"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."
"The customer service was excellent, Carlos responded very well to everything that I needed. I would definitely look forward to doing business with Day Painter again in the future."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
The best types of tiles for a shower are ceramic and porcelain tiles. These materials are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for wet environments. Porcelain tiles are slightly more durable than ceramic. Both options come in a wide variety of styles, so you can achieve the perfect look for your bathroom.
You have creative freedom when it comes to your tile trim. If, however, you are considering skipping tile trim, please think twice about that. It is good practice to install tile trim, whether on walls or flooring. Think, too, about the aesthetic you are going for and choose a trim type and color that will help enhance the space.
Most professional shower tile installations take between six and eight hours, depending on the size and complexity. Most projects get completed in a single workday. DIY-ing the project takes around three to four days or roughly 16 hours. However, this will vary based on the skill level of the person completing the work.
Removing old tiles can be more complicated, but it can also be more manageable, depending on your circumstances. Typically, old tile is hard to remove because the adhesive had loads of time to bond with your wall, becoming a formidable foe between you and your new tile installation project. On the other hand, old tile in high-traffic areas can become loose, making it much easier to remove.
Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.
