"Sergei and his partner did an amazing job doing exactly as I asked for. I got my exterior fencing stained/painted and got one of my interior rooms painted."
"Rafael was wonderful to work with on my backsplash install. Very timely and let me know the proper supplies to purchase. My subway tile backsplash turned out better than imagined."
""meticulous" - if one had to summarize Jason's work, meticulous would be the word. Jason listened to our ideas, added insight based on his years or experience, and then executed our plan to perfection. Watching Jason work is like watching a fine craftsman plying his trade. Over the years I've had numerous occasions to watch tile setters knock out a job...bing bam, their out the door and what you get is what you get...good, bad, or indifferent. It's just another job. Not so with Jason. Watching the manner in which Jason performs his work, it's obvious the man takes pride in what he does. Everything has to be "just so". In this day and age, it's increasingly rare to find a craftsman who takes pride in his work. Jason is DEFINITELY one of those."
"I canâ t say enough good things about Zack and his crew . My wife and I had some kitchen tiles that were in need of repair and Zack reached out to us immediately and met with us the same day. He immediately identified our problem and discussed with us the best way to go about repairing our tiles and within a day we had our tile fixed ! I would absolutely recommend LionsHeart Tile and Grout to anyone looking for tile repair or new installation."
"They responded quickly, was able to coordinate appointments for measuring and installation within 3 days of calling them. Carpet looks great, installers were professional."
"Installed the tile on my shower & built new bathroom vanity and installed bathroom could definitely use a cleaning haha but the work is still amazing"
"I've used TPA three times for three different types of projects...refinishing wood floors, installing wood floors in new construction, and a tear out and replacement of wood floors. Eddie takes great pride in his work, pays attention to the details, and his craftsmanship is exceptional...all of which show in the finished product. He carefully listened to our needs and gave us recommendations to ensure he delivered the results we wanted. I would highly recommend TPA for any and all of your wood floor projects."
Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts
Thinset mortar is the best adhesive for ceramic tiles on concrete. It is easy to work with and has a slower dry time than mastic or epoxy mortars. This longer dry time gives the installer more time to adjust tiles, which is especially useful for DIYers who may not have tile installation experience. It can also be built up to help level any depressions or gaps in the concrete subfloor.
Penny tile should be sealed to protect the grout from moisture and keep stains from damaging the look of the tile. If penny tile is in a humid or high-traffic area, like a bathroom, kitchen, or entryway, it needs sealant. Any type of tile and grout is best maintained with a sealant reapplied by a pro every one to two years.
Costs range from $5 to $15 per square foot for installation and $150 to $600 for repairs, depending on the material and complexity.
It’s important to leave a gap in the corner when tiling to allow room for tile expansion. Leaving between one eighth of an inch to one tenth of an inch is enough space.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
