"Besides an intricate kitchen tile backsplash installation, the job also included some drywall repair, plumbing, electrical, installation and general handyman services. Jeff was professional, personable and neat with an attention to detail. Communication was prompt and clear, and all my questions were addressed. It was a pleasure to have Tatnall Contracting work on my vacation home. I would definitely hire Jeff again."

"Stone Nation deserves ten stars! This family-owned business is the best! Professional! Helpful! Timely! Respectful! I shopped for my new kitchen countertops at seven companies and am so glad I found Stone Nation. Save yourself the time and call them first! This husband and wife team do it all themselves with own their small crew. The showroom is in Milford, DE, but I didn’t have to drive there. Biriviana came to our home and showed us many stone samples in the home environment. She was patient, creative, friendly, and focused on us and our kitchen needs. Then, Fernando came and took exact measurements and made a template. Back at the shop, Fernando fabricated our chosen stone himself. No sending the job out to a distant fabrication company. The installation was scheduled for only a couple weeks later. Other companies had predicted ten to twelve weeks. The best part---the ease and convenience on installation day. Stone Nation took care of everything on one day. The installation crew removed the old (ugly) countertops and sinks and installed the beautiful new quartz. They even arranged for a plumber to re-connect the new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal for a nominal fee. Did I pay more for all this service and convenience? Absolutely not! Stone Nation’s total price was the best in the area. It even included the new kitchen sinks! (I bought the faucet and disposal.) So, choose Stone Nation for all your countertop and stone needs. I can’t wait to work with this great company again on my upcoming bathroom remodel. (I will post some pictures once the backsplash is completed.) Sherrie (Ocean View, DE)"

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

To make a small bathroom look bigger, choose light-colored tiles in a medium- to large-format size. Lighter colors like white, cream, or light gray help open up a room, making it feel larger and more airy. While it may seem counterintuitive, small tiles can actually make a bathroom look smaller because the increased number of grout lines creates a busy pattern that visually shrinks the space. Instead, opt for medium- or large-format tiles for a more seamless, expansive appearance. For the best effect, pair your tiles with a matching or similarly colored grout to create a continuous surface that enhances the illusion of a larger area. Avoid dark colors, heavy patterns, and contrasting grout, as these can make the space feel more confined.

For best results, you should remove the toilet in a bathroom before removing tile or installing new tile. If you don’t remove the toilet, it will be harder to fully waterproof the tile around the toilet, which could increase the risk of mold growth or plumbing leaks. If you have trouble removing the toilet, hire a plumber to help.

No, when done correctly, removing the tile shouldn’t damage the subfloor. However, if there was pre-existing damage to the subfloor from standard use or lack of maintenance, the subfloor may need repairs. For example, if the contractors notice mold growth on the subfloor or an uneven surface, you may need more extensive services before installing new tile.

If you DIY tile removal, remove the tiles one step at a time, individually removing the tile, grout, and mortar to prevent unnecessarily damaging the subfloor. Depending on the age of your home, consider having a professional inspect the subfloor to ensure it’s in good enough condition to lay new tile.

Generally speaking, it is better to cut tile wet when using a fast-moving wet saw to reduce dust and chipping. However, tile can be cut dry when using just about any cutting tool. Dry cutting will result in a bigger mess and may increase the risk of chipping or cracking, but if you’re just making small cuts, dry cutting is a safe and viable option. Cutting dry also means you can apply tile grout sooner, so it’s better for rushed projects.

The best trowel for penny tile is a 3/16-inch-by-5/32-inch V-notch trowel. Because of the small size of the penny tile, you want a trowel with small notches that can lay a thin layer of mortar on the surface you’re tiling. If the notches are too wide, you risk applying too thick of a layer of mortar, and it can squeeze out between the penny tiles.
