"Brian was excellent! He responded to our request within 20 minutes and answered every little question we had about the project. He was so reasonably priced, confirmed 3 days in advance of the job and showed up early both days. He and his partner were quick and professional and we are so happy with the result of our backsplash."

"I went to Angie's to find a contractor for a bathroom remodel earlier this year and a floor installation 2 weeks ago. Called on a Monday the project Mgr. came out on Tuesday, and my floors were installed on Thursday. So this was the second time I went to Angie's, and they are GREAT!!!! I will be going on there again for light install I would highly recommend Angie's for anyone looking for installation for any projects you have. The worker's are respectable and polite they make sure you are satisfied with the work before they leave as well as asking midway. They clean the area before the leave as well....AWESOME!!!!"

"Mike, Mary and Rich took a bathroom from 1948 to 2018! Our bathroom was a complete disaster, with old tile, plumbing and a cast iron tub. Now I would be proud to show in a magazine. A miracle. They arrived on time, stayed within budget and were very nice. Completely comfortable having them in our home! Highly recommend!!!"

"I have been remodeling my bathroom myself for the last few weeks in my spare time. It was a DIY project that I have been looking forward to for a while and planed on doing all the work myself. I ended up running out of time and I needed to find someone to finish the drywall installation . I called 5 people and out of that, 2 did not contact me back, and 1 did not show on the date agreed on. I ended up choosing Breathtaking Homes because of the quality of communication I had from day 1. Called me back same day of my voicemail , sent me a quote within the same day, responsive communication via email , sent me updates while he was working on the project, and flexible with my schedule. I would definitely use this service again."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.

Porcelain tiles can last 60 years or longer. With high-quality tiles and proper installation, your porcelain tiles may even outlive you, making them well worth the initial investment.

To help your porcelain tiles last longer, you should clean and maintain them regularly. You don’t need any harsh chemicals to get the job done. Rather, use a cloth, hot water, and mild detergent. And don’t forget to learn how to clean floor tile grout, as that’s just as important as tile maintenance.

For glass tile, you want to use unsanded grout. Sanded grout is a stronger and grittier cement grout that is great for installing tiles with wider gaps and into joints. However, it is susceptible to scratching glass tile and is more difficult to use in thinner gaps. Unsanded grout, while more expensive, is easier to fit between thin gaps and is less harsh on delicate materials, like glass tile.

On average, tiling a shower costs between $1,800 and $5,000, with most people paying around $2,700. The price of this project depends on multiple factors, including the kind of tile you choose, the size of your shower, and labor rates in your area. If you decide to tile your own shower (instead of hiring a professional), it’ll likely cost $800 to $1,400.
