"So happy with the results of my kitchen backsplash! I had already had my cabinets and countertops redone... Mike did an amazing job removing the tile from the wall and reinstalling my new tile without damaging my walls, countertop or cabinets. Very professional, kind and punctual! Would use them again in a heartbeat! Very happy customer!"

"Josh, the representative that explained of the remodel was informative, professional and friendly. Carlos, Mike C., and Rafael were great. Professional, clean. and friendly. Answered my questions, and completed the job in one day, despite the large amount of work required to remove all of the tile in our full size shower and installing a tub. Happy is not a strong enough word to describe how we feel about our new bathroom...highly recommend!"

"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."

"A Step above Painting and Drywall are "exceptional". I need new flooring all on the 1st floor as well as needed the entire house (Interior) to be painted. Andres and his team did an outstanding job on my floors and painting. Tony (Mgr) is awesome - busy - but he does follow up, great person and team. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your projects."

"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

Solvents dissolve tile adhesive, but the right solvent for the job depends on what type of adhesive you are trying to remove. For instance, dispersion adhesive requires stronger removers, like bile soap or even paint stripper, but some adhesives, like cement-based products, can come off with water and soap or mortar remover.

The easiest tile size to install is large tiles, and they’re easier to install than small tiles—the job is faster and simpler when there’s less placing, adhering, and grouting to do. However, when tiles get really big, they’re more difficult to handle, cut, and fit. Standard floor tile sizes are 12-by-12 inches, 18-by-18 inches, and 12-by-24 inches.

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.

As long as you follow the instructions on your peel-and-stick tile packaging, it should not damage your walls. A possible instance when you may accidentally damage your walls is if you install tiles improperly using additional adhesives that aren’t recommended.

Also, you can damage your walls if you’re not careful when removing tile. For example, you could accidentally make holes in the drywall with a paint scraper if you don’t heat the adhesive long enough before trying to pry it off.

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.
