very challenging bathroom in our house, which was built in the 1930s. We are very happy with the craftsmanship and the price, and it was a pleasure to work with them on this project from start to finish. I highly recommend this excellent contractor."

"Manny (BHC, LLC) did an excellent job on our bathroom remodel. We’ve used Manny/BHC for several projects over the years, and we’ve been very pleased every time—this one was no exception. Communication was clear, he was reliable, and he handled issues quickly and professionally. The workmanship was high quality, especially the tile work and waterproofing (Schluter system), and the finished bathroom looks great. This was a full gut, but they encapsulated the work area, protected the floors, and kept dust from spreading through the house. They also cleaned the job site daily. The crew worked 12 days straight to demo and completely rebuild the bathroom, which minimized the impact on our family. Fair, transparent, and easy to work with. Highly recommend."

"Plow and Property has completed several projects for us on a very old and neglected rental property and we are so glad we found them. The first job was a vacant house clean out. The house was left in truly appalling condition. The cleaning crew worked and worked and worked so hard and so long I was telling them to stop. They made a filthy house fresh and pleasant again. I would not have thought it could be restored to such a fresh condition. The next job was replacing the old casement windows which were rotted wood frames in crumbly 1950â s cement. They not only repaired the window foundation area but other foundation ugly spots as well and put in beautiful new sturdy basement sliding windows. They also re-dug and replaced the adjoining window wells which were undoubtedly the original wells and were falling apart. Regraded the foundation area around the wells and reseeded without being asked. While they were in the basement doing the windows they cleaned a bunch of that up too so itâ s no longer a horror movie waiting to be filmed down there. Everything they did was simply above and beyond. Wesley Vercosa has returned my many questions and concerns with lots of information and smiles, bless him. My retired husband worked in construction for many years and he is happy and impressed with the work. We are planning more work with them already."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Arnaldo and his crew did an awesome job on fixing a bouncy floors, sheetrocking, removing/fixing odd and shoddily done things that were done by the previous owner that made the floorplan unworkable,laying new floors and making our house beautiful! He was honest with quoting the work that had to be done and was very responsive and timely. Was courteous and cleaned up after every days work and did a good job in a reasonable amount of time. I would definitely hire him again if we need work done in the future."

"This kitchen tiling project by Cross Tiles exceeded my expectations in every respect. What began as a straightforward installation revealed an unanticipated structural subfloor issue, yet the team addressed it with technical expertise and practical judgment. They implemented a sound repair solution, and did so at a very reasonable cost—without inflating the scope or disrupting the overall project plan. Their adherence to the original timeline was impressive, especially given the additional subfloor work. Throughout the project, communication was consistent and proactive. They checked in on small details to ensure alignment with my preferences, demonstrating both precision and respect for the homeowner’s perspective. Workmanship was excellent: tile alignment, grout lines, and finishing transitions were executed with care and craftsmanship. Cleanup was thorough at the end of each day, leaving the space orderly and minimizing household disruption."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, 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.

It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space. 

Like glass tiles, you will not need to seal most porcelain tiles, particularly if the porcelain is already glazed. It depends on quality. Porcelain is very water resistant, but it is not 100% waterproof. To avoid staining, some homeowners use a penetrating sealer. It is also a good idea to seal your grout. Unless you use epoxy grout, grout is very porous and can harbor bacteria, mold, and mildew.

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. 

Once cracks appear, it is hard to stop tiles from cracking more. If the cause of the problem is improper subflooring, underlying concrete, improper tile joint sizes, mold growth, or structural issues, the only way to stop floor tiles from cracking is to redo the entire floor, fixing the underlying issues first. If cracks occur after impact damage, hiring a professional tile contractor to replace the cracked tiles, fix loose floor tiles, and restore the grout around them can prevent further damage. It is also important to keep your tile and grout clean and maintained to prolong its life.
