"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."

"Mike and his crew did an excellent job on the basement remodel project. The project was to add 2 rooms, 3/4 Bath, laundry and storage closets in the basement. Prior to signing the contract, Mike spent a lot of time to understand the requirements and provided a number of suggestions as well. The quality of his work is excellent and he also ensures that the work done by sub contractors (plumbing, electrical etc) is of high standard as well. He pulled permits from the city and worked with the inspector to ensure that all work was according to city's building code. We are happy with the quality of his work would definitely recommend him for any home remodel project."

Backsplash Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Different types of tile cutters may work best depending on the type of tile you are cutting and the size of your project. There are two main types of tile cutters: manual and electric. Manual tile cutters are quick and easy to use for small projects and softer tile materials, but they can only make straight cuts. Electric tile cutters make light work of big projects and can cut through harder materials.

You cannot tile directly over hot mop waterproofing because tile requires a smooth, solid surface to adhere properly. Additionally, the shower bed pan needs to be raised and sloped toward the drain to prevent water from pooling. However, you can hot mop and apply a sloped mortar bed over the top (to which the tile can then be adhered). 

Whether you use a brush or roller depends on the size, shape, and amount of tiles. Rollers are easier to maneuver over large areas and can apply a more even coat of paint in a shorter time frame with no visible brushstrokes. Brushes are best for precision work, particularly in very small areas. If you don't want visible brushstrokes on your painted tiles, you can paint details with small foam brushes instead of bristled paint brushes.

You can, in theory, tile your fireplace hearth with most tiles. However just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. For example, it’s much better to use unglazed tiles because glazed tiles are more resistant to cracking under extreme heat. Porcelain is more heat-resistant than ceramic, but you can still design the hearth as you like by putting the most heat-resistant tiles directly under the fire and, if it matches your style, add more decorative tiles further from the center of the fire. 

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are made from clay, but porcelain tiles are fired in a kiln at a higher temperature. This makes them more durable, but it also means porcelain is more expensive than ceramic at $3 to $5 more per square foot.

Even with the higher price point, many people choose porcelain over ceramic because there are more color and design options.
