"We recently had our deck project completed by Central Iowa Contractor Services, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the initial estimate to the final walkthrough, the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They communicated clearly throughout the project, showed up when they said they would, and paid close attention to the details. The finished deck turned out even better than we expected. The craftsmanship is excellent, and it’s obvious they take pride in their work. The crew kept the work area clean and made the whole process stress-free. If you’re looking for a contractor who is honest, reliable, and delivers high-quality results, I highly recommend Central Iowa Contractor Services. We couldn’t be happier with our new deck and would absolutely use them again for future projects."

"Bruce and Nate were great to work with, and they did a fantastic job on our kitchen back splash. They were here as scheduled both days, and they cleaned up their work area. We highly recommend Porter Tile Company."

"I would highly recommend this company again. They were very thorough and explained every detail that they encountered. During the initial estimates they discussed different options available for the project and some initial issues that could happen. They stuck to their estimate and with a couple problems that occurred during the remodel, they gave us the estimated costs and kept it as close to our budget as possible. I will likely be using them again when I start my kitchen project."

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

The rule tells you how to cut tile to install it in a corner. The 3/4/5 rule recommends that you should have 3 feet across on one straight line, four feet on the other perpendicular line, and 5 feet of length from the end of one of the lines to the other. You’re making a right triangle with the tile, and the hypotenuse (the line across from where the 3-foot lie and 4-foot line meet) should be 5 feet long.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Lack of durability is the most significant downside of painting tile. However, a painted tile backsplash doesn't see the same kind of action as, say, painted flooring tiles. For backsplashes, the durability of the finish is crucial because they often require cleaning. However, you can minimize the durability problem by using mild cleaners and water on the painted surfaces.

Yes, but you should only put tile directly on drywall in smaller areas that don’t experience excess moisture. For example, a small kitchen tile backsplash could work, but installing tile directly on the drywall in a bathroom or other chronically damp area is not a good idea. Either way, a cement backer board is a far more reliable solution, as drywall is susceptible to moisture and can warp or cause your tiles to crack.

The best types of tiles for a shower are ceramic and porcelain tiles. These materials are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them ideal for wet environments. Porcelain tiles are slightly more durable than ceramic. Both options come in a wide variety of styles, so you can achieve the perfect look for your bathroom.
