"I can’t say enough good things about Atkins Home Services. My original floor installer (a big-box store contractor) discovered subfloor issues after pulling up the carpet and completely halted the job, leaving a mess and my upstairs nearly unlivable. I called three contractors for help, and Josh stood out immediately. He was the most affordable, very friendly, and came out the very next morning. He quickly diagnosed the problem and fixed the subfloor that same day with a thoughtful, minimally invasive solution. The repair was perfect. Josh also gave me a great quote to install the flooring after the other contractor bailed. He explained everything clearly and fit me into his schedule that same week, which was a huge relief with a child in the house. He did a beautiful job installing my LVP and even handled my stair treads. Fast, professional, and easy to work with — I’ve already recommended him to others and would absolutely hire him again."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it would be best if you waterproofed your shower walls before tiling. The cement backing board behind the tile is not waterproof; it’s only water-resistant. On top of your tile backing board, be sure to use a waterproof shower membrane before you start installing your shower tiles.

Glass tiles are among the most difficult to install. This is because their transparency makes the adhesive visible, and any imperfections on the opposite side are also likely to be visible. Glass tiles also must be handled carefully during installation, as they are prone to scratching. For these reasons, glass tiles often require professional installation to get the most out of their beauty and unique look.

You can lay tile directly on a plywood countertop, but if it’s a high-traffic surface in a kitchen, it’s better to add a moisture-resistant base. Plywood is susceptible to moisture, so if dampness seeps through from the surface around the sink or where you prep food, it can cause the plywood to warp, leading to grout damage, cracked tiles, or mold growth under the surface. 

Tile installation can be expensive because it requires more time and labor to install than many other materials. For example, laminate flooring can click and lock into place, and carpet comes in large rolls that you can secure to the floor. On the other hand, tiles need to be cut, laid individually, grouted, and left to cure.
