"After explaining all facets of the work he was about to accomplish, the Installer (Mr. Bernard W.) quietly went about his work. The results were truly outstanding - the new system worked perfectly, with piping thru concrete quite cosmetic in appearance. I could not be more pleased. Thank you for quality, top notch service."

"We hired Martin’s Home Improvement for an extensive home renovation project . We had windows, siding, three bathrooms, and changes in the floor plan done. We couldn’t be happier about how every single project turned out. The work crew was very professional, respectful to our property, and showed excellent craftsmanship. The tile work in the bathrooms is immaculate, and windows, siding, drywalls are installed perfectly. We couldn’t be happier on how our home turned out. We are glad we put our trust in Martin and his crew for our house renovation . We highly recommend Martin’s Home Improvement !"

"I was very satisfied with the quality of the drywall repair that A Step Above did for me. I had several rooms in my house in need of some major TLC and they definitely delivered. They let me know about pricing and what to expect up front and answered all of my questions while being professional throughout the entire process. Everything turned out great and now you can't even tell where the damage was in the first place."

"Paddy's were excellent to work with. They were clear about the estimate, gave us an install date and came when they said. They were very efficient and clean around the work area. They stayed within our budget and got the job done without any fuss. I would recommend them for your house repairs."

"I choose Mike after interviewing 3 other contractors, Mike was very knowledgeable about the glass backsplash that I wanted to have installed and the price was right, also he replaced my kitchen floor with a vinyl wood look, Mike and his team was on time, got right to work and cleaned up after the job, both of my projects look GREAT, my kitchen looks brand new. I would hire him again if needed ,excellent job... Thanks Mike"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

Technically, you can start tiling in a corner and work your way out. However, it's not traditionally how tiling is done. Instead, work from the bottom middle of the wall. Tile out the entire row with whole tiles before moving on to the next row. Once you finish installing all of the whole tiles, then you focus on tiling the corners.

While you shouldn’t use thinset mortar on its own as a floor leveler, it can work alongside other products to help level floors. For instance, you could start with a self-leveling compound, let that dry, then apply backer board with thinset mortar to help fully even out the floors ahead of laying tile.

Glazed ceramic tiles don’t need to be sealed because the glazing already offers some protection against moisture. Unglazed ceramic tiles need to be sealed to keep the porous tile safe from moisture and staining. However, both types of tile can benefit from sealing. Sealant can make the tiles easier to keep clean and offer more resistance to water, spills, and stains.

A cement backer board is not needed for laying tile on concrete. Sometimes referred to as a cementitious backer unit, or CBU, backer board should be used if the subfloor is plywood or OSB. The backer board provides a base on which to install the tiles that isn’t as likely to be damaged by any accidental water seepage as natural materials would be.

Ideally, you should remove tile before installing hardwood floors, but there are good reasons not to. Removing stubborn tile can be a labor-intensive job that adds days to the project. The subfloor beneath the tiles could also be damaged during the process, meaning you’d have to repair the subfloor before installing the new hardwood floor.
