"I've got a 112 year old hose that is pretty solid, but it had a cracked floor joist and part of the flooring wasn't properly supported. I hired Kristian and his team to install a couple of lally columns to support a carrying beam and sister a couple of floor joists. Many contractors wouldn't even return my call because I wasn't looking to complete a huge remodel job, but Kristian came over, gave me a fair verbal estimate on the spot, and worked with me on timing to complete the project. Not only that, but the solution wasn't overly complicated. The job was straightforward, completed exactly as described in the time described, and there was no scope creep. If I ever have a larger need, they'll certainly be my first call. I would highly recommend K&X construction if you need any services that they offer."

"I recently had my shower tile replaced and couldn’t be happier with the results. The craftsmanship was outstanding — every tile was laid with precision and the finished product looks completely clean and polished. You can tell real care went into the work. Beyond the quality of the install itself, the team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were professional from start to finish and showed up when they said they would. Communication was easy and straightforward — no hassle, no surprises. If you’re looking for a tile installer you can trust to do the job right and treat your home with respect, look no further. Highly recommend!"

"All the jobs were completed promptly and with great attention to detail. Noel even worked on a Sunday to help us meet a deadline. Noel runs his handyman business very professionally - uses proper 1-page contracts, accepts credit cards, responsive and punctual, has all the right tools in a super tidy work van.
We would strongly recommend Noel Jarrett to any homeowner, and we definitely would use his services again.
One item we didn't discuss is what to do with the material (now garbage) that the contractor removes so that replacement material can be put in its place. (e.g. old ceiling tiles; old wooden boards).  It appears that taking away such debris or putting them in our garbage can is not in the scope of Noel's services. This is not a criticism, just a reminder that this should be discussed upfront with all handymen.

"Adam and his team (Marco and Danny) are excellent! Removed old kitchen cabinets and granite counter top, put up new drywall and installed new cabinets with precision (my countertop is now level!), and they tiled backsplash. His communication with logistics/timing was spot on. He and his team worked efficiently to get the job done and quality of work is top notch. I would absolutely hire them again."

"My thanks to all of the people who already wrote reviews of Marble Effects. Their good reviews made me consider, and then hire Marble Effects. It was a good choice. I donâ t write quick and dirty reviews. I try to anticipate what I as a reader would really like/need to know and I try to answer those questions/issues. We needed three tiling issues: A stall shower in a small bathroom had to be totally removed/demolished and a new one installed. There was a leak in the tile on the wall with the plumbing fixtures of a tub/shower in a hall bathroom that needed to be dealt with. The master bathroom stall shower needed to be regrouted, and the seams recaulked. When we began, we got proposals from a couple of tile installers, one of whom had been recommended by our long time plumber, who we trust implicitly. His proposal was professional, but he wanted to make a mountain out of a molehill. The work he wanted to do was more than any other proposer. And he absolutely refused to give us a proposal that included the cost of the tile, and refused to even tell us the square footage of the tile needed until and unless he was awarded the contract. There was no way to get to a bottom line cost without understanding the cost of the tile. Despite being recommended by our plumber, we did not use him. Thatâ s when I went to Home Advisor. Home Advisor provided the names of several tile installers that had good reviews. Two of the three proposals were pretty unprofessional; to me they seemed as if they could have been prepared on a cocktail napkin. And they only saw one way to do the job. No inventiveness at all. We didnâ t use them. The third proposal was from Marble Effects. Mat came. He was inventive, seeking to minimize the cost. Nice. He fully explained the options we had, and explained the plusses and minuses of each. He clearly understood what we wanted, and what we needed. His proposal was truly professional. It specified his insurance coverage and his license number. It was clear. It was complete. We talked about it and he made a few adjustments. We chose Marble Effects. And weâ re glad we did. The work was completed today. Everything was nicely, carefully, and professionally done. It took a bit longer to complete than had originally proposed, but thatâ s OK because there was no rushing, nothing slapdash about everything Mat â and his father Hiram â did. Everything they did, they did carefully. They were always neat. They always took care to protect our property. They did it right. They explained what they were doing. They explained why they were doing it. They explained why, from time to time, the work had to pause to permit something to set and/or cure. Perfection -- itâ s clear from their attitudes and actions â is of primary importance to them. Nice. Multiple times during the course of the project Mat asked us if everything was OK; if there were any problems we had with anything Mat wanted to take care of it. (When was the last time any contractor did that? Never, in my lifetime.) Nice. And the price quoted in the beginning was the price I paid at the end. No extras. No additions. Nice."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

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. 

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.

You can attach tiles to a wall using thin-set mortar. You’ll also need a notched trowel to create grooves within the adhesive so it flattens completely when pressed in and securely holds the wall tiles. Finally, you’ll need grout to smooth the gaps between the tiles and, ideally, a grout sealer to prevent mold. While it sounds simple enough, proper planning and execution are crucial, so carefully review the steps in this guide or hire a pro tile installer to complete this project.

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.
